Get the popcorn out!!

Afternoon all,

Been a lurker for 9 weeks, always said I would post after W9 R3... today is that day! 😊

Firstly, thank you to everyone who posts, asks questions and supports. That’s what makes this an amazing site 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was looking for healthy eating tips and fell into this site!

Never a runner, in fact, never a jogger!

About me - Jason, 47, 2 wonderful girls, great wife, happy in my job... happy days! Hmmmm

Took the girls swimming in January and the 5yo said daddy you have got a big fat belly! (As only a 5yo can!) hmmm

Time to hit the scales 17.12 stone 112kg hmmm

Liked my food, beer and always been a big boy!

Time for a change, I thought!

So stopped with the beer started to eat a healthy diet and took on the couch to 5k!

9 weeks later...... 16.1 stone 101kg and I’ve just run for 30 minuets 3 times in a week!

That’s my journey so far...... looking forward to my next run on Thursday. (Just for me!)

Thanks again to everyone who posts, it helped me every day

Happy running everyone

Jason

Enjoy your graduate bling and view from that podium.
