Hello all :)

I haven't really posted on the forums before but today I am going out to buy some weights and a mat and will be starting the 30 Day Shred!
I have lost 8lbs so far without much exercise so hoping this will really boost the weight loss.
Is anyone else starting today or doing it at the moment?
I really need some people to keep me going as even though I can eat good for so many days in a row.. I'm not so great at keeping on track with the exercising.

    Hi Chloe,

    Well done for the 8lbs and doing the shred! Just wanted to let you know that it is an intense, but fab workout :) However you may not lose many lbs, but you will definitely lose inches. So my advice is definitely measure yourself before you start! I lost only 1 lb for the whole DVD, but 4" from round my waist!

    Hope this helps and good luck x

    I am on day 16 of the shred, the inches is what really is evident. However I am pretty close to my goal now so the pounds aren't coming off as quick as they were initially. It's a tough work out especially when you get into level 2 but it is worth it. Only 25 minutes a day, you can't beat that! Good luck!!

    I should be starting in a few days. I ordered it today on amazon prime.

    Thanks :)

    All before measurements, weight and pictures done.
    I went out and got the weights and mat and have completed day 1..my arms hurt typing this! haha.
    I don't mind not losing the lbs if it tones me up, hoping though that If I carry on eating well then I will lose some weight too.

    It's weird, as I usually do aerobics for 30mins it feels like I haven't done enough moving around, I could feel it in every muscle though so I know it was doing good!

    There's a new group just started that is supporting each other through the 30 days (starting 25/03), if that would help you. Search in the groups section.

    I just started a few days ago. Today will be day 4 :) I am enjoying it so far and can't wait to take my after pictures. I am using 8lb weights though, so most of the strength I can only do half before I finish without weights.
