    , why is it such an effort to do it but then you feel fab afterwards??

    It's a fantastic feeling :) I particularly enjoy the bath or shower straight after - feel all clean and virtuous :A

    I did my first pole class for over 2 months tonight. I'm really going to ache tomorrow.

    Do we have our first weigh-in tomorrow? I don't feel like I've lost anything :(

    Hi Benben,

    Just reporting in for weigh in!! Ive lost 1lb this week :T!!

    I have been really good entering all my food onto my fitness pal and ive done the wii fit and xtrainer this week. I never have big losses so I feel good about this.

    Also a pair of trousers im desperate to fit in to for DH's birthday are getting easier to fasten so I know im doing something right :T.

    Keep up the hard work everyone :D xx

    I feel a bit guilty admitting that I've lost 4lb this week :o although since finding this out this morning I've had loads of biscuits and would have had a mince pie until I found it was rock solid :cool: so have probably put 2lb back on :D

    2 lb loss for me, which considering I haven't started properly yet - is a good start! Should start shredding again really - as that did seem to change my body shape massively last time and after all its only 28 days.......

    Well done for all of you that have started shredding already :T

    That is brilliant! and I have just done 'The Shred' :j (thats me doing jumping jacks!) - decided to bite the bullet instead of making excuses not to start. The trick will be keeping it up, but hopefully once I can see a difference it will help encourage me, and knowing you girlies are all at it aswell helps :beer:

    OMG - I've just ordered this from Amaz*n! I probably have about a stone to lose - haven't dared go near the scales recently. Mind you, I think I will only do it during the week when DH and my two boys aren't around! Problem is that I like my food too much and we still have a load of tempting chocs and stuff left from Christmas.
