    We should add height to the information/get to know each other questions. I like to know how tall people are just to compare? Ya know? Or maybe add it to our first weight in post?

    Hi, I'd like to join in on this too! I've started the Shred before and did about ten days of it, but they were broken up. I'm hoping that being accountable to someone will keep me motivated!

    Also, I like the idea of extra little challenges along the way! So feel free to throw some out there and maybe we can add one extra little challenge a week! Also, anyone who has a closed diary, I challenge you to open it, and allow us all to look through eachothers. We can give eachother feed back, and learn tips or eating ideas from eachother. I recently have stopped logging because it seemed i lost weight when i wasnt logging. I realised 1200 cals just was not enough while nursing and i had my goals set to sedentary. I switched them to lightly active because unless im at the computer, eating a meal, or sitting on my excercise bike, I dont sit down! Im tendign to baby, doing something for Colton, or cleaning. Im too high strung to sit much and I think my body just wasnt getting enough calories. I also recommend everyone eat back their calories burned. OK enough rambling!!! :wink:

    I said the word 'also' far too much in that last post!!! :laugh:

    I forgot to mention my personal goal for the Shred... I am fitting back into my prepregnancy clothes, have been for sometime. Im still nursing, and with my 1st son i got back to normal size but was 10lbs heavier, stopped nursing and lost the 10lbs in a week. As of right now, Im back in my clothes, my hips are 2 inchs smaller then prepreg, waist 1in smaller, but im 5lbs heavier then prepreg weight. Again I blame the boobs, 3in bigger then prepreg bust measurement. So my personal goal is to hit my prepreg weight of 142, while still nursing!!!

    Thank you all for putting up with my rambling... you will find that I do it a lot!!! :bigsmile:

    Hi everyone! I hope you don't mind if I join you for the Labor Day Shred!! I am pretty new to MFP and wanted to do the shred with a group like this one, and most of the ones I had already found were already started or didn't start for a little while. So glad I stumbled upon this page this morning and I book marked it!


    My measurements:
    Bust: 44.5"
    Arms: L:13.25" R: 13"
    Upper Waist: 39"
    Lower Waist: 43.
    Hips: 46"
    Thighs: L: 25" R-25"
    Calves: L: 16.5 R: 16.25



    START Weight: I was at 192 a week or so ago. I don't plan to weigh myself for another week or two. I get really discouraged weighing myself too often.

    about me:
    Name- Erica

    Age- 25

    Husband & Kids- Tristan-married 4.5 yrs, together almost 7. Children: 1 little boy who is almost 7 months!

    Job- SAHM for now/military spouse

    Location- Oklahoma City, OK

    Ever Shredded- Just randomly my husband and I have done it together a total of probably 12 times. Only have doneI want level one and two.

    Goals- to fit into my size 10s comfortable. Would ideally like to lose around 40 lbs total before getting pregnant again.

    Shred Goal: to have my clothes fit looser. I wear all my pre-preg clothes and I am the same weight I was before pregnancy, but I was obese to begin with! Wouldn't mind losing 5lbs. :)

    I'm in. I'm going to try to keep up this time! A little about me:

    Goals- 130 or a Size 8 whichever comes first.


    OK, here goes for today! I'm working myself up to doing the shred today. The weather is cold and dismal and making my mood follow it! I've done Level 1 several times and am comfortable with it. I tried Level 2 on Saturday and Level 3 yesterday and found them tough but not crazy. I tried to do this last month, but pulled so many muscles doing Level 1 at full tilt it took me 6 days to recover. This time I'm going to push, but not so much that I hurt myself like that! Good luck everyone!

    ANYWAY, here are my stats!

    Bust- 44"
    Left Arm 15.25"
    Right Arm 15.125"
    UpperWaist- 37.5"
    LowerWaist- 43.25"
    Hips-46"
    Left Thigh 28"
    Right Thigh28.25"
    Left Calve-17.5"
    Right Calve- 17.5
    Weight 220.0 (was 218.8 this am but am not counting that as I slept in and didn't have breakfast!)

    I'd like to lose 10 lbs in a month, but that's a stretch, I'll be happy with 2 lbs a week and inches off the bod!
