Back on the wagon - attempt no 652. Five pounds off, good start. But - I'm doing no exercise and I want to start now. I've been having back problems and my osteopath has recommended yoga to stretch the muscles and couch to 5k to build my fitness. He said to follow it as closely as I can while listening to my body for aches/pains. He did the same thing and dropped six stone, but it took him 12 weeks to get to the full run rather than 8. I'm a complete beginner to running.
So as I warble on, what I'm asking is did the couch to 5k affect your weight loss negatively, with a gain or maintain for a while? I lost two and a half stone the last time, but no dress sizes til I started working out a trainer. Then I put up half a stone but finally dropped a dress size. I would like to think that it would give the weight loss a boost, being mainly cardio rather than weight bearing. But I don't want to see the scales going all over the shop either.
Any experiences anyone?
Thanks
