Hi my name is Tracey and I am 52, married with 3 grown up children and 2 gorgeous grandsons. I have always hated exercise of any kind especially running!
But in the last 3 years I have managed to lose 3 stone, some with slimming world and now I am with weight watchers. But today I decided to start couch to 5k, which I might add I quite actually enjoyed it 😁
I lived in Egypt for 7 years where my daughter and Grandsons still live, I have decided I want to be a fit and active grandmother not a short and fat one lol

You made me giggle Soanesie!! Congrats on your incredible weight lose journey. Glad you enjoyed your first? & for many, hardest run 👍🏻 Lots of support & valuable advice on this forum. Best advice l was given was to slow down to a snails pace, slow & steady. Happy running & enjoy your journey 👍🏻
Running won't actually make you taller I'm afraid. But you will feel 10 feet tall as you knock off one achievement after another with this fantastic programme.
Well done losing 3 stone. As for actually enjoying week one? You’re kidding me right... it nearly killed me and I just wanted to quit... and I used to be a runner! Great job today... if you loved W1R1 you’re gonna love W9R3... we shall cheer you on all the way.
Well, done for getting started! I finished the C25K on Sunday and it has worked brilliantly at motivating me and being 54 and a bit overweight I needed motivation. One thing that helped was feeling it was ok to repeat a week when I needed to (I needed to do week 5 3 times). I have lost just over a stone in weight along the way.
You've just got to get out there 3 times a week and keep going. You will feel great when you graduate. I hope you have got an encouragement team around you. My family got sick of the texts demanding congratulations!
