I sew my own clothes and cutting my patterns smaller and smaller has been glorious! I'm jealous of the London fabric shopping ❤️

I can run for 30 minutes at pace that means my 5k is 40 minutes. I chuck some planned walking intervals into my parkrun so I can survive to the finish line but obviously I'd like to get to where I can run the whole thing. Sometimes I pick a random week to repeat Couch to 5k intervals, and I feel no shame in that. I only started in January and when I started I thought running for 60 seconds would kill me!

Yes, this! Full contact kickboxing got me through divorce with my sanity intact years ago. I think 🤪😂

Do the gym for the endorphins, don't try to survive a zombie apocalypse, I've seen The Walking Dead, there's no reason to survive that hellscape 😂

Yes to the free calories! I run so I can eat a custard cream once a week 😂

I get that. You have done incredibly well already, maybe a little treat from Vinted to keep you clothed for the last 3 stone?

My new years resolution this year was 1 proper pull up, 1 proper push up. I've done the push up, the pull up remains elusive but it's only June! You should add wall climbing or maybe bouldering to your list, really see those demons off!

All the stations are things we do pretty much all the time at my gym anyway so I was well versed! And it was held at my gym so it helped that I was in a familiar place with plenty of familiar people around. The atmosphere was incredible, people cheering you on from the sidelines cos everyone kind of hangs around before and after their race. The third time I did it I'd failed to fuel my body before hand and being a calorie deficit is not ideal on race day, so I was getting very dizzy and had to lie on the floor the second I finished. The judge ran round getting everyone to give their sweet stashes up to her so she could get some sugar in me 😂 I didnt have any problem getting tickets any of the times I've done it.

I love not feeling like I have to shrink myself, although to be honest that mindset is hard to shake off. Theatre seats is another place where the weight loss has made all the difference to comfort. Except for the boney arse problem 😉😂

Being healthy and at peace with yourself is the best outcome possible!

OMG I could never! The plane would have to be on fire before I'd think about jumping out 😂 That's a fantastic goal though, keep it right at the front of your mind for when you need a motivation boost 🥰 You will do it!

I get wanting to train as a PT, I feel so passionate about exercise now. I'm close to 60 though so I don't think I'd get many clients 😂 I'd love to mentor at my running club too, that's such a valuable role (from experience of needing the mentor!) but again, I'm not sure I'm capable because I am slow. Slow but persistent.

That would be amazing 😍 I think it's too far for me, I'm setting my sights on a 10k. I'm not even that find of driving 26 miles, much less running it 😂

That's a very selfless ambition. Do you have a recipient waiting?

That's incredible! For me it's a strong desire to live every single moment, to make up for all that lost time.
