Hello. This is my first post here. I have just finished week 4 and discovered this forum today. I'm looking forward to hearing your stories and getting a bit of encouragement along the way. I have tried this program before, but I never made it past wk 4. I am in much better shape strength wise this time around and am hoping to push through with success this time.

Well done! I hope I complete week 4! I’m only on week 1 and can’t imagine it!

[ReggieP59 in reply to Tasha99]

That's how I feel about week 5.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to ReggieP59]

Good point

[ReggieP59 in reply to Tasha99]

We can do it! We can encourage each other!

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Did you feel like that at week one about the next weeks?

[ReggieP59 in reply to Tasha99]

The first time I tried, I did. This is my second attempt, so I knew what was coming. I am in better shape and stronger this time around. Week 4 was the one I dreaded, but I completed it this week and ran an extra one this morning for good measure. I won't deny I am nervous about this next week.

Good luck!

Hello and welcome!

There's tons of support here, I'm sure we can help get you past W4 although I have found it's more a mental battle than physical. You need to believe in yourself and your ability to push past the usual "I can't" feelings and do it for your own reasons. Completion of every week is it's own small milestone and each one just feels better than the last!

Good luck and enjoy the journey! 👍😊

Thank you! I am so determined to do this. It's one reason I joined this group. I love the positive attitudes.

All the best with Week 5 . I start week 5 tomorrow too and although each new week brings its challenges I am sure we will be fine .
