Day 2 done feel a bit wobbley! i was not achey from yest but i can feel it now i have shredded (im prob gonna feel like road kill tomorrow!).

Feeling very motivated by you all! I have also recorded my inches and will re do on sat to see if there has been any change.

Im off now for a carb free breakfast, happy shredding.

Just finished day 9. I was getting a little bored with the same workout so i tried level 3.

It is quite strange because it feels very different in ways I didn't expect. The cardio was in fact much easier. You use he weights while doing it so it adds to the strengh (sounds hard but the moves are much more controlled) Unlike when I tried level 2 a few days ago which was much harder when it came to the cardio.

I have decided to change the level daily from now on as they all seem have different effects.

mummyshreddingnora · 28/11/2010 11:01

Wow mickey.... Level 3! You'll have to let us know if you can walk tomorrow!

MickyLee · 28/11/2010 11:09

nora well done you too on your weight loss. When are you going to tell your success to your mum? Grin

redderthanred · 28/11/2010 11:16

Disapointing 2lb weight loss resulted in measurement taking after 6 days.
The results are shocking. A total loss of 8.5 inches!!!! 1/2 inch off each arm. 2.5 inches off bust. 2 inches of waist. 2 off hips. 1/2 inch off each thigh. FUCKING HELL!!!

redderthanred · 28/11/2010 11:17

How is that even possible??? thats more than an inch a day.

amazing.

redderthanred · 28/11/2010 11:19

and that wasnt breathing in, or pilling the tape measure tight.

did it about 6 times because i didnt believe it.

mummyshreddingnora · 28/11/2010 11:19

Well done! The weight will start coming off soon.. Muscle weighs more than fat so you will have actually lost more than 2lb of fat!

Not me with the mum issues Wink

MickyLee · 28/11/2010 11:21

redder Thats amazing!!!!! wow, you must feel so proud, and so you should be.
8.5 inches in 6 days!!!!

Think you are the biggest loser of the week Grin

redderthanred · 28/11/2010 11:22

it was me with the mum issue. Dont worry ive already called her.
Not sure she believes me!!!!!

tbh, i wouldnt believe her either.
8.5 inches in 6 days.

MickyLee · 28/11/2010 11:22

nora sorry.. must research old posts :)

redderthanred · 28/11/2010 11:23

i had to sit down for about 10 mins because i couldnt believe it.

and then kept taking them.

thats a dress size in 6 days.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still got 18lbs to lose though.

mummyshreddingnora · 28/11/2010 11:30

ok Redder - you have inspired me to measure again - 5 days completed (today will be day 6 later!)

in the last 2 days :
Legs - 1"
Hips - 1.5"
Waist - sts
Bust - 0.5"
Arms - 0.5"

so my totals - in less than a week are:

Legs - 1.5" (thats per leg!)
Hips - 3" [shock}
Waist - 0.5"
Bust - 1"
Arms - 1" (per arm!)

so thats... well ... blinking lots isn't it!!! Grin

mummyshreddingnora · 28/11/2010 11:31

am starting to wonder if I should have maybe ordered a dress size smaller for my work xmas do!

redderthanred · 28/11/2010 11:37

fucking hell. that is seriously amazing.
Seriously.

I dont think i can wrap my head around it really.

How is it possible to have lost that many inches? whats happened to them?

Is it fat burned off? or muscles tightening or what?? i have no idea.

mummyshreddingnora · 28/11/2010 11:38

I know!!!! My abs particularly were shot after my second c-section... at least partially its those tightening... but also it will be fat burned too - I can definitely see a bit of a difference!

Slobbadan · 28/11/2010 11:39

We done on you inch loser's!! Im V jealous and inspired to do my measurements on sat.

This is my mesurements this week

Bust = 43 inch
Waist = 42 inch
Hips = 47 inch

Hope to be thinner next week.

PS using a metal tape measure as dont have a fabric one.

notyummy · 28/11/2010 11:43

Amazing inch loss ladies - I think it is 'shocking' your bodies into tightening, toning and burning fat. Imagine what you are going to look like by the end!

mummyshreddingnora · 28/11/2010 11:43

slobbadan - this is sad and hopefully not offensive! But when I first read your measurements I was miffed as I realised your hips are smaller than mine... but then I remembered my new measurements! Grin

now to aim for that waistline!

Sugarmuppet · 28/11/2010 12:34

Me Too! Me Too! Me Too!

Waist 32" now 30"
Hips 40" now 39"
Top Legs 23" now 22"
Arms 13" now 11"

Shock Shock Shock

redderthanred · 28/11/2010 12:36

wooohoooooo.

bloody hell. well done.

its quite amazing.

MickyLee · 28/11/2010 12:47

Well done everyone Grin

Slobbadan · 28/11/2010 13:11

Mummyshreddingnora, i was miffed at first but now im more determined to stick to it so i can be the one with the thin hips! Grin

Really need proper tapemeasure.

Slobbadan · 28/11/2010 13:24

OK in the interest of being fair to myself i have re-measured using a dressing gown rope and measuring it againts the tape measure so here are the results (also included arms as everyone else is!)

Bust = 42.5 in
Waist = 43.5 in
Hips = 45 in
Arms = 15 in
Legs = 26in

So im my my bust is 0.5in less than i though, waist is 1.5 Bigger than i thought and Hips are 2 inches smaller than i thought, and concludes that my stomach is huge and i really need to drop those inches!!!!!!

Come on girls keep on shredding!

Sugarmuppet · 28/11/2010 13:27

Forgot to say that my bust measurement went up an inch from 36 to 37. Blush hows that then????

Well done everyone else Grin
