    happy birthday spudulous lady :D

    Am wearing a pair of cropped trousers that I bought off ebay and have never worn. I am pretty sure I bought them for my holiday last October, took them with me and never wore them because they felt a bit tight. They were 'discovered' last week when I was sifting through the wardrobe and they now fit :D They even have a button and zip on - I don't normally buy trousers with that as they never do up, whatever style or size I seem to buy! Ah well, 1 piece of clothing down, only probably another 100 pieces that don't currently fit me to go.....
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Of course you can join in Pania:)

    Just let me know your target and I will add you to the spreadsheet. I tend to do things in 10 week stints to give us smaller targets too.

    Anyone can join at any time though.

    Glad to hear that you are thinking positively and getting back into your exercise. :T

    Morning all,

    I have finished 30 straight days of 'The Shred' and I thought I'd post the results for anyone interested in giving it a go..... They are as follows:-

    May 31st 2010 June 30th 2010

    Bust - 38.5" Bust - 37.0"
    Waist - 33.0" Waist - 31.0"
    Hips - 38.5" Hips - 37.0 "
    Belly - 37.0" Belly - 34.0"
    Thigh - 35.0" Thigh - 35.0"
    BMI - 26 BMI - 24
    BFI - 17 BFI - 15
    Age 44 Age 44
    Weight 11 stone 3lb. Weight 10 stone 13lb
    Height 5' 6" Height 5' 6"
    Size 14 Size 12
    Fitness level - good Fitness level - very high

    At the start I found level one very challenging although I regularly go to the gym and am very active. By the end I found the full level 3 manageable and I was barely sweating, which I think is quite remarkable.

    Overall verdict - if you want to lose 4-5 lb of fat, and an inch or two off most parts of your body and get very fit into the bargain then this will do it.

    Best bit of all, I got a wolf whistle yesterday, from one of the fit looking 20 somethings at the workshop where I do the accounts :eek:. That's been a long time coming :rotfl:.

    ...............*Lou Legs it to Asda to get said shred DVD*


    Scrooge that it fantastic, you have dropped a dress size and have really made an impact on your whole body:T

    A wolf whistle does lift your spirits doesnt it;) I got one the other week as I was out walking with OH past a country pup although he didnt seem to notice (I did though:D)


    Unless they were whistling at OH's behind as it is very nice at the moment:rotfl:


    Busy day for me today, work until 2pm then DS2 is having some dental treatment with sedation (extractions) and then I have to go to MrTs to pick up my Tesco direct order. Doubt we will have time to go out for our walk but I will be rushing around alot anyway.

    Have a good day everyone:)

    Thanks Lou,

    I have just got a royal mail parcel sent from DH that really made me laugh.

    I opened it and inside was the cutest blonde barbie doll, complete with pink hot pants, sunglasses and flowery halterneck top :rotfl:.

    Hope DS is not in too much pain after his treatment x.

    Well done on some fabby results scrooge :j

    I have done day 8.....and need to really move onto level 2.....:eek:

    I got to goal at WW yesterday, so my aim now is to tone up those flabby bits and not put the weight back on - hopefully Shred will do both those for me!

    In the meantime I will continue "feeling the fear leave my body" :rotfl:
