Hi everyone... Well I am determined to do this with your support I hope
I am 40years young and have recently lost 24lbs doing weight watchers but I am trying to lose the last 5lbs with difficulty!!!!
I dont do any excercise which I know is not good.
My partner is a very keen runner and would love for us to run together in time.
I am going to go and do my first run this afternoon
Wish me luck
Any tips and tricks and your begginer stories would be appreciated

Hi and congratulations on your weight loss! I am starting a diet change to los weight and this is a great app to start running with. I'm just starting week 5 and I'm amazed that I'm able to run! First thing is make sure you have comfortable running shoes!! I think most people on here will tell you to take is slowly and forget about speed, that can be dealt with later. It really doesnt matter how slow you are going Also I've learnt that it is okay to repeat a week if the previous run wasn't comfortable. This is my second time round after a gap of 3 or so months but in that time I did continue to run the first week over and over and then continued onto week 2 and took it from there. I'm really interested to hear how your first run went. Best wishes

Hi Angela, thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and most of all reply. I really do appreciate your advice and words of encouragement I believe it really does help and motivates you when you most need it.....
Well I went for my second run this evening after work and have to say it seem easier..... which 1, I was suprised but also really chuffed.... Next run scheduled for Thursday and think I am almost looking forward to it
You sound as if you are a lady on a mission again good for you. I know its hard to get going and keep going but If my reply helps then thats great.
I wish you luck and would love to hear how you are doing?
Good luck
