    Hypno, a wonderful achievement and one that would make me estatic!

    Fridays - Bless them!

    I have a pair of Principle jeans (14) which fit. Thats more about the size of their jeans than the size of me!

    However, my beloved levi's are size 12 and I love them and I will get into them, just another 15lbs to go!

    I also have a pair of 'boyfriend' jeans size 14 from Topshop - (boyfriend = very loose fitting) RMC Boyfriend jeans = normal fit and not loose fit LMAO!!! I love them because I have bigger thighs and they don't 'cling'
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    hi hypno, glad you are hanging in there, sounds like you have packed more into the last couple of days than i can manage in an hour :)

    also thanks for the tip on the jeans I will check them out. I am 5 foot tall with long legs and also find the short lengths are ankle flapping after a few washes! :mad:

    I normally buy Oasis jeans and get them taken up a little as they are ok for curvy/pear shape girls too. but nice to know there are other options, I would never have thought about Fatface :T

    well attempted day one of the shred ... lasted the warm up the first strengthening and 3/4 the cardio then i got too pooped ... will go back and start again though as i can now see why she earns her reputation and i actually enjoyed it ... have to admit i did have to stretchy myself alot though as there was alot of upper body in it and my shoulder is more knackered than i thought ... even doing the cross over hurt like a biatch the star jumps agony the press ups ... could barely do them ... my shoulder is on fire now but i did enjoy it and i can see how it works ...

    Oh dear! Good to have another perspective on it though! :rotfl: Sounds like it works - although must be very hard if it knackered you before you got to the end of 20 minutes! :eek: Will you be doing tomorrow as well??? :eek:

    Difficult choice! I might have given a different answer if I'd not just read Eltan's experience - but I'd say ignore it and enjoy your hols! :)

    El, bit by bit you will get further on with the DVD - P and I found it difficult in the early stages......it was quite a struggle (and we even had the woman deliver our Indian takeaway half way through - now THERE's dedication for you, as we decided to leave the takeaway until we had finished the workout!!!) but it does get easier. I couldn't do a press up to start with but can now do them, not necessarily with ease, but certainly quite acceptably!

    Just listen to your body re the injuries and I am sure you will be fine :D

    savingmore - you will enjoy shred - so take it with you to enhance your holiday even more :j:j:j
