Im starting the 30 day shred on Monday and ive seen alot of you have orderd it or are also starting monday.

Was wondering if it was a good idea to measure ourselfs in the top of our thighs, tummy, hips and whatever else in inchs to see how much we loose from where, also adding our height and weight aswell

we could put our measurements on before we start then update it after our 30 day shred?

I will measure myself over the weekend and update this thread in time for monday incase anyones intrested, or would just like to hear the results

Done day 5 Smile. Found it tiring today maybe because i haven't done the normal 2 mile walk to and from school this morning! (mile there, mile back!)

MittzyBittzyTeenyWeeny · 05/03/2011 20:26

Hi, I have just shredded it was good with no interruptions Smile Am only going to do a couple of days on level 1 as didn't find it as challenging as I needed.

Will see how it goes Hmm...

Tortoise · 05/03/2011 20:49

You must be pretty fit then mittzy.

MittzyBittzyTeenyWeeny · 05/03/2011 20:56

A little Tortoise, I go to a Martial Arts Gym for a workout and they do quite a few of the exercises but it is only once a week and I seem to lose my drive and motivation after a couple of days (it's my age ye know Grin)

anon80 · 06/03/2011 15:19

Day 7 done!!!

I feel great, although tired. Bought myself alovly denim skirt today as a well done- size 8!!!!! thats not due to weight loss, the skirts must just be generous, but so what, and eights an eight right! lol

Back again! (I decided to go for it, in spite of the c-section worries.) My DVD arrived late yesterday, just as we were about to go out for a massive meal Blush so I have started today. It wasn't too bad at all compared to what I was expecting, although I was huffing and puffing away like a corpulent pig. I'll take my measurements and add them in a bit if that is ok, and I'm not too late to join?

Envy of your size 8 skirt Anon!

anon80 · 06/03/2011 17:04

Thanks pixie, im a size 10, but a very very wobbly one, i was thinking of going and buying lots of the skirt, just so i could say ive filled my shopping basket up with size 8 clothes lol.

OP posts:
Tortoise · 06/03/2011 18:23

Only time i will get today is 10pm! I will see how i feel. I'm not worried if i miss out a day here and there. It's not like i am going to see magical results quickly because of the flab lol!

Well done Anon. I have never been and never will be a size 8 or 10 lol!

anon80 · 06/03/2011 18:37

Thank you all

January 2010 i was a size 14-16 and 11 stone 3lb, its took a while to get here, but im just still flabby in all the wrong places, and it looks terrible on me because im only 5ft, so i figure i came this far might aswell continue lol this is the hardest part thou, those last bits are just soooo stubborn.

Was at work all day yesterday then went straight to a party so didn't get chance to shred and also been at work today so not done it yet. Hoping to get a chanc this evening but not 100% sure. I am completely shattered as it is - really late night followed by early morning! Dreading tomorrow if i don't get chance today!
I really missed it yesterady though - didn't feel right all day, but not feeling that today so possibly losing what i've gained so far IYSWIM.

flier · 06/03/2011 19:31

my toes is still pretty sore, not walkng properly yet, but I think I will give it a go again tomorrow. Trouble is, I was sore most of the week from the little of the dvd I did manage on Monday Blush

Tortoise · 06/03/2011 19:37

flier That is because you didn't re-stretch the muscles on the following days by doing the workout Smile. Hopefully your toe isn't going to stop you this week Smile.

SilveryMoon · 06/03/2011 20:10

This might be a really stupid question, but.....................I need to do something, a woman at work asked me on friday if i was pregnant Shock Blush!
So, do I need to diet as wrll, because not sure if I'm strong enough for that. Maybe i could cut down on the chocolate?

anon80 · 06/03/2011 20:24

Hahaha Silvery, sorry to laugh, this happened to me once before pmsl, died at the time but now just think its so funny, she was sooo embaressed when I said I wasn't hahahaha

Just cut the chocolate down alittle, once you start doing the shred and seeing the results, youll prob want to cut the chocolate out anyway as youll want more results even quicker.

SilveryMoon · 06/03/2011 20:28

hhhhmmmmmm, maybe.
I am quite fat and really should try to tackle it.
So i order the dvd, buy some 3lb dumbbells and that's it? How long does a days work-out last (I don't have much free time)?

Tortoise · 06/03/2011 21:03

Silverymoon The DVD lasts about 20 mins. Short enough to fit into the day (says she who hasn't done it today!)

Lavitabellissima · 06/03/2011 21:03

20 mins
I've found fitting the workouts in easy but had a blow out weekend in terms of eating & drinking, but I'm definitely feeling better. I'm going to do another couple of days on level 1 and move to level 2 on Weds.
AnonThat's fab weight loss, good for you!

Right, just ordered the dvd, should be here wednesday (dvd has black cover is that the right one?)
I looked in tesco this morning for weights, could only see 1kg or 2kg, not 1.5.
I'm really out of shape and never exercise so should I go for 2kg or start with 1?

Dammit I'm going to have to take myself out of the shred routine for a bit. I've managed to strain my thigh quite badly - not by shredding, oh no.. It was that old classic of falling over one of DS's cars. My mum is a GP and has said that I should rest it for at least 3-4 days. Gutted as I was really on a roll! :(

SilveryMoon · 07/03/2011 08:05

And another question.....if you do 10 days at each level, what happens after 30 days? Do you carry on doing level 3 forever or do you just stop?

I also need to get a tape measure just to record how fat I am!! Lol

Tsil · 07/03/2011 08:08

Hi all

I ordered the DVD last night hopefully will be here this week. Once I get DVD will do measurements but don't have scales so can't do my weight. Going on holiday in 9 weeks so need all help I can get!

Anon well done on the weight loss can I ask how you did it? Was it on your own or with weightwatchers and the like?
