My sister is getting married in October and I need to lose like, two stone, in order not to look twice the size of her. I've been trying to really cut down on what I eat but it's not getting me anywhere fast to be honest. I have PCOS and it's no excuse I know but I'm really struggling to stay the right side of a size 12.

So I need to up the exercise basically. I walk a lot and go I a class once a week but it's just not enough. So today I decided to run and I was rubbish at it quite frankly!! I forced myself to and gave myself goals, alternating running and walking but my god. My legs felts so wobbly and weak!

Please someone tell me a story where they were awful at running and now can do miles.

It does get easier. I started a local running group on January. I honestly couldn't have run to the end of my street without dying inside and out. Now I've completed a couple of 5ks in great times and I'm properly putting in the effort for 10ks. If nothing else I've got a lot fitter. My only issue is still the running clothes...no one looks good in them Wink

Sasmac funny enough that's the conclusion I've come to!! I've found a class I enjoy that's cardio so doing that twice a week and then sticking to walking. I can't cope with doing things I hate!!
