I DID IT! Wasn't easy, but I didn't give up, I slow jogged.. warmed up properly... aaaand the treadmill was on the 1st incline! So not flat!

Yay me!!

Well done!

But... forget the incline Lizzie - simply not necessary at this stage and you're making life unnecessarily difficult for yourself . Take the easiest path- and drop the incline :-)

Thank you.. I read that having even just the smallest incline is better making it a more natural feel... its only 0.5... neither here nor there... so I'll drop the incline

I just think that with your struggles so far (and you're doing great right now btw!), you're best making life as simple and easy for yourself right now. You don't need added complications :-)

Well done Lizzy 🙂👍

That's great .

And would 100% agree with John_W

Loose the incline !

You will have plenty of time (and stamina) for that at a later date .

But congratulations 👏👏👏

Well done you.

Not giving up is a good thing :-).

Even when it gets tough.

Keep up the good work
