That sounds perfect spinning so you can imagine that when I was 10st I was a little chubby at my short height Blush I'd like to shift a couple more pounds then i'll just go on maintenence mode!

I fecking hate that last strength circuit in Shred L2!
Spinning, hope you enjoy Bob's Ripped Core, I like it a lot, just wish I had an hour more often to do it.
Okeydoke, re: dress sizes, shops vary so much! I'm 5'4", about 9-9.5 stone (I don't weigh myself anymore), and size 10 trousers in Next and size 14 in H&M, just an example. Don't get too hung up on the sizes, you're doing a great thing, trying to lose a bit in a sensible way.

Okydoke, your wedding is great incentive to lose weight. I think the dresses must come up very small as that's one big jump in size from 14 to 20!!

Kick, well done great results. Do you want to lose anymore? I'm 5f 8" and 10stone which is about right for my frame. Got Bobs ripped core coming today so I'll deffo be doing something later today!!!

OkyDoke · 29/05/2014 08:29

Haven't managed Day 2 yet, alarm didn't go off this morning!

Blogilates is a Youtube based fitness programme, the instructor Cassey, uploads a video a week - I think there are hundreds to choose from. She makes up a monthly fitness plan, which you can do or just choose which ever videos you like. All free!

Tea detox also started.

Well done, knotty! I can't even do the push ups yet.

knottyhair · 29/05/2014 05:48

Great work on here as usual - fab results Idkick! Welcome OkyDoke, congratulations on the wedding - you can do it! What is Blogilates??
Back to it after a few days away. Ripped L3 yesterday and about to do Shred L2, my least favourite level of anything! But yesterday I managed to do the rock & roll thingies without using my hands, first time since I've managed it since having DD 17 months ago Smile.

Kettlebells done halfheartedly.

OkyDoke · 28/05/2014 15:13

Hello! I just started 30DS this morning, on Level 1, started it numerous times before but never got very far. I'm going to attempt 5 times a week, but I do jog once a week and I do Blogilates a couple of time a week. Blogilates may have to make way for Jillian.

My motivation? Getting married next August, tried on my first wedding dress yesterday and it was a 20. A SIZE 20. For reference I am normally a 14, so was expecting 16 as I assumed sizing would be small. But not a 20.

So, it's Jillian to the rescue really. Combining with Slimming World and I'm starting a tea detox too.

Grin I remember thinking my hip bone was a scary lump!

StuntNun · 28/05/2014 10:11

I love that feeling Idkick! When you're in the shower and you go 'what's that lump?' and it turns out it's your calf or your bicep! Blush

I can see a lot more muscle than I used to have, I was 10st in January and i'm now 8.10, i'm short though at 5ft 2

StuntNun · 28/05/2014 08:18

It makes you wonder how much muscle you have gained, the fat loss is likely to be significantly more than 9 lb if your fitness has improved.

Yes, I use MFP to count my calories

StuntNun · 28/05/2014 06:21

Very impressive Idkick are you dieting as well? I like the sound of Bob Harper's kettlebell workouts but I'm going to stick with what I have for now until I've mastered the press up and the sit up.

Yay Stunt you've had a lot on your plate! Figuratively Grin I Bob Harpered today and had a fitness test at circuits class, I'm 9 pounds down from April 1st but more importantly I've improved my fitness/rep amount Smile

30DS L1D33 done after eight days off. BlushBlushBlush

StuntNun · 27/05/2014 07:17

Spinning I think most grow out of dairy, egg, soya problems. DS3 has been egg free since last summer and he definitely reacted less at his last challenge. I'm hoping he'll be okay with it on his next challenge in October. The recent discovery about soya is a pain as it seems to be in everything. Breads are all but impossible to find but you also get soya in random things like lemon/lime jelly and dark chocolate.

I gave it to him Blush luckily I had piriton, i'll be paranoid now! My other two were intolerant to Egg whites and Tomato's but they grew out of it so i'm hopeful

spinningirl10 · 27/05/2014 05:31

Goodness Stunt and Kick, it must be scary to see your child have a reaction to something they've eaten! Could they grow out of the intolerance for certain things or will it be with them for life? You must be constantly checking food labels.

StuntNun · 26/05/2014 22:40

Eek. How did you find out about the brazils? My biggest worry at the moment is that there are yet more things that DS3 is reacting to.

IdkickJilliansAss · 26/05/2014 20:43

Intolerant to dairy (hives etc) but appears allergic to Brazils, his throat seemed to close up a causing his coice to go all croaky and he was covered in blotches, took him to GP who said now he is sensitised next time could be worse. Egg whites make his eyes swell up and itch, he used to have excema but not anymore

OP posts:
StuntNun · 26/05/2014 20:15

Is your DS allergic or intolerant Idkick? Intolerances are a pain but I imagine allergies are downright scary.

StuntNun · 26/05/2014 20:14

Actually my 11yo slept until nearly noon today! I couldn't believe it. The downside was it was too late to give him his Ritalin as it's a long lasting dose so he has been twitchy and annoying all day. My mum said next time give him his medicine at the usual time and let him go back to sleep! D'oh why didn't I think of that?

IdkickJilliansAss · 26/05/2014 20:09

Thats really freaky, my 3rd child (DS) is 17 months and allergic to egg whites and dairy plus last week he threw a big allergy to Brazil nuts! I feel your pain, sleepless nights drain most of your energy and whats left goes on the other kids when they wake at the crack of dawn

OP posts:
StuntNun · 26/05/2014 19:49

18 months Idkick. It turns out that in addition to the egg and dairy intolerances we knew about, he is also soya intolerant and we had Chinese food last Sunday which must have been full of soya, I'm assuming soy sauce was the culprit. He's been off soya since last Monday and the change is amazing: he's sleeping better, his mood is improved and his eczema is clearing up. Today he sat and watched TV with his brother while I put out the washing! This would never have been achievable before. Anyway DH is back tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to JM again. I might fall into a bowl of berry crumble tonight once the kids are all in bed.
