Some interesting posts to read through this morning, keep going everyone
Today I completed week three of C25k. Quite apprehensive about Week 4 as I’ll go from 9 to 18 minutes of running which seems a huge jump in two daysI’m determined to keep moving though. Trying to trust the process.. anyone already done this and got any advice for managing the step up?
Agreed, I just couldn't face run 3 in week 5, it's the 1st proper run with no walk in the middle so I skipped to week 6 and did that twice and then at the end of the 2nd week 6 I ran my 5k at parkrun (slowly), it's all about the end goal and tweaking the programme to make sure that you can run 5k whether it be 7 weeks after you started or 12 weeks. Just pace yourself. I used to do my couch to 5k to Costa (about 4k) and have a coffee as a reward.You'll be surprised at how much more you can run than you think! But if it's too much, do not worry or mark it as a 'fail', it just means you need to keep trying it till it starts to feel good. I think one of the best things in C25K is repeating the weeks you're not happy with, because when you do you're elated and that i really did it kicks in!
I think general walking places instead of using the car is underrated. I now question whether I need to drive or could I walk and 9 times out of 10 I can walk.Walking is a secret weapon of mine! Brisk walking is a guaranteed method of fat burning, you only have to ask our Leslie![]()
1200 wouldn’t be your TDEE, never everYea that’s said 1200 was my TDEE! I still am managing 3 good meals a day and a snack and get to 1200 and feel fine so far![]()
Love this tip, thanks for sharing. I’ve just changed mine to the sameHad a good chat with my PT. he’s got me to change mfp macros page to weekly view. It’s gives a nice overview to how much I’ve logged over the week.
Amazing Carrie!!! Well doneWeek 25: -2 lbs
Total: 4 stone!!
Obligatory dance break:
Six months of calorie counting. Walking is still my main exercise. Started lifting weights this week (ow, ow, ow...). One stone to healthy BMI. Aiming for 7 lbs in July, 7 lbs in August.

I started out much bigger, hence the initial quick losses! You are doing fab, your persistence is equally inspiring.Thats amazing huge well done .
Inspiration for us.
Think I'm now in week 12 and still only 10lb lost.
Don't get scales at all varies from 12 9 to 12 12 all in 24 to 48 hours.
I have written off last week and thought I probably gained but managed walk 10k most days and in reality probably ate maintainance calories or close to.
I just wish could have few better weeks where I lose 2lb or 3lb.
3 weeks until we go away.
Amazing! Well doneWeek 25: -2 lbs
