Can I join in the challenge too? I would like to be 9st 5 or less.

You wanted a bath in your new bathroom and its not going to be finished until tomorrow

Wow supergirl1980.. That is a fab achievement... 26 to a 16. Well done and get those old clothes on eBay soon so you can treat yourself

Hi I am still reading although not much kettle belling ! You have inspired me to pick it up again. I do love it and it does or rather did keep me toned. Sinead6uk, I have always done them with rest days in between and as you get fitter the aching gets less.

Dear mother This is my holiday too. I didn't fancy any dinner and chose to have a bag of popcorn instead. Not the sweet variety but some salted. Why you interfered and said you liked cheese and onion... Then made me go large... Then wondered why I didn't want to eat it... If you knew me at all...

Hi all, its been a while. Moved house and settling into my new life. Tonight was the first night of swinging in over a month. I bet I ache in the morning. Been keeping up with the running but have definately missed my swinging. Off on holiday in a couple of days but am determined to get into a...

Well done sofartogo. I bet you feel great now.

Hi all, am still lurking but haven't done any swinging this week. I am going to do 20 mins now. Reading your posts has motivated me.

Thanks for the link. Will check it out

Am off to Vegas at Easter. Any tips on where to go and things to do etc?

Well done on the 20 min run. It's a great feeling. I did the c25k last year and still try to do one run a week. I have found it hard over winter as it's dark in morning and dark when I get home. Can't wait for spring and I shall do more.

Hi picklednut I haven't got any DVDs and have devised my own routine which so far has kept me in trim. I just did some research and posted my ideas in this thread. I got some helpful suggestions from kron and others too. Does anyone have suggestions for some thigh work?

Hi to everyone I am back swinging again and slowly getting back to healthy eating although I still have some chocs and Christmas cake left which keeps calling my name. I put on half a stone over the festive period so need to get my motivation back.

I have been away for Christmas and will be away for the new year but wanted to wish all the swingers a happy and fun filled time. Sue those results are amazing - well done. I have given my daughter my 5kg bell and a DVD and keep telling her stories from here. The bells really do work. Will...

What a fab n s v. Congratulations on your engagement

Well done on the losses Joanne. They are really good.

Hi everyone Its been a while since I posted but I thought I would update. I only run once a week for 2 miles due to dark evenings etc and so have been trying to do my kettlebell exercises 3 times a week for 24 mins a time. I have my own routine. I haven't lost weight but definitely gained...

Mine was my doc weighing me. Walking to his pc and apologising and asking to weigh me again. Wow he said you have lost loads of weight in a year :-)

Good luck with it. I loved it and still run now as it does get addictive.

Thanks for those suggestions.. Will look up how to do them.

Can anyone suggest some good moves for toning thighs? I am still doing my own routines.

Well done everyone. I have been following but not posting. Problems at home with breaking up with partner.. Sigh. I did finally get a 7.5kg bell. Wow I can really feel the ache of the workout that I just did. It was the first one with it.Now I just have to keep up with you all

Really hope you get the interview. Fingers crossed xxx

Susie, how much was the kettlebell at tesco?

And to my cold

Donzy those photos are great. Well done on your achievements. I haven't posted lately but am still following you all and you all keep me inspired to keep swinging. I still haven't got a bigger bell so do need to get that sorted.

Yes I am still here too following everyones progress. Kettlebell exercise has definitely grown on me. I love making my own routines and have incorporated some of the moves you suggested kron. Any suggestions for targeting thighs?

Well done Jenny that's great and well done to everyone else who lost/sts.

Good luck and it really does work.

Thanks for the info. Will check out Argos.

Will look out for 7.5 bell. My 5kg was the bargain Argos one. My workout still leaves me sweaty but I do feel that some moves are less challenging. Perhaps I will try mixing the weights in my workout.

You can def see a difference in the pics. I know it works too. I have been doing my own swinging and tried on a pair of size 8 trousers. They fit. I was too shocked to buy them but I can feel another shopping trip coming if I keep it up. I baked today, a lovely fresh cream sponge cake :-) but...

Wow 25.5 miles is fantastic and for charity too. Well done. My NSv was getting into size 8 trousers. Never ever been there before :-)

Home made burgers with extra lean mince, veg or salad on side and SW chips. I also love celariac chips and sweet potato. Chilli with carrots and celery thrown in. Veg rice- veg of choice. Curry meat and veg Stir fry with lots of veg Baked fish with pepper topping Bolognaise with added...

