Back from week 6 day 1. Got on scales and worked out my BMI for the first time in 6 months... Just within the Normal range! I'm really pleased. I used to work the other side of town and with no car often used to walk home along the downs and seafront: lovely and a good hour's stomp. Then I got a new job in a hospital 10 mins walk away and although I do a very active job the weight just piled on. Just shows how important it is to be active. :-)

Well done, I am about a week behind you and also finding it is helping with weight, although it sounds like I have a bit more to go than you. If nothing else I feel better and am sleeping better

Well done ;) I think I've put weight on as I keep thinking "I've run today so I can totally have that biscuit/chip buttie/whole Victoria sponge (ok, not the last one) but I'm good at delusion so I keep telling myself I'm getting stronger even if my tummy is getting bigger ;)

Absolutely! Well done

My BMI is in normal range now from being at the upper portion of the chart in the obese section. Phew

That's great Allie. Well done.

That's great Allie, congratulations! Just think where C25K could take you when you've finished the programme..

If I went by my BMI id be well scrawny at 6'4" it says I should be about 12 stone. I'm now 15 stone and still look scrawny. If I reach my BMI weight I'll look like something out of tenco. I'm a 34"waist too. !!
