That's good PlanetVenus , always a good idea to be prepared!

Gilbertwasthebestcat · 30/12/2012 19:58

Arghhh wrong thread. Ignore me.

Gadgetty thing. The Fitbit. Anyone tried one? I am tempted. Its essentially a posh pedometer but it seems liked the analysis and feedback data visualisation is supposed to be quite motivating.

(on phone so dont know if link will work)

iwantanafternoonnap · 30/12/2012 20:03

Oh I am so in. I need to lose a stone before feb as I can't fit into my ski wear and I need to lose 3 stone by 13th March (a long shot I know!)

152 cm and 12.9 stone I am a weeble and non of my clothes fit. Going to be hard as I work 12.5 hour shifts including nights and have a 3 year old.

So fed up of wearing tracksuits and not being able to see my foof to was it though.

Annianni · 30/12/2012 20:06

I've just ordered it from amazon, so i'll join in when it arrives.

Oh god... what have I done?

ihatethecold · 30/12/2012 20:07

Ok I'm in. I need some motivation.
I did it during the summer hols and it really made a diffence
I will also use my ripped in 30 DVD as I prefer it to 30 day shred.
Are we doing measurements?

I'm not going to do weight or measurements if that's ok. I'm TTCing, so this will be part of following the Marilyn Glenville 'get pregnant faster' plan. It also involves no alcohol, no sugar or unrefined carbs no fun so am hoping for a bit of weight loss, if not a pregnancy.

Something I did last time was to make up a playlist on my ipod and, after a couple of sessions to get the hang of it, I muted JM (that felt good in itself!) and played my own music while shredding...made a massive difference to my motivation. Any ideas for tunes to shred to would be greatly appreciated.

ihatethecold · 30/12/2012 20:17

I like it listen to tinie tempeh or Swedish house mafia. Really gets me motivated for the cardio sections.

mynameis · 30/12/2012 20:20

Oh go on then, count me in even though I will ache like hell and be a wuss about it Grin

Aethelfleda · 30/12/2012 20:31

Um, can I join in? Come new year, I'm on the next bit of a three part weight loss thingy to get myself to post-baby fitness (ahem: the baby is now a year old!) . I'm five foot eight. Part one is done (15 stone 6 down to 14 stone). Next part involves exercise and diet to get myself from 14 stone to 12 stone 7. The final push if I ever make it (!) will be 12 stone 7 down to 11 stone something.
I have the shred but only made it ten days in last time before I got the lurgy and gave up. I'll start Tuesday.....

poachedeggs · 30/12/2012 20:34

I'm lying on the sofa eating oatcakes with brie and redcurrant jelly, Sensations peanuts and drinking cider. DH is making a banoffee pie. I'm in no hurry for Tuesday Grin

Worley · 30/12/2012 20:35

mellowcat.. that's a good idea..
going to make a playlist now I think.

FriedSprout · 30/12/2012 20:37

I'm in please, can do anything for about a week, after that I lose interest!

karatekimmi · 30/12/2012 20:45

Hi can I join in too? I've done about 15 days of shred at te start of December and then got waylaid!!!
I'll start on the 1st as I'm boring not going out or staying up on NYE but I'm back at work on the 4th of feb after maternity leave so would like to fit back into my work clothes!

flapinko · 30/12/2012 20:45

I'm in. Starting Wednesday (if recovered from cough/cold thing by then!)

ledkr · 30/12/2012 20:47

Ill join but may not make Tuesday as I'm recovering from noro virus and supposed to be going racing.

angelinterceptor · 30/12/2012 21:25

Yes I want in- tried This last year but have never got to level 2 yet.

Have chest infection but will try to start Wednesday.

You lot have me in stitches - I think this might actually be fun (apart from the actual working out, which I'm anticipating will be tough for an achey, unfit crone such as myself).

And sausage I'm not sure JM can do much about your age or your hirsuteness Grin

wem · 30/12/2012 21:27

playlist is a brilliant idea! No idea what to put on it but Tinie Tempah sounds about right :)

Ihatethecold I have downloaded some Swedish house mafia and can't wait to get started, bring it on...

ihatethecold · 31/12/2012 10:56

Mellowcat. im impressed!

just remember to put Jillian in the DVD player at the same time!

ReinDearPrudence · 31/12/2012 11:09

I'm tempted, but I can't keep up with the Swedish House Mafia chat - far too modern! Grin.

Have done the shred once before on a MN thread and got into stage 2, but then gave up Sad. I might even dust off my old spreadsheet.

Am also joining local gym today, mainly for DS's benefit as he wants to swim, so I'll be doing that too.
