W8D1 completed! This is my last week on the programme......

Good luck and happy running!

Good luck to both of you. Ive just started on Week 8. Never ran longer than 30 seconds before I started the programme and can now run for 30 minutes straight. Can only manage 4k in 30 minutes but will work on increasing my speed in the next few months.

I so know what you mean! I had been building myself up to take the plunge since I started losing weight at the end of last summer. I could barely run 30 seconds when I finally started 7 weeks ago and I also suffer from Asthma. I completed W7D2 today and can comfortably run 25 minutes without stopping. I use my Salbutomol…

W5D3 completed! Once I got past 10 minutes I found it quite easy! Cant wait for W6....

I was the same 5 weeks ago.! I started the C25K and havnt looked back.....I am now addicted! I have mild asthma but can now run for 20minutes without stopping whereas 5 wks ago I couldnt run 1 minute without having to stop..... Perhaps take a look at the C25K programme or similar?

bump to read later!

I am on week 5 this week, just tried running on my day off in-between sessions and ran 20minutes straight. 4wks ago I struggled to run more than 1 minute so it is certainly possible for you to reach 5k in 3months. Good luck :)

W4D3 completed today. Looking forward to W5 :)

I've just completed W3D1 and loved it. 3 weeks ago I couldnt run 10 seconds without stopping. Ive learnt not to worry what I look like when running and I dont need to keep up with anyone! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. I log every day and have an open diary :)

Finished W3D1.....just. Cant wait to have another go at it!

Well done :) Im hoping to do the same someday! Im on W2D2 on the C25K programme......

Good luck, let us know how it goes!

Im on W2D2 and worried about the same! I may redo week 2 before attempting W3 as I have never run before and can only just make 90 seconds running.....

bump to look at later :)

Thanks for the advice on speed, i slowed my pace down today for day2 and it felt better for me. Just have to try and remember that it doesnt matter what I look like to others whilst im running on the treadmill!! And I dont need to keep up with them!

D1W1 completed today. I decided to lose weight and get fit at the end of August and have lost 2 stone so far and hoping to lose the same amount again. I have been exercising most days and built up a walking base of a brisk walk for 30 minutes at a time and have introduced different inclines over the last 2 months. I have…

Me too :)

Bridlington - feel free to add me anyone?

If i go out and have a few drinks I log as many of them I can remember drinking!! I then forget about it and start anew the next day...

Im away on a girlie weekend today till Sunday so will not be exercising for 3 days. Will try and track my calories and update each day but I know I will be way over my allowance. Will be back on it on Monday.

Have done an hour this morning in the gym and its even MY BIRTHDAY!! Have jumped back into it after a party last saturday where I went way over my calories. Going to keep to 1200 each day along with an hour gym session as Im away for the weekend on a girlie trip!!

Everyone is doing so well! Big High Fives to everyone. Im working the weekend but will try and fit in a gym session when I finish. Have a party tomorrow night and I know there will be lots of "naughty but nice" things there. I have banked extra exercise calories so Im going to indulge a little and then get right back to it…

Ive done an hour in the gym this morning and am doing the same later when my daughter is home from school. She wont go on her own so im going again with her! Have a party tomorrow night so will have some extra calories banked ready for the alcohol....

Ive joined the group and would be happy to lose anything in those 4 mths. I shall not be popping pills, drinking shakes or even starving myself..... Everyone has their own opinion, if they dont like the sound of a group then theydont have to join it.

Thanks for the advice. On reaading through different posts I hear this a lot, I am going to start eating a few hundred extra calories a day from my exercise bank and see how I go. I dont want to do this as a quick fix and then give up so im quite happy to learn to go steady and keep it off at the end!! Cheers.

Ive signed up to a local leisure centre for 3 months to help motivate me. I have been going for just over a week now and been to the gym every day for an hour, swimming once a week and a step aerobics class once a week. Should I have a rest day? I dont want to at the moment as my motivation is really high and I want to…

Fab work, what great motivation to keep going till you get to your goal.

Well done, what great motivation to keep going.

Is there a group for this yet?
