tomhardyismydh · 29/12/2010 20:30

picc · 29/12/2010 20:44

no :) no new thread, cos this one makes me giggle, and i think i might need that!!

hark, you are completely right. i currently have comedy breasts due to bf (can't believe i used to be embarassed at them being too small.....) so i have actually invested in a decent sports bra.

much needed :)

belindarose · 29/12/2010 21:45

Can't find my sports bra, but it was from before pregnancy and bf so a new one is probably in order. MIL gave me a size 8 dress for Christmas. My boobs just laughed at it... Hope she's got the receipt.

May postpone my shredding till after 15th Jan as we're going away on 7th. Depends when DVD arrives. If soon then I should start or will find more reasons not to do it. It sounds like I'll be glad of the break...

Did someone mention pelvic floors before? Not sure that I've actually got one any more.

HarkTheDragonAngelsSing · 29/12/2010 23:28

Ooh cant wait to start now

I will be away for abit from the 4th as im moving but i will be doing it and popping in as much as possible at the library, so keep me going girls if it hurts ill need it!

mothernature · 29/12/2010 23:28

Just checking up to see who else is going to do this shred thingy, I promised myself I would start on the 1st of January. I will also be dropping calories from 2000 to 1500 for the first few weeks, I have lost weight before just doing calorie counting and walking 6 miles a day, it all came back on within a few months of stoppping walking due to dark mornings and nights, this has to be it this time or else... Hmm

weedle · 30/12/2010 00:17

Ooh special new thread thanks for sorting it out - didn't even see there was a weightloss area!

I have my delivery estimate as 10th - 15th January, hoping it'll come soon so I don't chicken out (lazy mare emoticon)

DH has already sniffed at the fact its only 20 mins, apparently you can't work out properly and warm up/ stretch down etc in that time Hmm

HarkTheDragonAngelsSing · 30/12/2010 03:48

Pah hah ha weedle if the reviews on here are anything to go by make him do it once see if he thinks its easy then

peaky123 · 30/12/2010 05:22

Ive got my dvd, some weights, comedy bf boobs and a rubbish pelvic floor, can i join please?? aiming to start on 1st jan 20011 too.

malovitt · 30/12/2010 09:02

What size weights does everyone have?

1kg? 1.5kg?

TubbyDuffs · 30/12/2010 11:03

I will deffo buy the mat and weights tomorrow, haven't had a chance today, shops are manic and just a bit of grocery shopping with the three kids has done me in!

I will get out to the mall before the rush tomorrow and plan on starting on the 1st too (depending on hangover!)

Thanks for starting the thread, might be the kick up the arse I need!

weedle · 30/12/2010 15:40

Hark - I may wait until I can do it without dying confidently then challenge him.

Problem is he's a black belt in TKD... although he's not had chance to train properly since we've moved so that may work in my favour!

moonstorm · 30/12/2010 19:25

I'm going to start this week. I didn't realise it is a MN trend!

I am bf-ing so hope this is ok... (I am not going to limit my calorie count) So the main aim is to get fitter/ tone up. Losing weight will be a bonus, but don't want it to be at the expense of milk...

moonstorm · 30/12/2010 19:29

start this next week

glitterkitty · 30/12/2010 19:45

Mine arrived yesterday, so started then. today was day 2. I can hardly walk down the stairs and I cetainly cant squat Blush am SO unfit...

vnmum · 30/12/2010 19:49

hi, can i join please? I have done the shred before but only done about 10days before giving up for a cold or chest infection or something then never getting going again.

I can say though that even in those few 10 days, it does work and you can see a difference. It is a killer but it is only 20mins and gillian is great. I actually want some of her other dvd's but some are only region 1 and my player isn't mutiregion.

I am doing weight watchers aswell and have lost 3 stone since july/aug 2009 but i need to tone up drastically and i still have about 1 to 1 1/2 stone left to lose.

I am hoping to start shredding on the 2nd jan if i can get some form of organisation going as i also want to start running again and do other fitness dvd's. 2011 is the year i get the body i want Smile

MyBrilliantCareer · 30/12/2010 21:28

I'm in!!

I'm going to start on Jan 2. I did 7 days early in December and I'm hoping that the agony of the first 3 days won't need to be repeated Blush....

2011 is my year to finally get the body I want too (turning 40!) vnmum - congratulations on what you've already done!!

omnietyinstables · 30/12/2010 22:31

I'm doing this on and off - is that enough to join? Grin Am actually enjoying it now and not phoning it in at all - think this means I actually should move upto level 2.

MyBrilliantCareer · 30/12/2010 22:33

weedle you can't - I take longer to stretch at the end but for me the warmup is fine (I have reached Day 7 some time way back in December and then was hungover Blush)

InkyStamp · 30/12/2010 22:56

I will join you too! Then I can feel like I am not alone in my pain!! Grin Hopefully we will all be here on the night of the first day grumbling together! I did ONE day last time and my stomach hurt the next day...Blush

LadyOfTheFlowers · 30/12/2010 22:59

Marking my place please - ordered 30 day shred and another with a title about fat and metabolism I do believe.

Amazon says should arrive by the 7th.

MyBrilliantCareer · 30/12/2010 22:59

I couldn't walk for 3. Couldn't even turn over in bed

butterscotch · 30/12/2010 23:08

Marking place i ordered my copy before Chrimbo with intention of starting in ny! I have bout 4 stone to! Not sure when in day i'll get to do it but looking forward to getting stuck in!

cheekytinker · 31/12/2010 12:05

I have ordered mine but reading the description to my husband made us both nervous, oh well I can only get very sweaty and pass out, might work.

weedle · 31/12/2010 13:15

MBC I'll make sure I do extra stretches at the end then...

"I couldn't walk for 3. Couldn't even turn over in bed"

Please tell me this was when you hadn't stretched?!?!
