I'm very much like you! I did couch to 5k years ago, before I had my eldest daughter, and I was really fit and slim. I never really went back to it and she's now almost 7! I have a 15 month old as well. And a stressful job. I'm currently doing C25K again and ran my first 5k in 8 years last month 🏃‍♀️💪 I can't add you as my…

Hi! I'm in the UK too and trying to get back in shape after baby no 2 who is now 15 months old. I'm doing couch to 5k (slowly) and want to lose around 1.5 stone. Happy to accept new friends 😃

@kilobykilo My run last night did not go well! Note to self: 7:30 Is too late to run before dinner. I had no energy and got a horrible stitch that made me need to walk. I will just repeat that run. Hopefully tomorrow but having a week from hell at work so we'll see.

Did w6d2 on Saturday. I think I'm actually looking forward to the run tonight having no walking intervals! I wish my legs were in the same place as my brain, haha.

W6D1 yesterday. It was hard after am extra couple of days off due to illness. Back on it now though 👍

It is definitely more of a mental hurdle than a physical one (although my legs were tired by the end!). At this point I think it's actually easier to keep going than do intervals. I was slower than I'd like though, hoping I can get faster as I move towards the end of the program!

Because each run is short and you can do it any time I find it pretty easy to keep up with. My husband would also shame me if I was being lazy, haha. There are some runs I've found harder than others but that is often due to me being tired in general so then I obviously find it harder. My fitness has definitely improved so…

Week 5 completed. 20 minutes of running without any walking and I survived 🎉

Hi everyone, I'm late to the party but completed week 5 run 2 today. I did c25k years ago (pre-child) but haven't run since I fell pregnant at the end of 2014. I definitely don't find running easy and I don't feel like I'm really getting any better, but I'm doing it. If anyone wants to add me, feel free 🙂

I'm a bit further on from you - I did week 5 run 2 today. Feel free to add me if you like 🙂

Feel free to add me too 🙂

Too slow is still sat on the sofa. As long as you get out and do it you're winning 👍

Still feeling grotty so week 2 still on hold...

I finished Week 1 yesterday even though i wasn't feeling great. I feel awful today though and actually took a day off work which is very unlike me. I have no idea if I'll be well enough to run tomorrow but I hope so 🤞

I'm happy to get some new friends too 😊 My diary is open and I love having a nose in other people's! I'm aiming for just over 1400 calories a day. I don't have that much to lose and I'm also only little so need to have calories fairly low in order to lose anything. I try to log everything and do a fair amount of cooking…

I did Week 1 Run 2 today. I'm in the UK so also cold and dark! I was tired tonight after first week back at work. After my toddler went to bed it would have been so easy to not bother. I know as soon as I miss a day I'm just gone though so need to keep at it.

I did my first run today so a week behind you but happy to support each other, feel free to add me 😊 I did c25k in 2013 and lost a lot of weight, got really fit etc. Had a baby in 2015 and never managed to get back to it so never really lost baby weight. Actually, i think i'm heavier now than i was 6 months after she was…

Underwired sports bras are not for me unfortunately. I am going back to an m&s one I think. They just changed their size options so i was looking for an alternative but can't find anything I like as much!

Yes and it's rubbish, definitely can't run in it! Any recommendations?

I am feeling inspired after having a little read of your diary. I've done c25k before but currently completely unfit again. I will be starting as soon as my new sports bra arrives - definitely can't run without one!

Tomorrow is day one for me. Today I had my first hangover in 4 years. I did not cope well. Thank God for my lovely husband! 2019 is the year I will get back to my pre-child weight. Better late than never 👍

Hi! I'm new to this group too, my daughter is almost 14 months. I'll send you a friend request :)

Here are some of the things I take: Oatcakes with low cal toppings eg. reduced fat pate, cottage cheese, light cream cheese Malt loaf Fruit/veggies Beef jerky Cereal bars Nuts Roasted chick peas I also get Graze boxes. I have the Light Box option so everything is less than 150 calories. Check out their website - it might…

I haven't cut out any foods but I do make more sensible choices so that I'm never hungry despite eating less calories than I used to. I'm not a nice hungry person. I have stopped drinking any alcohol during the week though.

I'm 4ft 11 and have always had big boobs. Before I starting dieting I was 130lb and wearing a 32G. Now I'm 109lbs and wearing a 30F. Only lost 1 cup size despite losing a stone and a half. I'm disappointed really, I've always wished for small boobs but it doesn't look like I'm going to get them. If anything, they're much…

I'm 4ft 11inches and have always had big boobies. At my heaviest I was 133lbs and wore a 32 G bra. Decided to lose weight and now at 109lbs. My boobs definitely felt smaller, but also less perky as the skin hasn't really bounced back. Thought I'd definitely have lost a fair few cup sizes but still a 30/32 F. I was…