Well everyone who lost this week

Thanks chickadee, I will try some of those moves.

Wow thanks so much for the information. I will write a slightly diff routine down to try tomorrow. If I don't write it down I forget which move I am supposed to do next ha ha. What are in the cardio exercises that are talked about on here?

Yes that's my swing and press. I would like to target thighs, bingo wings and stomach. I have no idea which muscle groups each exercise specifically works except that when finished, I know that I have had a good 20 mins workout and although I don't ache I do sweat. Thanks for your comments.

This is one of my current workouts. Each move is done for 60 secs with a 15 sec rest between each rep and I do the routine twice. Any advice, suggestions are most welcome. 2 handed swing Left swing and press Right swing and press Squats Left suitcase lift Right suitcase lift Figure of 8 Left...

My trainers rubbed when I got them and it disnt get better. the manufacturer sent me a new model as they said they shouldn't rub.

Sorry to hear about your holiday. Like Kron suggests, perhaps a late deal can be found somewhere else. I did my post earlier as I had woken up. I hate it when that happens as it takes ages to go back to sleep. I will post a routine later but apologies if not everything has the right name.

I had a great time hill walking. This year I have been at my fittest ever. I have written several routines down in a book and use a kettlebell timer app on my phone so I know when to rest and do the next set of reps. All of your comments about the particular moves are really helpful as I...

Perhaps I should make more for dinner so I can take it with me. I have been having various salads but am getting bored of them.

I tried a wheat free version and they were awful. They didn't rise, texture was fine when warm buy when cold they were hard and horrid. :-(

I did my first kb workout after a few weeks away and I found it challenging again. I have enjoyed reading and catching up with all your successes.

Good luck for next week. What lunches do you take as I could do with some ideas?

Well done on the loss. I loved your post about fitness.

Slimjim I do hope your neck gets sorted quickly. It's really frustrating when things like that get in the way of running. Shirleen, sounds like you are doing well. The lungs and legs soon start working together. I dont run very quickly now even though I now run 3 times a week It does get...

Sorry for misreading but can't wait to see effects of kettlebells and SW.

You can def see the toning power of the kettlebell. Well done. I don't have the kettleworx DVDs but am doing my own sessions each day. I also have done the c25k and have continued running since. I couldn't run to the bus stop before and now I miss it if I don't do it. I don't know what I will...

Snap. I didn't get weighed either as I chickened out and now I will be away. Well done for all the losses this week

Thanks. Will go get some :-)

Loved the pizza idea and the fruit custards. Which sweetener do you use? I am not keen in the idea of aspartame so wondered if all sweeteners had this in them.

My wraps were a success but I did need to add water when making the batter.

Well done. I am sure you will be fine maintaining

Well done. Great loss

I am going to have a go tomorrow. Beans are soaking.

Slimming world is the only diet I have done and have lost 3 stone from march to July. I am now maintaining. It fits into my lifestyle, I can eat out,drunk alcohol, no measuring and choose how much and what to eat every day so I would recommend it.

Size 10 - well done :-)

I did still eat them but was strict with portion size but still satisfying my appetite with loads of super free foods.

Hi kerryarron Sometimes the weight loss slows down but keep at it. Cutting out drinking lots of coke is a healthy choice so if you get some limit what you have. Have you posted a food diary? Perhaps someone can give you some pointers. For example I follow SW extra easy and am into the 9s...

Well done Claire on getting 2 awards.

I downloaded the iPhone rep timer and had a go at my own routine that lasted for 20mins with small rests in-between. Wow did it make me sweat. I am still perfecting technique but getting there.

Arrhh sort pressed wrong button. I have been on holiday and had half a pound loss tonight so very happy. Finding maintaining a tricky game.

Well done everyone. I haven't been o weigh

It's fantastic. I couldn't run before I started and now I run 2-3 times a week and have also done 10k. It has really helped me tone up all over and it's a little bit of "me" time. There is a long thread about it which I think is in the teams section.

I am back from holiday but visiting family. I have been reading the thread. Wow you have all been busy. I can't wait to get my kb out when I get home

Doesnt it feel great getting the next size and finding things are loose? I think for me with my weight its finding a weight that I can maintain and feel healthy at. I am trying to maintain but it's not easy as I really don't want to slip back into old habits.

