Week 7 never ever thought I'd be a runner

[Aceslady74]

Having once weight over 21 stone no way did I think I'd be told I could call myself a runner. Having lost 6 stone dieting now want to get fit and as I hated running at school what bigger challenge could I pick to not only learn but love running. Couldn't run a lamp post at the start now second time I've run 25mins this week and even working away took my running stuff and ran down the Thames so i didn't miss my schedule run. Only problem is seem to be putting weight on not loosing it but it's not putting me off just wish that would change soon 🤞

Well done. I couldn’t run for a bus. But I’ve now done my first park run and am watching my times go down. I get a bit tetchy if I dont run. Im loving it. I’m sure your weight will stabilise. I’m on long term drug therapy after breast cancer and weight gain is a side effect. But now finding its stabilising. So I’m sure it will happen for you you too.

Well done. There’s some determination showing there! Keep enjoy it.

My weight hardly changed initially but is now dropping. I noticed I was eating more but I was dehydrated not hungry - keep the water flowing.

Enjoy the final runs.
