My BMI is 26.6 so no not slim, it should be 25 or under ,I'm 5' 8"overweight .I've lost half stone want to lose another half then see how I am. I'm trying to eat 500 cal less than I burn off in a day. Have you got a fitbit, it helps.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5, that is a milestone run with C25K, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran 🏃🏾 😊