I am off on holiday today. My mantra will be " make good food choices" but I will have fun and any weight I gain will soon come off. I will try not to just think I can eat everything because I am away. I am off for a run before I go

I am away on my hols tomorrow. I will miss the kbs. Let's hope I don't binge too much. This thread really motivates me, thanks everyone. I will be back and look forward to reading about all your good work.

Well done on getting back on track. I had loads of chocolate and some biscuits the other day and felt horrible later. Perhaps it is the sugar. Having said that I did it again today. Getting back to being good tomorrow.

Yes I would agree. Todayi have just been having one sugar fix after another, biscuits, sweets, chocolate. I must try hard to get back in track tomorrow.

Well done- week 4 is good. I think I may need to practice doing the moves as the reps on the iron core DVD are short. I will practice several with repeated reps in order to learn the moves more quickly. I don't get any ache at all so hope I am doing it right. It does make me sweat though.

Wow 10kg. Let us know how you get on

I am just loving the workout. I am focussing on getting my technique right too.

Did the first workout and wow. My hands hurt a little from the bell but I presume they will harden

Started level 2 and I am finding the twisty plank things hard too

Well done maximus. That's an amazing achievement and 7 lb in one week so close to target is great. I agree that body magic is the way forward and this site has been a great motivator for me.

Yes from amazon and I got an email saying been dispatched. I mist take some measurements. Feel excited about starting.

Well done everyone. I lost 2 1/2lbs, got my 3 stone award and reached target.

Lost 2 1/2lbs. Reached target an got my 3 stone award and I am just into the 9s. I am so happy. Now I just have to maintain but I hope I have learned lots on my journey so won't pile it back on.

Well done Tom that's a fantastic loss. You must be so pleased. Well done everyone else. I lost 2 1/2lbs which took me to target and my 3 stone award. I am so very happy.

I bought the Sarah lurie DVD to get me going. The other one was an america import and i wasnt sure it would work on my dvd player. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can get a week in before my holiday.

Well done. I get weighed tonight. The last bit of the 10 s has been so slow for me

That's a really good speed. Well done

Going for a walk then day 7 of level 1. Think I may move up to level 2 tomorrow or is it better to do the full10 days of each level?

Day 5level 1 and it made me sweat. I had a peak at level 2 but not sure I need to go there yet as level 1 is putting me through my paces.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001GIJRP4/ref=mp_s_a_2?qid=1310419650&sr=8-2 It's the bootcamp DVD.

Yeas kron I think you have been an inspiration to us all. I am just going to start slowly getting technique done. The Angie millar DVD (thinks thats what she is called but it was early this morning when I was looking) seems to have had good reviews. I am tempted with that one. I will find the...

Wow those reps sure gave me a good work out. Need to work on technique I think and I found the windmill hard to co ordinate. Thanks so much for taking time helping.

Hi kron just read the post from 4 days ago where you gave a few suggestions so will try those

£15 is prob the max I could spend. I want to trim and tone rather than build big muscle. Ironman sounds rather fierce. I have found a couple of videos on YouTube to try some techniques but I think getting a DVD will keep me motivated rather than me just creating my own work outs. I will try some...

I have reserved a 5 kg kettlebell from Argos but not sure which DVD to buy. I don't want to spend lots because I have just spent loads on a new wardrobe for my hols in 2 weeks and also because at this stage I am not sure I will get into it. I run about 3 times a week and have started the 30 day...

I think I might join in

Well done and I bet you look fab in it.

Day 3 of 1st level and I can really feel different muscles ache. I have been running for exercise but this DVD works lots of muscle groups. Feeling good but a bit sore

I need to go buy more work clothes.

This may seem like a silly question but when do you stop paying at SW? Is it when you actually hit target and then stay within 3 lbs or just when you get to within 3lbs of your target?

Well done. I am finding it harder to shift the last few pounds.

Day 1 of the shred done and I thought it was good. 20 mins means I can fit it into my daily life.

1/2lb off for me. Well done everyone

1/2lb for me but inspired by the fantastic losses that you are all posting.

I have just ordered the DVD. Have you noticed good results for toning?

Well done. Club 10 is a great milestone.

Glad to have found this thread. 2lbs to target and I am apprehensive about maintaining.

Good luck shazzabir for Sunday. The run times you mentioned are good. Am impressed.

