Well done both on the weight loss and starting the programme, i have completed the programme before and struggled so this time i took a different approach, like you i lost a bit of weight and started walking i built it up to 5/6 days week and 4/5 miles distance the programme has been so much easier this time so good luck and enjoy :)
