Firstly I am glad I found this app, it has helped me no end. I now run 5K park runs in around the 30 minute mark and am doing 5K a day in the gym to reduce my time. And the benefits of this are I have lost over 1 1/2 st in weight and feel great, shirts that were tight fit perfectly, the down side is I have had to buy new jeans and trousers.
You don't need to give everything up, I have stopped crisps and chocolate but still have alcohol and fish and chips. Moderation and preperation, prepare food and eat in moderation. Try making your own soup and take that to work for lunch.
I hope everyone carries on after the app has been completed and also remember, if you feel bad when doing a run, slow down, take a wlk and I bet you can get going again no problem.
Good luck