Well done biggysmalls. It is a great achievement. People were telling me to stop the weight loss a stone ago but I wasn't losing weight dramatically but the running toned alot up and def changed my shape. I managed 10k in just over an hour last week but my knees didn't like it so I need to...

6 people told me how great I look and one said your face is "chiselled" meaning not round and fat. What a fab friday.

3lb off for me and so happy. Just 2.5 lb to go to target. I am so pleased and can't believe it.

Well done woohoo

I bought my first pair or size 10 black skinny jeans in the sale.

Well done everyone and some great losses.11/2lbs and I got my 2 1/2 stone award. Am really pleased.

11/2lbs and I got my 2 1/2 stone award. Am really pleased. Well done everyone.

Yes I loved it. At work when I get comments about weightloss I tell people all about it. A few have been motivated to try it.

I bought a nike plus sportband. I love seeing how far, fast etc I have run.

That's really fab. Well done.

Well done for completing week 4. It gets addictive. :-)

Has anyone been to Rhodes town and have suggestions about places to visit, eat etc?

2lb for me this week. Just half a pound to go to get my 2 1/2 stone award. Well done to all who maintained/lost and let's hope we all have a good week on plan next week. I am finding it harder and harder but the thought of my hols spurs me on.

Happy birthday col jack

Oh Hannah I had a go at running fast and then jogging. It made me work hard and was harder than I thought

Yes that's a great idea Hannah. Let us know how you get on.

I just had chocolate too. I shouldn't keep it in the house. I didn't eat all of it though :-)

Yes it's good to let your hair down on holiday. 2 weeks all inclusive sounds ace. Was it good. I haven't been to menorca.

Glad you are enjoying the job. I must start carrying a water bottle.

Only 1/2lb this week. The 9's seem to be a long way off today. Just had a mahusive dinner so perhaps a little further off. :-)

1/2lb off for me and I was quite good. Congrats to everyone who lost.

Well done everyone today. Still got mine to go and my scales say sts but I will wait and see.

I had a tweaky bit at the top of my thigh, then my knee hurt. I tried to run two days consecutively and my legs didn't like it. I am back to running every other day and touch wood all seemed ok today although I was careful not to push myself too hard. Slow and steady today.

Still here and running. Don't seem to be able to get past the 4 mile mark but I am getting faster.

I hope you have a great day at work today. Well done in the weightloss.

Well done that's a fantastic time and a good amount of money raised. :-)

Good luck with the race for life. Let us know how it went

I fit into size 12 again. Now I need to have a wardrobe clearout

4lb for me. My biggest loss to date. Think I will set a target weight next time I go.

Well done and how do you make scan bran cake? I am intrigued.

Yes I would agree with the advice given. Move on to the next run

I didn't have a slice of pizza when it was left on the side. I was told at work to go buy new clothes as everything looked to big.

Could you imagine the weigh in. How many certificates would you get? Lol

Gemini do you go out early to run? I guess it's hot out there now. It's been cold and wet here. I have been shower dodging.

Thanks for posting the link dewinter. I can recommend asics and nimbus. They are really comfy if you have a neutral gait. I would go and get analysed. I can also say that asics customer service are fab too ( long story) I have just ordered a Nike plus so will try to keep a log of what I am...

Thanks. Am only just in the 10s and would like to get just into the 9 s. I am wondering when it will all slow down. Hopefully not until I am just into the 9s

Well done charmel. I tried to get my partner out but it didn't work. Gemini I think i may try the asics training plan and the longer runs are at weekend. I tried improving time etc. The only thing that's seems strange is that it is less mileage to begin with. I keep thinking about getting a...

41lbs .... Oh that made me giggle.

I will take a look at the book. Thanks

I got into the 10s this week and my 2 stone award. Woohooo

I am finally into the 10s and so pleased.

Well done everyone. 2 1/lb this week and my 2 stone award and into the 10s for the first time in years.

Well done to everyone this week. Gemini I hope the weather is good for you tomorrow. I have been trying to improve my running times since finishing but I am just running at the same speed. I need something to drive my fitness so may take a look at the app for 10k.

I hope your knees feel better soon and you can get back out. Some days I love it more than others. I run before work so sometimes it's hard to drag myself out of bed. I think I need the motivation of another training schedule.

Yes it was hard in the beginning and after every run I felt amazed that I had done it. Are you doing the nhs training plan?

