W1R2 I did it again!!!! 🎉

[Shazza1969]

Hi all. Just done run2 of week one! I just can’t believe I’m actually getting off my fat arse and wanting to do this..... and actually enjoying it! 💁🏻‍♀️

I am still scared of whats to come in the following weeks ahead .... will I ...can I actually get to the end ? Who know but I’m going to give it all I’ve got. I kinda feel proud of myself too 😊 I have never ever done any sort of exercise and made it part of my life, I guess it’s never too late is it?

Hope everyone is having a great day, sun is shining here today and so am I! 😘

Oh well done Shazza!! 👏👏👏. You should feel proud. Its the most wonderful feeling to complete a run isn’t it?! It’s a fab programme and a brilliant forum with all the support you will need. Well done 👍

Thank you lovely. The support is unreal on here. It really does help. 😊

Great job Shaz! 👍😃🏃‍♀️

Slow and steady is all you need to do to get you to graduation. Get there safely and you can then lay plans for what’s to come. We can help you with that 😃

Yep, it’s great to get off the sofa and doing something with that bod. Other than stuffing crisps into it 🙂. I had an arse the size of Wales. Not now. I literally ran it off. You can too 👍😁💪

Thank you so much 😊

It feels great to have down that first thing this morning instead of going for a McDonald’s bloody breakfast 🥞

I am following slimming world too. Not going to a class I think it’s too much with doing This as well, so my partner is weighing with me on Thursday mornings. I started last week! He is a marathon runner and is supporting me all the way. Without any pressure. I want to loose 4 stone. 🤦🏻‍♀️😫

It’s one day ... step at a time isn’t it ?

Thanks again for the message. Have a gorgeous day 😊

I do WW. Been maintaining for nearly 8 years. I weigh in and stay to class. I love it! It’s a lovely group, and without a young lass there setting me off with C25k podcasts, I’d maybe still be a lard arse ☺️ She got me going with it. I’d never heard of it. I can’t ruddy stop running now, and I started racing in my late fifties. It is such a Blast I can’t tell you 😁🏃‍♀️👍

Since then several other members have started running, and one lass is racing now so we take our medal to class 🏅👏

I lost 65 lbs. good riddance 😁. If your husband is a marathon runner erm don’t run with him. Go at your own pace with the app 🏃‍♀️ In the future when you’re all graduated you can let him jog with you, your pace, not his. Just think, in future, you can marathon together 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏅💪😃

Well done Shazza! You have totally got this!!

[Jay66UK Graduate]

Don’t “kinda” feel proud. Feel very, very proud. Well done!

The weeks to come get harder. That’s the point of them. If you stay determined and slow down when you need to you will continue to smash them.

Respect them, be a little anxious in anticipating them, but don’t fear them - I made that mistake all the way through. You will be ready for each week when you reach it.

Enjoy the next run!

I've just started week 6 and I sound so like you when I started, not an exercise type of person let alone running....for fun 😂 If I can do it (so far) then trust me so can you. My advice would be to leave your ego at home, so what if you don't complete a run, you will one day if you keep pushing on. I've failed miserably on a few runs but just tried again. Also go slooooowly like so slow u feel like you would be aswell to walk lol! Well done n keep going x

Edited to add, I started this program over a year ago but gave up as my weight loss (weight watchers) slowed right down and I could only put it down to this. I have since lost over 5 stone and it's actually boosting my losses now and I don't have alot to go now. Try not to be powered purely by weight loss as this is what stopped me continuing the c25k. Sorry for the long post lol!

Well great, you had a good day. That is wonderful. But remember you will have bad ones too. Come and share those here too. The key to this is to keep going, next step, next run, next day, next week. We are all in it together.
