So long story short - I used to be a runner, not fast, not elegant just an average sort of runner. I stopped running about 3 years ago due to ill health (enduring mental health issue) and piled on up to 30kg. ☹️☹️☹️
Three weeks ago I took the plunge and joined the 12 week NHS Weight Loss program. Thanks to all the support and advice I have received, today I did my first walk / jog combo and managed to do 3k - the time was slow but I came back out of breathe, perspiring heavily and bright red - and I feel FANTASTIC 😀😀😀
The point of the post ??? I don't think I could have done it without the positivity I have found on this forum - I hope every newbie that joins gets the same benefits and feels the love too 💕💕 xx

Congratualtions Sun_seeker - I'm just getting back into running after an injury and losing the habit for a while, so I know how joyous it feels to be getting back into it again
Have you thought about joining this weekly thread ?
Thank you Hidden for the link to the T&H forum. I'm definitely in the tortoise section (even when I was running 🏃 3 to 4 times a week). So without any prevarication (I'm a master at that) I'm going to join and give it a go 👍 😀😀 x
Well done, Sun_seeker , that's another huge step back to health and fitness for you. moreless will be so pleased to have another tortoise in there to keep her company. I was in there for a little while (starting the excellent Couch to 5k running program). But my dodgy knees played up so I am doing knee strengthening exercises before trying again. Good luck!
