    Good morning everyone :)

    Thanks to everyone that accepted my friend request. Sorry if I missed anyone, the 'can only add 5 at a time' rule makes it hard to get everyone. Well, I had a rubbish day yesterday but feeling a bit better this morning. Once hubby goes to work, I will get started on my shred!

    What are everybody elses plans for today?

    Is it too late for me to join?

    I'm Julia, 25 from Hertfordshire.

    I want to lose 20lb and try to eat pretty clean - been having some hormone issues that have been keeping the weight on! I'm trying to keep consistent with my exercise and am on Day 9 of the 30 Day Shred at the moment. I like to cook a variety of veggy meals with a bit of meat and fish here and there too! I find that planning my meals really helps me stay on track.

    My vices are wine, cheese and dark chocolate. And eating too much after too many drinks!

    I'm planning on doing my shred when I get home and will be making this for supper later on:

    I have only ever lasted a few days on the 30DS and I give up :(
    All of my muscles ache and I can't continue.
    i am going to try it again soon, and I really hope I can get through at least a week this time :'D

    Your muscles stop hurting at around day 4 or 5. After that it's all good until you get to the next level but I only ached for 2days after that. Don't give up, I can actually see a bicep muscle growing now!!

    Morning all :drinker: <- me with my morning coffee

    (re some people talking about shredding that I forgot to quote...) I've given up on the shred for now :sad: I found level 2 just too harsh on the knees, even though I tried to take it easy. I was having to take 2 days off in between to let my knees recover each time. Such a shame as level 1 seemed like a good, quick workout!

    Good Morning my fellow Brits :)

    Sitting here with my strawberries and natural yoghurt.
    This is the earliest I have been up in a while - It's my first day back at uni today.
    Hoping to fit some exercise in when I get home :/
    I normally do it in the morning, but there is no way I could be getting up at 6am just to work out ha.

    Have a good day :)

    Good morning everyone, Its really foggy outside, wheres my promised indian summer????? Didnt get a chance to introduce myself yesterday. My name is Frances and I am a 35 year old single mum of 2. My children are amazing but then I guess I'm biast. My son turned 13 at the weekend and my daughter is 18. I have gained a lot of weight over the last couple of years and was diagnosed about 18 months ago with an underactive thryoid. I am now on medication and stable and desperately trying to lose the weight. I thought I had tried everything until I joined MFP and this site has been my saving grace. I have been here for about 6 weeks now and have lost about 10lbs which to me is amazing. I love all the support on here and I never feel alone anymore in my struggle. Would love to know if anyone lives in the Epping/Loughton area (Essex)? My friend and I are doing the C25K as well and we completed out first 20min jog/run last night, another amazing achievement for both of us.

    :drinker: Morning!!
    Did my morning shred...it's addictive and I'm getting better - it's those bicycle sit-ups at the end of level 1 that get me. When i'm comfortable doing the whole of level 1 including them, I'll move on, not till then! Besides I have a 2hour TKD class later...

    Hi Guys

    I am Mandy 48 from Hampshire. I have been here since the end of last year on and off! I am so close to my goal that I find it hard to shift the weight. Though I am really good at yo-yoing!

    I have been a stay at home mum whilst running a national charity from home with my spare hand but we are just finalising the winding up of it so I need to get back out into the big wide world of work for my own sanity!

    I have two kids 21 and 16, just running off on a rescue mission tomorrow for the 21 year old who is living in Hull on her industrial placement year of her degree! Not certain I am ever going to get rid of her! Though her 16 year old brother will be a different story I am sure!

    Really got to get my eating under control I have given into the suagr monster over the last few weeks and its time he went back in his box! Also need to get a grip with exercise too!

    Looking forward to getting to know you all!!

    I've done my 30ds for today - on day 15 now so half way through (yay!) I can def tell a big difference in my hip area already,c ant wait to see the finished results now!

    I think I am on day 8...I totally lost track...I am doing level 2 now...wonder what level three is like.

    Ive done a few days of level 3 as well to mix it up, i find it easier than level 2 actually, its a lot more strength work though!

    Talk about a revival!!! WOW!

    I'm an old member on here, but for those that don't know me:

    I'm Lesley, 30 years old and from Northern Ireland! I managed to lose over three stone last year, and am struggling to maintain my loss at the minute so my weight has been very much up and down! I'm a personal secretary so I'm sitting around most of the day....

    On Saturday I provided myself with a lovely new incentive, not only to maintain, but to shift that last stone.... a wedding dress!!
