I started this plan as a very very unfit man 19st 8. And now 4 months later I am doing regular exercise 5 times a week 3.5 stone lighter. I have played hockey for Spalding town in the league on a regular basis I am doing circuit training and a weights plan. I have also assessed my DIET and started eating healthy as my Personal Trainer said it is 80 diet 20 exercise. What I am trying to say is that this app inspired me to do all of the above so I would highly recommend to anyone.

Well done you, what an inspiration. I am week 4 and keep asking myself ..can I actually start to believe I can graduate. I love the exercise but trying to get my diet sorted seems a bit more tricky.
Yes you will graduate!
Best thing to do I start with a known plan I signed up as an online slimming world member for three months learnt the principles then adapted it to my lifestyle. Now when I pick up food I think now how many minutes running of time in the gym is that going to be. Haha stupid I know but works for me. The only thing I would say is you need a treat day every week else you will never stick to it good luck x
I will make a bigger effort to concentrate on my diet, I had originally lost weight but plateaued for ages,Im hoping the exercise would kick start it again but tbh bad food habits have crept back in
Also on slimming world 💪🏽 3 stone 4 lb loss so far.
Try either 16:8 fast or 5:2 I’ve lost over stone in 8 weeks!

Wow well done! Can’t wait for mine! You are an inspiration!
Keep it up Tasha the feeling I got after
Every run spurred me on to my next. If I can do it so can you and I will be here to cheer you over the finish line. X
Thanks! I’ve only got week 9 to finish and hope to graduate on Saturday but sinusitis is holding me back this week 👿 I’ve signed up to ju-ju-‘s bridge to 10k plan next but I’m not sure I’ll do it. What’s next for you?
Tasha I have a 5k run to do for a mental health charity then I am looking for a 10k plan as I have a 10k for September then hopefully half marathon early next year. My dream is to RUN a full marathon mid to late next year. I also will be playing Hockey again this winter. Circuit training, swimming & weights should keep me busy. But I am loving the running.
I think I’ll sign up to the local 10k for September. Something to keep me going on Ju-Ju’s 10k plan. Sounds like you’re turning your life right round. Well done! 💪🏽
Your doing a great job too Tasha. It is a lifestyle change I wish I had done 10 years ago. X is ju-ju’s an app??
Yes I wish I’d done it earlier too. It’s over on the bridge to 10k forum. She’s taking names now for the next group of people who are signing up.
Best get signed up then see you on the other side.
I tagged you in it
Yes Unfitwestie, but what will you do in your spare time? 😂

Well done westie !!! You are definitely not unfit anymore. What an amazing achievement , bet you feel great. So glad you completed it, we started about the same time. I am trying to tackle my weight problem now. Anyway back to you... CONGRATULATIONS ! and welcome to the shiny graduate badge club.
Thanks I remember plenty of your posts. Are you still running I have just signed up to Ju-Ju’s bridge to 10k
Yes still running for 30 minutes 3 times a week. I've started doing trail runs. I run less distance over the 30 minutes doing trails, and I still find running hard work. 10k maybe my challenge for next January. Hope you continue to enjoy your running journey...injury free
And I hope you enjoy your running as well.
