There are 30 days in June. Who wants to do the 30 day shred every day this month?

Right, ladies its that time of year one has to get shredded. There are holidays, there are barbecues, there are weddings to attend. One has to look good, and one has to undo any overindulgence of attending said events.

So I will be doing the 30 day shred every day in June, unless extraneous circumstances prevent me, these being:

Loss of life or loss of limb;
Illness involving either puking or high temperature;
Velcro-baby (i.e sick child keeping one up all night or similar shenanigans)

Any other excuses will not be tolerated.

Is anyone else in? You must check in daily to say you've done it and you may post your weight loss or inch loss weekly if you feel inclined. Plus wax lyrical about how shredded you feel and how hard your bottom is and how you can't really lift your arm very well or it shakes like a leaf but it doesn't matter because you can fit into your least mumsy swimsuit.

See you tomorrow!

I didn't see you comment Nan, I was also calling for a roll call in slightly ironic way Grin. I wasn't saying do we NEED a roll call.

dearprudence · 01/06/2011 10:33

Done!

TattyDevine · 01/06/2011 10:34

Ah very good there is much shredding to be heard across the land.

We clearly need a roll call Wink

Off out with DS for the day now, feeling all smug.

GColdtimer · 01/06/2011 10:37

Well done prudence, I am about to start work with my cup of tea feeling equally smug!

verycherry82 · 01/06/2011 10:39

I'm definitely in! I'm going to Lanzarote on June 30th so this will tie in perfectly! I have the dvd and will squeeze it in at some point today.

Let's hope it brings good results! xx

NanAstley · 01/06/2011 10:57

twofalls phew, I thought my irony fell flat Grin

Anyway, just waiting for my mum to come over to help with the girls and I can do today's Shred.

roundthehouses · 01/06/2011 11:18

ApuskiDusky · 01/06/2011 11:36

stopthelights · 01/06/2011 11:53

Count me in, please. Just shredded! This is how I look now Angry - nice shade of tomato. Determined to stick with it this time. I'm not going to 'phone it in Grin

I will join you, I could do with the additional motivation, I have been on level one for 9 days already, but plan to shred for at least the whole of June.

Am yet to do todays though, need to digest cake lunch.

Last time I did it for the full 30 days I noticed a huge difference.

MissBeehiving · 01/06/2011 13:31

I'll join - did The Shred last year and it does work so I know how ossom it is. I need to be bikini ready and lose half a stone by 1st August.

I am also NOT EATING EVER AGAIN although there are 2 Pimms No1 cupcakes that were my fortieth birthday treat (yesterday) which are exempt from that rule

I'll do my stats and post later.

clothaddict · 01/06/2011 13:52

Oh I am so so glad I found this thread. I got the shred last month and did it twice!! But so want to do the 30 days so motivated me to start again. I'll not be able to do it until tonight, but I will, I will, I will....

WhatsWrongWithYou · 01/06/2011 14:10

Can I join? I started level2 on Monday but had to miss yesterday as it left me with a really tight, sore hip and shoulder (have scoliosis). I didn't even find it particularly hard! Confused

Am going to the gym today as the weights usually even me out, then back to shredding.I'll probably alternate between Jillian and gym but am determined to drop these last 10lbs, plus the muffin top which doesn't seem to want to go anywhere.

actiongirl1978 · 01/06/2011 14:20

Me too please! Did it three times last month. Well 2.5 as was interrupted each time by dd 3.3 doing star jumps and insisting on trying out my weights.

Is currently safely stored gathering dust in the kitchen clutter basket and ready for me to begin.

I put it off at lunchtime when DS 1.2 was fast asleep as the socks needed pairing, the floor needed mopping and I needed to catch up on some filing I needed a sit down and a rest after being up since 5.30am.

Hopefully this will give me some motivation!!

LouMou · 01/06/2011 15:43

Done. Didn't phone it in, am on nodding terms with anita, ignoring the other two showoffs

itsababslife · 01/06/2011 15:48

Bloody good idea...sticking it in the machine now....back in 20

itsababslife · 01/06/2011 16:28

All done...damn I wish I could do a press up. Looking forward to that Wine on day 30 Grin

wildstrawberryplace · 01/06/2011 16:29

I'm gonna do this. I have the DVD but it never came out of the cellophane last time I intended to do it Blush

I was thinking of trying to shape up for some events I'm attending in July and this is perfect.

heymammy · 01/06/2011 16:40

Ok ok, count me in. I shredded quite a bit after Christmas but it fell by the wayside as usual Blush. Will do it tonight when dd1 is at brownies.

Can anyone recommend a really effective but short warm up as the one on the dvd is woeful tbh and if i don't warm up properly i won't be able to do consecutive days 'cos my legs just seize up

TattyDevine · 01/06/2011 16:58

Welcome new recruits!

Did my bit today, though it was hard fitting it in. Mum came bearing the most delicious meal and cake. It would have been rude to refuse that now, wouldn't it have? Then I had to let it digest. Then dd2 had a meltdown. Anyway...upshit is that I did it and I can rest till tomorrow.

NanAstley · 01/06/2011 17:11

Upshit??? FFS Blush

I meant upshot. As you were
