Yay! Completed week 1!

I am really happy despite the weather wasn’t good and I just about to skip today, but I glad I didn’t. It wasn’t raining heavily so that was a good sign. So pleased and also feels good as well even though it will take a while to get my weight down. I’m 5ft4 but weighs about 12 stones, so need to get down about 2 stones I think.

From one newbie to another: well done! Or as Laura says: 'Give yourself a pad on the shoulder!' :D

Great job! You can complete this programme with your weight, and it will start to come down at some point. Just keep on running and tweak the diet a little if you need to. When you get to 20 minutes and above of running, have a look at run fuelling foods... you may well find something that you already love but a nine runner would see as “bad” food... that way you can eat that treat on run days without having it put weight on.
