Great you want to start c25k. You'll get lots of encouragement and support on here . Just go slow and slower again if needed and remember to drink lots of water per day and not just on run days about 2-3 litres it really helps.
Weight loss is possible you have to mindful of what you are eating and be very patient. Good luck 😊😊

Well done on your decision and enjoy the course - I was a similar amount overweight and have just completed week 8 (one week to go). Whilst I have lost a reasonable amount of weight the big positive for me is feeling much heathier and fitter. Good luck!

Congratulations on starting. Please don’t look for huge weight loss. You will tone and with a good diet weight will come off but probably not as quick as you expect. I was 1 stone overweight when I started 4 1/2 months ago and have lost 6lbs. However I have toned and can get into clothes I couldn’t before. Drinking lots of water helps me to curb my appetite and also helps with the running. Good luck and enjoy it.
Best of luck to you 🍀🏃♀️ and ohh what a cute doggie 🐩😍
