Hello, I started couch to 5k at the beginning of Feb and I found it difficult on the whole and I did repeat some days or skip to the next one without having truly completed the one before - overall I definitely ran more days than the program does though! Anyway, I then faffed around for a bit (2-3 weeks) before focusing a…

I'm 21 - anyone can add me if they like! I've been using MFP for about 2 months :) SW: 187 lbs CW: 171 lbs first GW: 145 lbs

I weigh myself every morning. I've only been doing it for a month and I'm finding it really interesting. I track it on my phone on the Withings app so I have a pretty little graph charting my progress. I always used to think weighing yourself everyday was ridiculous but now I'm doing it I'm finding it quite interesting.…

Been running since beginning of Feb and I'm addicted haha! I see it as a virtuous circle - running helps you lose weight, but then you want to run better, so it motivates you to eat better and lose weight, then you can run more easily/further so you get better at running and therefore lose weight... and so on and so forth!…

I think I tried that day 3 times, gradually getting a little bit further, and the last time - just scraped through it. I re-did week 6 day 2 several times before doing the 25 minute jog and SLOWED down!

I finished it today! Points I particularly hated it and thought I was going to die were: week 2, week 4 day 1, week 5 day 3. I repeated week 6 day 2 lots of times before trying week 6 day 3 after the disaster that was week 5 day 3. My advice is take it slow, make sure you have proper fitted shoes and do NOT give up, even…

I finished Couch to 5K today and feel a bit like I could take on the world - DO IT! Also make sure you have running shoes and that the person in the shop checks your feet before advising you on which ones. Other than that - don't go too fast. Good luck and have fun (even when you feel like you might die - it'll feel good…

You can do it! I finish tomorrow, 10 weeks after starting. I had one week where I couldn't run at all because of snow but I also repeated various runs - one of the first ones with 5 minute intervals, the 20 minute one about 3 times and then the 2 x 10 minute one about 3 times before I attempted 25 minutes. As in, I've done…

Eccomi qua! Been here since Feb and only here until June but I'll at least know where you're coming from!

Hey, I've been living abroad since last July in France, Spain and now Italy. Working as an assistant in primary schools and living with a host family (who also provide me food) at the moment - I've concluded that the Mediterranean diet doesn't exist! Started on MFP mid March and I'm pleased with my progress. I just try to…

Hi, I'm 3 days away from finishing Couch to 5K (will be finishing on Sunday!) and after that I'm going to take a couple of weeks to consolidate 5K before starting on a 5-10K bridge programme. From there - who knows?! Add me if you like :)

This is my first goal - hoping to be there in June! Well done! :) (at 32.9 BMI last time I weighed myself)

I'm around 5'4 too - please add me anyone :)

Hey, I'm going to add some of you guys too! All I would mean by looking for people my own age is that I can't really relate to the 'Mum of 2 who has put on weight in their 30s'... I've always been overweight for as long as I can remember... :( Nice to see you all here.

I've only just started (AGAIN) but I would love to join too please! Awaiting the arrival of the scales to my home in Italy...
