Well done, thats a fair chunk of weight.

Very well done. Are you also following a weight loss programme?

[janem47 in reply to Millsie-J]

Hi ... not really.. i am using the 12 week programme to monitor calories and exercise the NHS weight loss app..but its more a case of no more Lattes and smaller food portions...I still have roast dinners but have steamed veg instead. I run on the C25K program and go to Yoga once a week...eat less move more is the mantra

That’s excellent.

I just think it important to ensure new forum members do not think that C25k alone can result in this weight loss. As we always say, it helps with weight control but healthy eating is the major contributor, particularly when only running shorter distances on the programme.

Well done for everything! Don't think too much ahead: you'll be fine by the time you reach W5R3. All the runs before will prepare you for it Just enjoy yourself, relax and slow down if you feel it's getting hard.

Well done!

I've been gaining weight ever since I increased my mileage! I've mistakenly assumed running many kilometres a week meant I could eat like a horse. For me 3hr of running is about 2500 calories, so weekly only about 350 calories a day deficit from exercise assuming a normal diet. My diet has not been normal though! I think I assume that having run I can have an extra portion here, and there, and a treat, and whoops.....I did the c24k before Xmas and now on the b210k prog. I don't eat sweet stuff which helps a lot, trouble is I'm a carbohydrate junkie now due to the running.

You have to maintain diet discipline and then the running will payoff. I need to follow my own advice! (Xmas never helps though!)
