Thank you so much! Yes I changed my diet and ate clean, I’m still doing so now! I have treats but avoid high sugars! I was also doing HIIT training and using a rowing machine! The main contributor has been couch to 5K though!

Congratulations - you look amazing! What an achievement.

Congratulations! What a positive post. 😊

You have just inspired a lot of people I bet.

You look amazing now, healthy and fit.

Congratulations! 😀

I just cut out high sugars! I’ve found that most effect for me :)

C25k helps a certain extent to lose weight, and as the weeks go on can also show muscle definition.

Losing weight is mainly done by being on a calorie controlled diet, losing weight really comes into play through running constant 30 min runs 3 times a week or more..

That is exactly what I am doing, along with other exercise and clean eating 😊

Excellent, I haven’t quite mastered the dieting side of things 😂 being on furlough there has been to many treats that I wouldn’t have normally had, hopefully work comes back soon to save me from myself 😂
