    well I know how to post pics but I'm not that brave!! but here's my horrid numbers

    weight 11st 4...bought new scales so using the weight they show or it will look like I've lost more than I really have!
    waist (narrowest bit): 322/81.5cm (I use metric as it's more motivating seeing the numbers go down more quickly!)
    tummy, about an inch below belly button: 37"/94.5cm
    biggest bit round bum: 41.5"/106cm
    top of thighs, below bum 'overhang': 40"/101.5cm
    widest part of right thigh: 24.52/63cm

    but I'm not doing the shred, will be doing zumba and generally trying to eat less so will be going for maybe a slightly less drastic, longer time fix. And I think I've got a little bit more time to play with than some of you with weddings earlier this year

    Good luck everybody!!

    Posting my measurements in public, never thought I'd see the day _pale_

    waist (narrowest part) 29.5
    belly-button 36
    right leg 25
    right arm 11.5

    I'll be giving shred a go when it arrives. Today I did one of the 10 minute solution DVDs (target toning). I've never done all 5 exercises before so I know I'm going to feel it tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

    Don't think I'm brave enough to post pics either - maybe when we're where we want to be we can post before and after - the before won't seem so bad then.
    Starting measurements 1st Jan:
    Weight: 8 stone 1
    Bust:34"
    Waist:28"
    Hips:34"
    Bum:35"
    Thigh:20.5"
    Arm:10.5"
    BMI: 20.8

    I'm 5'2" and a small frame so really should be between 7-7 1/2 stone and my hips an bust used to be 31" before baby number 2 so I'm really hoping they'll go back. I'm still breastfeeding atm [with a few bottles to top him up] so I know this may not happen until my milk goes [which was 7 1/2 months on DS1 - I won't stop until my milk goes I love feeding too much]. At least we can all feel this is the worst it will ever be and it will be awesome to see the changes over time. Good luck all x

    Wow trex, I'd love to have your measurements - you sound like the ideal shape to me. Like ellay, I've just signed up to Zumba classes once a week so will be doing those, trying to eat more healthily (hard when I've got so much chocolate etc from Xmas), and generally walking more too.

    Here are my measurements (don't know my weight as I've not got any scales, but know my trousers are all too tight lol):

    waist (narrowest part) = 30 inches
    waist (around belly button) = 33 inches
    hips = 37.5 inches
    right thigh = 21 inches
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
