Hi I would definitely recommend c25k as it really does work. Just keep repeating week one until you are happy to move on even if you just power walk the run sections and build it up. It isn't easy but stick at it - believe me I've been there! Also so please don't worry about the gym. Everybody...

Well done - keep at it. As I have said on previous posts if I can do it you can do it!! Follow the program but don't be afraid to repeat weeks if necessary and don't worry about your speed. Good luck

Hi all 1lb off for me last week and a STS this week. I seem to have hit a wall with the loss at the moment despite sticking to healthy eating and excercise programme - any advice to kick start the weight loss?

Well I have finally done It - Got up really early and completed a 5k run (only walked approx 200m up very steep hill). Delighted!!

Thanks - will work towards 5k. Did you find running helped with your weight loss as the difference in the photos is truly amazing?

It's a STS for me this week so here's hoping to a good loss next week!

Welcome. You have taken the first step and this forum is so supportive.

Have a fab time!

Thanks Jane. You are doing do well running 5.5k! My next aim is to build up to actually run 5K as I am nowhere near it at the moment. Not sure whether to still run with c25k for 30 mins and build up my speed for a bit or use running app to do 5k first ( probably take me an hour!!!) and then...

Yuck! Focuses the mind though...

Well it was kill or cure but I completed the programme today. Did the 30 min run albeit very slowly. Ankle still swollen but strapped and doesnt seem to be any worse for it. For all those thinking of doing the programme or struggling - If I can do it anybody can. Going to increase speed and work...

Hello all 1.5lbs off this week giving total loss of 25.5lbs. Delighted as half way there and hit my 10% body weight goal at same time. Just gotta dig deep and keep going...

Well it's certainly working for you. I hurt my ankle but once it's ok I think I will try upping the excercise - i sit at a desk all day so will need to come up with something to get me more active in general as i am the "done my 3 times a week so thats me done and now I can sit around and watch...

Wow!! Well done think of how many packs of butter that is!!!!! Your an inspiration to us all. What's your secret - do you think its all the exercise on top of sticking to the diet?

1/2 off for me this week bringing my total to 24 (and closer to the half way mark). Pleased with this as unable to exercise at all this week (c25k) jaxkar7 - thats another pack of butter gone (lol)!!!!

Am actually desperate to get back to it. Ankle still swollen but fingers crossed will be back out in a weeks time. Thanks for the advice i think i will go back and then rebuild. How's your hip holding up?

I was in same position halfway in. Definitely slow down - personally I found running outside better as I seemed to naturally adjust my pace whereas on treadmill I was reluctant to reduce the pace

Well done for finishing programme and going even further. Fingers crossed I will finish it soon and will then just look to run 5k in however long it takes as no where near it at moment.

Totally gutted!!!!! Started on my very last run and 5 mins in I twisted over on my ankle. Ankle up like a baloon so can't finish programme until its gone down (not broken). I can't believe it's happened as I was so close. Not sure when I start back i should go back a week - any suggestions...

Glad your hip held out and well done on your PB. Glad there seems to be nosh or issues looks like resting for a bit did the trick. I do feel it more now and really need the rest in between the runs. Its all quite addictive - as much as I dread it I really enjoy it ( finishing it anyway )

Hello all Had a good week - 2.5 off bringing total loss to 23.5. Slowing getting to the half way mark!! Will update when I log onto desktop as I can't seen to copy list from my phone.

Well done.

Morning all Just completed second 28 min "jog". Absolutely exhausted but delighted to have completed it without stopping ( still no where near 5k though!!). One more 28 then it's the 30 minute jog to complete the programme (fingers crossed) To anybody reading this, please give it a go. It's a...

Well done all! It's just been a bit quiet on the c25k front and I am looking for inspiration!! I am still plodding on. On week seven. had to stop for a minute during first 25 min run but managed to get through the second run without stopping. I did measure distance and am nowhere near 5k so...

Anybody still doing this?

Well done you!!! I have got my week 7 day 3 in the morning & it'd been an uphill struggle! what do you intend to go now? Are you planning on going further / faster or just sticking to the 5k runs?

lol!! Just being too hard on myself as determined to do this. Thanks for the support, it's what makes this site so fab. Well done on your weight loss - your nearly there now!!

Morning all 1lb off this week bringing total loss to 21lbs ( disappointed ) Please could someone update me? Thanks

Hi all much better result this week. 4lb off bring total to 20lbs. Please could somebody update when they get a chance. Next goal for be is the halfway mark. Thanks all

Well done especially in this heat and increasing your speed. What will you do once you finish programme? For some reason I ended up doing the week 5 day three 20 minute all run again!!!! Nevermind I am sure it's good preparation for the 22 min run!! Lol!!

Well done that's brilliant! I bet you got a real buzz out of it. You will be doing 10k next!! I must confess I am enjoying the programme despite how difficult it is at times and the support and advice on here has been truly fantastic and has really helped me struggle onwards so thanks everybody...

You are so right... I lost four stone, put it back on and then more and more anx more. I don't know where I was during that time but guess I have now taken back control. I have just put on 2.5lbs (eaten too much simple as) and its so easy to go back into hiding however thats the very time you...

Hi There is another c25k forum under excercise which is really helpful and seems to be more active which you may find useful. I'm plodding on very slowly!

Well done you! The 25 "jog" (I go too slow to call it a run!!) is fast approaching. Did you do it on treadmill or outside - I did my 20 minutes on treadmill but kept looking at clock all the time and think outside may be better as more target based goals Ie run to the trees, the school rather...

Hi I am currently on week six ( completed the dreaded 20 minute jog) and am heavier than you so it can be done but obviously the weight doesn't help! The best advise I was given was to slow it down to the pace that suits you. The best thing I ever did was get good running trainers. Mine were...

Hi all, just finished week 4 so start week 5 next week. Got to say day one of week 4 was a real struggle and almost gave up on the whole thibg. however took some advice and ran outdoors for day 2 at my own pace and this made a massive difference. Ran day 3 on treadmill at reduced speed and...

Help!! Yesterday I finished w4 day 1 and quite frankly it was a massive struggle. I was ok until the last five minute jog which I only just finished. Felt brilliant knowing i completed it but could easily have given up as it was soooo hard. I am totally dreading day 2 knowing I have to do it...

Hello Can I be added please? Started 2 weeks ago and 8lb off Thanks

Well just finished week three day one and wasnt it just a step up from week 2!!! Starting to get really hard now! Really struggled towards the end of the three minute job & kept looking at the clock hoping the 3 minute walk would start any second. Did it on treadmill so all on the flat - will...

Hello all I saw this challenge and ddownloaded the app. I have done week one and am looking forward to week 2. Just a few questions - do you guys do any other excercise on your days off particularly any jogging on treadmill etc (not c25k based)? Is it a hood idea to repeat weeks if you found...

Hello Don't worry about going to the gym everybody is too busy doing their own thing to notice what your doing or look like. i have a lot to loose and find no problem going to my local gym and find the instructors really helpful. Once you have taken the first step hopefully you will be...
