Yeah Nat is an habitual cheater

But I forgive her as I have a total crush on her legs

Oh, I thought thuggery was a nickname for Jillian

Ha ha! As has been said a million times "stupid autocorrect".

Yes, Natalie looks cool during the knee circles so I forgave her but was shocked! I will look out for more, especially as Jillian says "they're so good they don't even cheat!"

I also secret shred and have yelled at OH if he approaches the room. You are brave Never.

Haha I'm a private Shredder as well.

I go around the house telling everyone "I'm off to Shred now ok? OK??"

Which means, come within fifteen feet of that room and you die, ok?

I am thinking of starting this (again). I go to boot camp three times per week but it does tend to focus more on cardio. We do some strength work but I could do more and would like to see some results around my stomach. Noel's photos have really impressed me.

Thanks Noel and InAMinute, going to give it a bash in a minute and see how I get on.

Wow Noel, you have abs! That's really helpful, thanks for posting pics. I have put a pic of myself before the pgs as my desktop photo as a reminder of where I was 18 months ago. I'm not brave enough to put a pic on here but will update my stats at either weekly or 10 day intervals. I have to go to the chemist to weigh myself so it's a little off putting!

And I've actually made my OH feel awful for walking in on me "youcan'tbehereyoucan'tbehereyoucan'tbehear..." until he leaves, I must sound insane.

Hi Needsomehelp, good luck notallit's, I couldn't dream of doing it in the afternoon!

(wow, I can't spell, hm )

I didn't think it was o clock yet Lifes

Although my auto correct insists on beaver, beaver ??

Thanks INeed and lifes hope the photos show that even someone as unfit as me, who can't do all the moves properly can get some results.

I'm going to take the photos off now, because its occurred to me that if someone looks from a different thread, I'm going to seem like some exhibitionist weirdo

You made me giggle my sore stomach "muscles" Iwill. And Noel, "someone as unfit as me", come on! You have enviable hips, what I wouldn't give! I have been looking back over photos prior to 18 months ago. I was a 12 or 10 depending on the cut, people thought I looked like a 10 (and they now are shocked when I tell them my clothes size, I carry it well!) But my point is and I thought I was fat, I was unhappy with my body. Ever since becoming a size 10, about 10 years ago, I've thought I was fat. Now that I struggle to get into a size 14 (and by struggle I mean there has to be major give so it's not really a 14 is it?) and I work to get back down I am vowing to myself that I will appreciate my body when I get back down!

Not a great start...eating steak, half a glass of and about to watch Dr Who on catch up...will have to be a late evening shred to let my tea digest....must ask OH to hide rest of wine so not tempted further...

The only thing that is motivating me tonight is to tell you later that I have doe D1L1....watch this space....

I know what you mean life. A few years ago I lost four stone and was a size 12 for the first time in my adult life. But I didn't really appreciate it or the difference I had made to my body. I still wore fairly shapeless baggy clothes. If I manage it again I will definitely appreciate it more.

L3D9 -done

Hark, is that the end insight ?

Me too, me too !!!

I was a 10/12 and thought I was fat. WTF??

I can't believe it. I thought my bum was HUGE. But it couldn't have been, could it ?!?!

That body was wasted on me, not now though. I would fully appreciate it [wise emoticon]

Woohoo I'm so glad to find a shred thread can I join you all please? I started shredding yesterday Im doing it first thing in the morning while DC are in bed, I want to lose my belly from DC1 and eating junk after I got the hyperemesis under control and thighs which I've always struggled with and which are killinge now! Definitely need more stretches, good luck to everyone just starting and well done to those nearing the end.

D1L1 done! Forgot how evil the lateral raise thingies were...but only 29 days now to go . I will definately look forward to getting onto level 2 to avoid them (fell off shred wagon at L1D9 last time)

I'm here, have weights, did Friday and yesterday on level 1. Need to do today's later now. Think my bra has rubbed a blister under my boob though painful!!

L3D10 done - I've done, I've actually done it!!!!!!

I promise you, if I can do it ANYONE can

Oh Sunny under boob blister must really hurt

YAY iWill Well Done

Ah Iwill, Congratulations!!! And yes, what a shame we didn't enjoy what we had at the time, all this work we're doing deserves our self respect! Are you pleased with your results?

Just off to shred after having been ill and up all night... hoping it'll be ok!

Thank you Noel

I walked the pup, got DD off to activity day, OH to work, bribed DSs with box of Lego and threats of having to help clean/tidy room if they came in. Shut door and just did it!

And survived

D7 L1 had anyone found they go backwards?!? Tonight was hard!!!!! Struggled with ALOT of the moves!!

Maybe cos its a fast day, almost in tears I could barely manage the girls push ups!!!!

Thank you Lifes !!

Not sure if my results are great at the mo, at the tale end of horrid bloated period. Have been drinking lots of water, hope I look better than this tomorrow!!

Hope your Shred went well and you're feeling better

Will post stats for round 2 tomorrow (if bloating has gone)
