Id love to, need to shape up. BUT I did 10 days in November and had to stop due to seriously injuring my neck. But scared to try again.

ornellaia · 31/12/2012 11:14

I'm in too, was planning to start on Tuesday anyway - I might actually do it if I've publicly said I will Grin

NeitherShreddedNorSmug · 31/12/2012 22:30

I have started early as I know I'll be having a few days off in the middle, and am supposed to be running tomorrow. Huffed and puffed my way through level 1.

countingdown · 31/12/2012 23:33

I'm in. So when is everyone starting, tomorrow or Wednesday?

mellowcat · 01/01/2013 11:14

Day one and I didn't phone it in!

Good luck and happy new year everyone.

mynameis · 01/01/2013 11:18

I'm starting tomo. Not looking forward to getting the tape measure out first Sad

ihatethecold · 01/01/2013 11:42

I'm starting wed.
Are we putting measurements on here or just keeping a record for ourselves? Blush

LivinItSmall · 01/01/2013 11:48

Can I join in too? Need some extra motivation to actually get started (for about the fifth time I think - have never made it past level 2 Blush)
Won't be starting til Wednesday though. No chance I'm doing it with DP in the house!!

orangina · 01/01/2013 11:53

I always sign in to these things, do 2 days and then there is a REALLY GOOD REASON why I can't do it again.

(Ahem).

But I mean it this time.

Are we starting this evening? Count me in, and hopefully I will post again on this thread! Am not posting stats or anything though!

Day 3 done :) Although hard, it did seem marginally easier that the first time. To help with the fitness I am also quitting alcohol and chocolate for January as well. Masochist, me?

bigTillyMincePie · 01/01/2013 12:35

I am going to give it a go, I think...

Did it this time last year to get fit for skiing. Just have to get my head around getting up earlier and doing it before everyone else appears downstairs...

Tomorrow, then.

Gulp

pregnantpause · 01/01/2013 13:32

I'm in. my inclination is to say I'll wait until my measuring tape and scale arrives, but that's really another excuse isn't it? so I'll start today and measure tomorrowGrin good luck girls

drmelons · 01/01/2013 13:40

Go on then, have just put on jeans for the first time since mid dec and it was quite shocking! Am also turning 40 this year and know that I will be so depressed if I am this size and this unfit then!

Will order tonight so will be a few days late- so not let me use this as an excuse!!

JustAnotherLlama · 01/01/2013 13:45

Can I join too? I can't start until tomorrow though as my copy is at home... I might need a gentle shove reminder.

MrsMangoGingerbreadhouse · 01/01/2013 13:59

I really really should, I'm just struggling trying to figure out when to fit it in as DD has dropped her last nap now, and I won't want to do it after dinner. Hmm, I could try setting my alarm to get up 45 mins earlier to shred and shower I will have a think if there's a better way I can fit it in without risking me turning the alarm of and rolling over to go back to sleep! Hmm

chewingguminmyhair · 01/01/2013 14:03

Do you have to do it every day?

Bicnod · 01/01/2013 17:16

I'm starting tomorrow, can barely stand up today so no way I could shred...

gallicgirl · 01/01/2013 17:21

I was thinking of joining in with peeps but does this involve, you know, moving around quickly and maybe sweating a bit?

Can't I just eat less and give up booze?

RyleDup · 01/01/2013 17:22

Right I've got the DVD player working, so I'm ready to start the shred tomorrow.

Is it hard? (not actually played the dvd yet)

gallicgirl · 01/01/2013 17:24

Have just googled.

Bicnod · 01/01/2013 17:29

Yes it's hard. I could barely walk downstairs the first time I did it (in the summer).

Hopefully this thread will force me to stick with it.

Mini eeek.

pregnantpause · 01/01/2013 20:04

doneSmile whilst I'm tired and confident I'm going to hurt tomorrow, I feel really good about myself for doing itGrin

Done it :). Didn't think I was gunna, as despite being in bed by 10.30 on NYE I still felt rubbish this morning thanks to the dcs up in the night.

Feeling good about keeping it up.

Aethelfleda · 01/01/2013 20:19

mango, I have a similar issue with time, I've got 3 DCs, the girls are 7 and 5 so don't nap, and the 12 month old is an anti-napper! So I either eat early (5.30) or late (8pm) and do the aerobics at 7.30 when they are all in bed.

matilda if you can get cheap 0.8- 1.2 kilo weights from a charity shop or carboot/ebay they will do fine, my SIL used cans of baked beans, though weights are a bit more comfortable. If you have a TK macx nearby they usually have small weights for about a fiver.

Day 1 completed! Ooh, I ache. Really hoping this doesnt set off an old back niggle, I had left sided backache last year and it hampered my exercising in a most annoying fashion.
