Don't worry, we all felt the same way when we started. You'll get there, just take the jogging nice and slow x

You will be grand. I was exactly the same but when i finished i actually could have done it again but didnt lol. As aswethinkweiz says just dont make my mistake of trying to go too fast. I slowed down and love it now x x

Yeah that was my mistake at first too and learned ya need to take it real slow at first. Speed is something that comes second when starting off I think. That's excellent work, well done! You're doing great, keep it up xXx

I'm the exact same! I would've said no way could I run a 5k! But now I can, it's brill! 1 and a half stone is excellent, I've lost 3st total (very slowly I'll add) but can't seem to shift this last 10lb, argh! X

3st is great thats how much i would of lost when im at target! only just relaised that this is the weight waters c25k and not the s/w one but nevermid! lol Iv lost mine since the begginning of january so quite slowly compared to most going on a last minute holiday to mauritius on may 6th so want to be nearing the 12's by then hopefully! i did my mum today aswell! they always say the that few pounds are stubborn! alot of people said that they have drunk loads more water to help flush it out! i hvae to admit it works though i always drink over a litre a day, but one week i drunk 3 litres a day! for 7 days, i lost 4.5 pounds that week! althought i think it was all the running to the toilet rather than the flushing out lol

Sure it doesn't matter, I'm doing CC at the moment not WW anyway it's all the one, we can still support each other.
I think that's quite fast hon. I've been on and off diets for 2 years & have only managed the 3st so far because of my blips (holidays, bad break ups etc.). I think you've done fantastically. I'm aiming for -50lbs total which will bring me to 10st 7lb & then I'll see how I feel!
That's right actually, I just realized today that I'm definitely not drinking enough so I need to up that & cut back on junk. I never drink very much and have to tell myself to do it!! Today has been good so far although I'm not running at the moment due to an injury. Hoping by friday to be back out though!

Really I thought it was quite slow! :/ lol! I have 27 lbs to target and then just going to see after that I think I might want to lose another stone or 2! So probably about the sane as you yeah I find I drink more at work! I have about 5 cups of fruit tea and then a about a litre of sugar free cordial! Lol but can't drink water on it's own it's to boring! I keep getting a nagging pain in my lower leg when I run ATM but I'm to scared to stop incase I don't start again which is what I would normally do lol x

I'm the slowest loser of weight ever lol!!
I'm the same, can't drink water. Just tastes yuck so I drink some squash, tea and coffee. Sometimes sugar free lemonades!
If you're hurting then rest it a couple days (at least) and then try again. I fully intend to try on friday! Are you running on the road? That's how I hurt my leg. Easier to run on the treadmill but I don't have one x

I love vimto and lemonade! My absolute fave! Was drink 14 litres a week lol a 2lite bottle everyday but managed to reduce this to 4l a week! Which is more reasonable! I'm actually running on a field! I take my bf's mums dog lol so gives her a chance to stretch her legs! But it was so muddy today! I think I might try Tarmac and leave her on the lead as grass is really un even and I take a few tumbles sometimes! And then I can take her on a field after maybe lol x

In ireland we call all fizzy drinks "lemonade" by default lol. Had coke zero last night with low fat micro popcorn... Niiiiice! Well done on reducing your fizzy intake!! X
Oh I've never run in a field because I'd fall on me face lol. I was running on the road but I hurt my leg from doing that because the road is uneven too. Need a nice flat run!
