Still doing SS+ but think I'll jump to step 3 this from Saturday, then have a few days break before starting WW. Have been so good all week but the scales haven't moved at all, and I have WI on Sat morning!! Glad things going well for you! I ordered the 30 day shred DVD, so will give it a go when it arrives! You could even just go walking in the bright evenings-we went out last night for a big walk & even though I was stiff after, it felt good!! x

Running is really great and a great calorie burner. Have you tried the Couch To 5k programme. I started this a couple of years ago, when I was over 15stone and very unfit, basically doing no exercise. It's an 8 or 9 week course that gets you off the couch and running around 5k (obviously
). You run 3 times a week, making sure to take a rest day in between. The first week you do a 5 minute warm up followed by a 60 second run, followed by a 90 second walk, then you alternate the 60s run and the 90s walk another 7 times, then end with a 5 minute cool down walk.The first time I went out I only managed 4 of the 60s runs, and I looked like I was going to die! But 2 days later I went out again and I managed an extra 60s run, and the next time another. Think I ended up doing week 1 for 2 or 3 weeks but eventually I got there. Last year I ran 10k races, in fact I pretty much used to run 3 10k runs a week. Each time I burned 800-900 calories!!! Didn't put any weight on and I ate whatever I liked
Was training for a 1/2 marathon when I fell just before Christmas last year (it was a very, very icy day) and have been off with a bad injury all this year - moral of the story is don't run when it's icy
BUT I loved it - true, not at the beginning but eventually I really did. I would go out in any weather (hence the running on ice) and one of the reasons was because it kept my weight in gear.
I decided that I should lose weight whilst I'm not able to much exercise (I definitely couldn't run on SS alone) so that when I'm fit to go back, hopefully in the next few months, I'll be even fitter and healthier - and faster!
I've got an C25k (Couch to 5k) app on my phone that allows me to play my own music but fades in and out and tells you when to walk and when to run - it is brilliant.

Might have to try that app myself!! Would love to be able to run!!

You did very well first week - well done. Hey..we are all vlcd'ers regardless off which one. All the same anyway, so you post where you want to, ok. I loved doing LL tbh. I still praise it but can't afford it now. One tip from me is - make sure you do RTM, to the letter! I cheated week 6 and that is when I fell off what had been a wagon full of success and glory previously. RTM is the key, abstinence is easy bit x

I used the app by Felt Tip Inc called Couch to 5k but there is one called Ease into 5k by Bluefin Software LLC that is also ok.
