Agreed!

Another vote for this!

Get the distance/time running sorted, then the pace will come later as your fitness and technique improve and your body gets used to running in my experience (I finished C25K in September 2012, ran a 5k in October 2012, a 10k this month, and I'm running a half marathon on Sunday)!

Have you tried just slowing down?

Eat normal chips instead of Slimming World ones?

I just use semi skimmed milk and sugar personally.

Yes!

Yep, i'm a smoker and have been for the last 20 years or so (like you I started at 16). I run regularly and do Taekwondo training twice a week. It doesn't seem to impair me that much (I don't seem to be any more out of breath etc than other people at Taekwondo, and they are non smokers who are significantly younger than…

I agree with the posters who have said slow down. If necessary slow down to just over walking speed.

Agreed, it's costing me a fortune in clothes!!!

I do Taekwondo (ITF) - fantastic workout and builds good lean muscle. Only a yellow tag at the moment.

That's all I did at first and I lost loads and quickly gained in fitness.

Bio Oil is supposed to be good.

This!

About 3.5 lbs, which i didn't think was too bad considering the over indulgence and lack of exercise!

Yes, it won't be pretty, but still going to log!
