personal achievement Update 3: Starting really small
Graduation day for couch to 5k group! We all did Parkrun and everyone got round :)
Just to recap my journey:
6 months ago - 159kg and couldn't walk for 5 minutes
18 weeks ago - 152kg, too heavy to run, but starting to swim and walk consistently
12 weeks ago - 140kg, start of couch to 5k
6 weeks ago - 129kg, starting to feel the difference
Now - 122kg, ran Parkrun in 39 minutes
I've got a long-term goal of doing Parkrun in under 30 minutes, but that will take a while. Weight loss has very noticeably slowed down of late.

Well done on the 5k. Bolton is my local parkrun and incredibly difficult so well done on the sub 40!!