It's on the nhs site and its called couch 2 5k and using it I have had no injury and I havent struggled. It has been challenging but I have had faith in it and it works. quite a few of us on here have or are competing it. It is very motivational and builds up strength and stamina. Before I...

Well done dewinter.

I have just completed the nhs couch to 5 k. It's a series of podcasts and I loved it. Could be the trainers giving you a problem. Make sure you get fitted properly and get a gait analysis. Let me know how you get on

Glad you trusted your instincts biggysmalls. I run off the beaten track and it's what got me into walking. I really don't like running alongside roads. I go out really early and I do feel safe then. I need to make my run less boring so I am going to see what mix I can put on my mp3 to keep me...

I lost 1lb but was hoping for a little more. Just 2 lb s to get to the 10's.

Lost 1lb this week. I am close to the 10s I want to be there soon

1lb off this week. 2 1/2lb to go get my 2 stone sticky. I want it but will have to keep at it.

Well done everyone this week. Week 5 d:3 is ok really. You will be fine, just have a steady pace. Good luck. It's my last run tomorrow wk9 d3. I will keep up with the running though. I just need to organise my own music. My first goal will be to increase my pace i think. Some days I seem to...

Wow what a fantastic weekend you have all had. 8 weeks and running races. Well done. 20 mins none stop is good. Doesn't it feel good :-) The c2 5k training really does work.

Yes go for it. Just run at a steady pace.

Well done everyone. HP and sofartogo, I think you are both great doing races. Could you pm me which Zumba class too as I am in the same area. Sazzi, I agree with all you said. This forum as well as class has been so motivational. Bobsled week 4 well done. Keep on running. Has anyone tried a...

Well I went out and did it. Week 9 d1. The sun was shining and it was nice and quiet. Shower and back to bed for a lie in :-)

On a budget and going away with my 2 children , one 21 and the other 18. I like hot but I don't want to go to a place where I might 'lose' the 18 yr old in the bars. We gave to go at end of July as it's the only time we can all get off work. I would like Crete but daughter is thinking Corfu or...

I am in the 11s and nearing the 10s. I can't wait to be in the 10s. I have 3 pesky lbs to shift to get into the 10s.

Yes keep going. It can be disheartening but keep up with it. How long have you been doing SW ?

Well done sleepy. It took a while before I started enjoying them. Mrsmc, it's hard getting up early but worth it. Having said that I am lying in bed at the mo trying to motivate myself up and out. :-)

Gemini I am thinking same thing. Week 9 starts on Saturday for me. I haven't got a plan about how to keep on track. I thought I might repeat week 9 to push myself to running the full 5 k distance in 30 mins. I am nearly there though so it is only a mini challenge. I haven't got the time to...

Fat bridesmaid well done. The 9s wow. Can i ask, did you lose weight every week? Was there a point where your weight loss has slowed down?

2lbs for me too. Edging near the 10s. Just 3 to go. Haven't been there for 7 years so am excited :-)

Good luck with week 2.

Well done mrsmc on doing the first run. I found those runs hard and was counting the seconds until I could walk. At first the weight losses were not much just a pound a week but I have toned my body so much. My oh commented in how I seem to be losing the cellulite from my thighs. I try and get...

Yes Gemini, every day is a victory. You seem to be doing a similar pace to me. I just did week 7 day 3 and definitely ran faster and further. I would ideally like to be able to run the full 5k by the end but I am getting fitter and that's the whole point of it I guess. I have started using a...

Good point Mandy about the podcasts. I think finding my own motivational music might be the way forward. Do you still run every other day? Well done on completing a 10k run. I think I may have to work on increasing my speed to get nearer to running 5 k but all in good time. I know my...

Your not too fatto run and giving up smoking maybe the way forward but I found when I gave up I felt worse before I felt better( if that makes sense). well done for getting out and running. I will look up the apps and see what they are like. I found running for 25 mins ok but I do run very...

Yes no one interested at home really and it's good to share successes and problems on here. Couch 2 10k... Now there is a thought..... Will have to look into it. I do like the podcasts and found it really good being told when to run and walk. Now it's great to know when I am half way through a...

Yes I have started running in the morning before work. It's hard at first but I do feel good afterwards. W7 D2 for me. This group has definitely helped to keep me going. Am now even beginning to wonder what next after the podcasts finish.

