Way to go, that's a massive milestone, BMI Obese to Overweight Running for 5 minutes is also progress, are you doing the C25K running plan?

thanks Olsbean , I have had a look at the C25k running plan , I have to say I am doing my exercising haphazardly , only the second time in the gym I do prefer swimming to running all though the 5 mins intervals meant I ran 18 mins in one session ,I was surprised . yep been unfit for a long time ,I am off to the marathon today to watch I always find it inspiring so who knows maybe one day , I had a look at photos and read profile what a difference you have done it, thanks for the comment , and good luck

I honestly can not praise the C25K program enough and I urge anyone serious about getting to fit to give it go, it's truly phenomenal. If you can commit the time (about 3 lots of 30mins (ish) per week) then it will reward you. I ran a massive 14.15km on Friday, running for 1 hour 20 minutes non stop, not the fastest I know but, to go, in just 12 weeks from someone who could barely run for more than 90 seconds without a break speaks volumes about the Plan!

Good Luck

Hi mikethepark,

To quote the Punch & Judy man - "that's the way to do it!"

Good luck with your weight loss journey.
