Fat, slow and still going!

[KLHg]

I just ran 30 mins for the 2nd time (W9 R2). I have lost 2.5 stone but still have lots to go! I started running wk 1, after dark, on snickets, in a duffel coat! 11 weeks ago!! I can't believe I am doing this, a 41 year old fat mum! Started this because my 4 year old asked why his mummy was round!! only managed 4.2 km but - better to be slow than on the couch!! Can't wait to complete the program!!

Forget distance.... just keep it slow and steady! Looking forward to your Graduation post... and party!

Out of the mouths of babes! Well done on your weight loss, and fantastic that you are nearing graduation.

Go you!!!!

I'm a fat mum too lol

I've only lost 6lbs but my shape has definitely changed!!

I can't run fast but I managed my first 20min run without stopping 2 days ago such a fab feeling!!

Hoping I can make it as far as you!

I start week 6 today!!!

[KLHg Graduate in reply to Njfarrell]

You can, I promise!!! trust the program. 30 mins is only a bit further than 20!! That's what I keep trying to tell myself.

You are doing brilliantly and my weight loss really kicked in 3 or 4 weeks ago so keep going it will come!

Good luckxx

I hope so got 1 run left with intervals (w6r2) then I'm onto the runs with no walking in between!!

I was a "bad boy" and ran for over 30 minutes last week (got told off on the forum!), so I now know I can do it, but I'm back to being good again and off for my W8R1 today, so a bit behind you. Like you I've lost over 2 stone and also still have more to go. It's taken me since December 2016 to get this far, so you are doing FABULOUSLY!! You sound speedy to me ...

[KLHg Graduate in reply to davidhwynn]

Thank you!! It's a good feeling losing the weight isn't it!! Well done you!!! It doesn't matter how long it takes- just that you're doing it!! We'll both be graduates soon!!

I think you are doing amazing.

Lovely post - can't wait to read that you have graduated.

[Hidden]

That's speedy! I wasn't even at 4K at graduation. It will be a fantastic feeling and well done you! Slim trim Mum now !

[CraftyLeslie]

Well done- it's people like you that inspire people like me (just done W2R3) Becoming a "runner" still feels a long way off at the moment and you are already there 😁

[KLHg Graduate in reply to CraftyLeslie]

Thank you! Trust the program, you can do it!! Finishing week 2 is a massive achievement!- Well done you!!

[Redbillie21 Graduate]
