Hi, I am on week 2 run 1. I enjoyed week1 run 3. Anyone want to join. My motivations are weight loss, mental health and improve my fitness. I'm a mum of 2 little ones and have had depression before, am feeling on the verge of it again. I'm also the heaviest I've been in my life.

Yeah, me, please!

I started it a while ago and stopped when I was a bit unwell. Haven't restarted and feel a bit shit about it, some accountability would be good!

I got to week 6 I think? It was a 20 minute run anyway.

It really does work, I was able to run for 20 mins, and I struggled with week 1 run 1.

I'll probably start at about wk 4 if that's ok? I bought a treadmill so I don't have to worry about people seeing me all red faced and blotchy and asking if I'm really sure I'm ok... 😅

I will be on the treadmill, I love a treadmill as I broke my ankle a few years ago stepping off a curb and worry I will fall over if I run outside. I’m hoping to get fit enough that I will feel more confident by the time I finish C25k

Sorry, it’s weight loss injections.

What is WLI? My DH is a keen runner. I could probably bring my eldest along with me sometimes....

Me!!! I’ve been stopping and starting this for a while and need to just get moving. I’m going to start tomorrow.

I’ve lost weight using WLI but have hit a stall. Hopefully this will help me get things moving again.

well done on making time for this with 2 little ones
