Nice one Dronemuppet88. I was 20.5 stone when I started and 18.5 stone when I graduated. You can definitely do it, and lose weight along the way. As you say... run on👍
Thank you this is very helpful as i am over 17st but want to get down to 15 so thats just what i want to hear.!
Congrats for starting! You will find heaps of useful information on here. Definitely read the guide post as well because it is a treasure trove. As you may have seen from comments is that you should run slow and slower again as it is what helps you get through the runs! Happy running and good luck!

I was over 26 stone when I started and I'm now down to 21.5, running 3 times a week and anything from 2 to 4 miles (currently but this will rise) on each run.
This program will change your life, just take every run slow and steady with the aim of completing that run, don't worry about speed or distance, ignore the 5k part for now.

Well done on starting, and you have done the hardest run! Keep slow and make sure you drink water and stretch afterwards and you will do fine! X

Congrats on making that first step!!
Great to hear! I only started last weekend and I'm loving it so far. Stretching is the key first of all it seems..legs hips and bum. Enjoy your week!
