1st day.

I'm very over weight but with help of my daughter I have just done my first day. Surprised myself that I did it. Now to keep going.

Well done!!! That's the hardest part done, just starting.

I too am overweight (4 stone now, but it was 5 stone when I started last March). Keep and attitude of "I can do this" and you'll be fine. Use this forum lots, the people on here are amazing. Post about your runs, good or bad. They will help you through and offer you the best advice on your journey.

I look forward to reading future posts!

Brilliant, well done! Keep going, we can do it.

[KLG157]

Thanks. I'm good at starting things but really want to give this a good go.

You will.. we will help

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Very,very well done.. you will not regret this . (There may be days when you think it, but hopefully not)!

Just follow the programme...take your rest days and more if you need them. Other exercise on rest days could help... walking or swimming.. and some strength and flex exercises may help too.

A healthy eating regime, in conjunction with this programme is a great combination..

Listen to your body and just take it very slow and steady.... and keep posting! We are great at keeping you on target !

I too am very overweight, 1 stone off, 4 to go. I'm on week 3 and I cannot believe I am doing it. Don't give up it'll be totally worth it. I'm 42 btw.

Wow. Have you lost the stone through running?

[troubleatmill in reply to KLG157]

No, I am following slimming world. Started Feb. Feeling great to be tackling weight and fitness levels

I've just done my second, good luck and keep going- I love the phrase

"No matter how slow you run, your going faster than sitting on the couch"

My biggest problem is finding something to wear to cover my wobbly bits!

[KLG157 in reply to Lizerd]

We can do this. Wobbly but and all !!

I've posted about this before but I've found a thing called a skapri which I really like, has a little skirt for modesty! Got mine from Amazon
