Welcome! Loads of folk all ready to set out on this road... :)

This is not a weight loss programme... BUT linked with a healthy eating regime who knows...

Check out this FAQ post for Newbies...lots of sound advice there.

Slow and steady is the mantra... and keep posting too!!!

Well done for choosing this plan. This is the friendliest forum I have ever found. We’ll all be cheering you on!! I’ve just started week 7, I’m classed as obese (that’s a working progress). This on its own won’t help with the weight but will definitely tone up. I have never run in my life (in fact I used to write my own notes at school to get out of pe). I gave up smoking, started healthy eating and got gp referral to the gym. If I can do this you definitely can. Happy running 🏃‍♀️ and keep us all updated on your runs. This forum is great for motivation.....even when you’re struggling, there’s bound to be someone who’s been through the same no matter what it is!!

If you are careful with what you eat you can successfully lose some weight on c25k . I had 4 stone to lose after stopping smoking I did brisk walking first for 4 months and lost nearly 2 stone and I'm still losing weight gradually so good luck to you 😊

Welcome. I’ve done the plan, but I’ll be running with you as will many here... we will all be better versions of ourselves in 4 months, you included... and yes it’s worth the hard work... enjoy amazing yourself.