Week 7 run 1 and this mornings run has proved tonneau that week 6 run 3 wasn't just luck. I am away on a weekend break and that just made me want to run more. Running along the river was lovely and I saw lots if others doing the same. Let's hope the running has offset all the calories I have...

What diet are you on Tami? Sometimes progress is slow

Another loss for me. The running is toning me up and I have had good comments at work. It's good when someone else notices. I have yet to set a target weight so will need to think about that one.

Good advice and it worked. Thanks for the kind words they helped me to stay super good and at weigh in I had lost 2 1/2 lbs. I got my club 10 and just couldnf believe it. I had way too many syns this weekend but it was mainly low in carbs. Gin and vodka have very little. :-) I think the running...

Well done sofartogo. 20 mins is a great achievement. Gemini I too get fed up about not losing much each week despite working hard. I am enjoying cooking from scratch but not everyone in my family likes all my ingredients. I find it hard when I don't plan ahead and I have to work hard to keep...

I got the nimbus. I just fitted into the mend category. Not been there before :-). I really hope the trainers help with the pain

Thanks for that. I was hoping running would speed up the weight loss but as a side effect it makes me feel good after each run and I am toning. It's not having a huge effect on the weight loss though. Most weeks I lose a 1lb and one or two I have lost 3. I am trying really hard to stick to the...

3 days away and despite trying to be good the scales say I havent been. Wednesday is weigh in and I am fed up

Sorry to hear about your pain but I hope the trainers help. I went to a specialist shop for the fitting but didn't get them there as remembered a shop had a sale on and got the recommended pair. The chap in the first shop was a little condescending and obvoiusly thought i was too overweight to...

I bought some asics trainers today. They feel really comfy and I got them specially fitted. I was surprised to find I needed a size bigger than my normal show size. Even at half a size my toes were against the ends. Let's hope they give me many miles of running.

Well done clareel for week 5 run 3. I have just done this too and now I have to pinch myself to believe I have just run for a full 20 mins. Will check out the trainers thanks for all comments. So far have managed in my walking trainers but think I should get something designed for running.

Thanks for the tip about the trainers, will check them out.

CAn I join. I weighed in at 11st 11lb today. I haven't been in the 11s for many years. Hoping to keep in the 11s after a birthday weekend away. I am going to try hard to choose my food well and and not overdo the alcohol.

Yes I would agree. Don't look ahead. Take each run at a time. I did peak ahead and felt that I couldn't do it. The hardest part is making the commitment, you can always do a run again if you need to. I feel so much fitter and have more energy.

Thanks for having me. I got weighed this evening and now need to join the 11s. I can't remember the last time I weighed in the 11s. Let's hope I don't put it all back on for my birthday weekend away this week.

I just wear trainers t shirt and baggy bottoms. I am on week 5 run 2 and I feel so pleased that I have achieved everything so far. I haven't been able to run before. I am thinking about getting some running trainers but no idea what to look for. Any suggestions?

3 1/2lb this week. I am so pleased. I tried to make sure I had my syns this week and it seems to have worked. The challenge will be to keep it off as am away this weekend for my birthday and eating out all weekend.

Well done. Week 4 does get harder but don't you feel great afterwards?

That's a great loss. Well done.

Week 5 starts on Wednesday for me. Am a little scared but I managed week 4. I tweaked my ankle today so will need to watch that.

Slimming world. It has made me eat much more healthier and I do feel I have more energy.

Week 4 run 1 completed. It seemed to be a step up and I went very slowly but I did it and feel so good

I haven't tried scan bran. Perhaps it might help? Is it classed as free?

I saw this thread last week and didn't join because I thought I would make it into the 11s this week but I am 12 and a half pounds and didn't make it. Thought I would say hi and hope to be out of it next week. My weight loss has really slowed down the last few weeks, just 1lb a week despite not...

I weigh on a wednesday and lost 1 1/2lbs this week again. Seems very slow and I have tried to up the exercise.

I am doing the NHS one couch to 5 k and have managed it so far. Run 2 of week 3 tomorrow and it is getting more challenging but I do feel so good afterwards. I am also doing SW and have been losing just 1 1/2 to 2lbs per week but feel much healthier.

end of week 2 I completed week 2 today and for someone who thought they couldn't run...I am amazed. Roll on week 3. Reading the messages on here has really inspired me.

Wow, I was feeling down yesterday but found this forum and felt motivated. I have just started week 2.
