Slow but sure

I have a lot of weight to lose and I have kept myself on week one since a sore knee held me up just after Christmas. I am noticing changes in me. Usually have to stop half way up the hill near my house, I got to the top before I realised, I have lost the equivalent of 4 bags of sugar in weight although looking at calories too,for the first time ever. I think I'll move onto week 2 tonight to celebrate!

Fantastic well done Sugarpink!

Yay ! Week 2 well done, glad you are making progress. I am imagining you running up the hill near your house tossing bags of sugar into the verges as you go !!

Well done. Keep going SugarPink. Sticking to this is key to all you want to achieve for yourself. Being slim and healthy. That hill, although a pain in the neck to you at the mo, will be a great tool in your road to fitness. You burn more calories and get stronger legs from hill climbing. They are a right royal pain in the bum early on but if that's what you're faced with then you have to deal with it. Sounds like you are, so that's great.

I have lost a lot of weight and am keeping it off thanks to running and eating healthily. Slow run/walks burn loads of calories!

keep us posted on how you're getting on. Don't be fearful of moving on in the plan. It's meant to be progressive
