    I'm in. Will post measurements when I get back from vacation next week. I'll start crunches tomorrow while I'm away from home.

    Does anyone know if you can do 30DS with bad knees?

    Are we all going to post our starting stats? If so, here are mine:

    Thinnest part of waist: 28
    Belly button: 29
    2 inches below bb: 33.5

    I realise that this doesn't sound like I have much of a belly, but it does wobble, I promise. I also have a small frame. Oh, and I should add that I haven't had any children.

    I'll do pics later and put them on my profile.

    At the starting line ...

    I forgot hips - they are 35. Took pictures of belly yesterday, but problem with my phone so can't post them yet - will try to sort out today. They are horrible!

    Belly pics now on my profile - no time to figure out posting here. If anyone wants to look, they are the belly close-ups, ha ha. Not very clear, but you get the general idea. I have a smile thing going on across the middle where there is a deep crease.

    im in, my belly has its own name...clive

    :laugh:

    This cracked me up!! Why clive?

    Count me in this challenge! My belly is definately my problem area. I was in the changing room the other day tryin on a dress and my 4 year old asked why by belly was so fat! I told him that when he was a baby he lived in there and thats why it was fat. To which he replied.... ''do you have a baby living in there now then mummy'' I told him no he'd just ruined it but he now insists on telling everyone that ''mummy has a fat belly because a baby lives in there'' despite the fact im actually not pregnant!!

    I could hear the lady in the changing room chuckling!

    So the kids are back at school today so I have no reason not to to get back into my old routine! I've taken before pics and measurements and I will be doing the shred to ease myself back into exercising as I have pretty much had the whole summer off!! I'm also going to do 10 minutes of my 10 minute solutions rapid results dvd focusing on my tum tum 3 times a week!

    Next month im going to do ripped in 30 as my daily exercise with 6 week 6 pack 3 times a week!

    Baby bump be gone.... :laugh:

    Measurements are:-

    Upper waist - 33
    Waist (at belly button) - 34.5
    Lower waist - 36
    Hips - 37

    I'm in! Now I have to pick up one or two of those Jillian Michaels DVD's. If I'm starting with one, which is the best? Can I get them at Target? This belly needs to stop 'hangin' around!

    The Shred is really good, helped my belly get firmer...I just need more help now lol!!

    Hmm. there is quite a lot of impact in the 30DS, but you could adapt it where necessary.

    Today is Day 1! Who's excited? I'm going to post what I did for exercise everyday and calories burned at the end of the week to keep the thread lively. Hopefully someone else will do the same! I'd love to hear what other people are doing every day to battle the bulge! :bigsmile:

    Good luck to everyone!

    In honour of this fabulous project I was thinking of making myself another ticker for calories burned this month, or minutes working out, something like that, but the tickers on here only seem to be for weight lost. Anyone know how to get others? And to connect them to the exercise log on here? I've seen them on other people's signatures, so i know it's possible!

    Sorry @Jen, waslooking back and saw that I'd missed this one. 'The Ticker Factory' is one popular place; can't remember the address right now, but if you google it you'll get it.

    I might have to do this too Jen! I've been tired of looking at my same ticker all the time, and it changes so infrequently, Lol

    I'm hoping to find some good tips from you ladies here :) I have been trying for several months now before and since joining mfp with no real inches lost in the waist area or lbs for that matter. I can post daily as well. It's also nice to see there are others with similar measurements to mine, I'm not alone lol.

    Below ribcage 34"
    Bellybutton 38-39"
    Hips 41"

    I would suggest only measuring weekly and maybe posting weekly as well.

    It seems quite complicated to add them to a post - I haven't even bothered trying as I've seen other people struggle so much with it. Why not put them on your profile? It's easy and people can go and look if they want to.

    OK so my first Burn the Belly and my first ever Insanity workout is done, Plyometric Cardio, 45 mins, burnt 489 calories :bigsmile:

    OMG, it was bloody hard, even the warm up felt like a workout on it's own! I got so hot that even now after a cool bath and about 40 mins later I still feel hot!!!

    I did Ripped in 30 levels 1 & 2, then stationary bike for 40 minutes. But I'm intrigued by Skinny's insanity ... Are we posting calorie burn? Mine was 674.

    Only burned 109 calories it says doing about 20 mins of Zumba. But thats better than what I have been doing NOTHING! Also have 2 kids under the age of 3 so 20 mins with no interuptions was AWESOME! LOL

    Oh I feel a right underachiever now! I squeezed in a quick 12 min of spinning intervals before i dashed off to work overnight, only burned about 110, so now i'm going to have to do some stairs at work when i get time! I brought the HRM just in case.

    I'll make up for it over the next 4 days, i'm off then.

    Is everyone eating their exercise cals? Some of you burned a helluva lot!

    Well done Jen, every little helps. :smile:

    One of the main reasons I'm doing this is so I can eat a lot. And no, I'm not joking - I love my food and I hate being hungry! I almost always eat all my exercise calories, and I'm steadily losing weight.

    Welcome redpj1. I've had the same problem, but I'm very happy to report that the bf is on the way out now. Back fat, that is, not boy friend! :laugh:
