i am pooped i did shred and i did 7hrs helping my friend moving from a flat to ahouse and then unpacking moving furniture etc definatley burned my calories today
lol jillian getting on your nerves i usually have too much noise with kids etc to hear her but i like the fact shes honest comments like i want you to feel like your going to die on level 2 make me chuckle level 1 and her i know you want to shut of the dvd but dont i like she can relate that ye shes killing me but it will be worth it well it better be altho on a plus after level 1 sucking and me wanting to dump the dvd on a shelf and forget about it i do like the exercises in level 2 not so much the plank i cant do the plank jacks etc unless i want a knee the size of a balloon but the strength ones im quite enjoying i will do an extra day of level 2 tomorrow as im used to it and need to go out but ill start level 3 on thursday and see what i think i dont think the volume is essential tho as the exercises ar epretty much self explanatary to me i watch them then join in i dont need her to tell me but its good she explain it for me if i want to listen but its the same with any workout if you dont like it or it irritates you wont do it and if we want to get fit we have to do something unfoprtunaltly id love to be able to just wake up skinny tho so much easier0 -
Hello Everyone, monkeysmum has shown me the way to this fab site, my first day here and i already feel motivated to make myself change my weight and lifestyle towards food, excercise.
I want to say hopefully i can lose 7lb but im determined to, as me and my friend are going to see the Medium Sally Morgan and if she calls me up ( LOL),in front of all those people , it would be great to have built some confidence in the way i look, feel and maybe a new top, jeans to mark the occasion. lizz

good morning and happy wednesday
today my in laws are celebrating eid i would worry that id eat too much or go overboard with all the nice foods but they never make me veggie food i usually get salad and a chappatti so no worries there i just need to fit shred in before we go im still not confident to do shred in front of hubby
bjshooter my weight is stuck as well always between 134 and 136lbs it took me almost 10 weeks to drop from 140 down i then lost it good for 3 weeks and now im stuck again i just figured its alot harder to come off when i dont have as much to lose but i am determined
chookmum i knew you would like it on mfp its a good way to track what we eat and get the OMG that has how many calories no wonder im gaining weight and mfp members are great and always boot my rear when i slack0 -
Hello everyone, well i am on day 4 level 2 of the shred and i hate it lol, but i will stick it out as i have got this far. I have heard some other people say they hate level 2 of the shred and then loved level 3, hmmm here's hoping!
Well i have to take my little boy for his booster jabs tomorrow then helping my mum clean her house but on Friday i am having a double whammy i am going to my dads for a pub lunch which always includes a bottle or 4 of wine lol and then Friday night it's down my local for my stepdads birthday. I don't want to feel like i am depriving myself as when i go to my dad's in future i will indulge.
Any tips/ idea's on how i can try and not go to over board with the fat/calories?
I do have the excuse that i can't drink too much at my dad's as i will be out that night aswell (last time i went to my dad's it wasnt pretty)
Hope everyone else is having a lovely day and looking forward to the weekend.

well i was good i had boiled basmati rice with mixed veg and salad and 1 roti i did indulge in 5 chocolates from a heroes box when i came home but i had done shred i did level 2 again so 11 days of level 2 i will try level 3 tomorrow today i ache all over after yesterdays house moving help feeling a little sore but it was definately worth it for the calorie burn
gem for lunch aim for something like chicken and dont have skin or a fish meal as long as it isnt fried fish try to limit your wine to 1 glass and opt for water and in the evening i like the ww white wine 75 calories a glass or go for clear spirit and diet coke nibbles you will have to just go for self restraint have some but set a limit and dont break it its hard i know nuts and crisps are my weakness i go way overboard so i try to have a small amount and then be good and not go back for more0 -
Happy Thursday!
Doing well with my eating, though my workouts aren't matching it. I had good intentions, up at 5.45 this morning, but was so tired I almost fell asleep when sitting and putting my trainers on. I thought that if I didn't have enough energy for that, I might struggle with a full on workout. So I thought I would head back to bed and make sure I was refreshed and full of energy for today - work is going to be mad today!
I will forgive myself as I am going well on the food. I will try better to gradually up my exercise to 4 times a week. I know it's going to be an intense gym session tomorrow!
Hope everyone is doing well!0 -
morning and happy thursday
cdpm i struggle with workouts as well its part of why i like 30ds its over fast lol i need do more tho or i will never lose the weight i want to lose
felling alittle off colour today keep going hot then cold and feel really achy i was hoping the aching feeling was a combination of shred and helping house moving but i still feel little sore today so im sticking to level 2 shred again at this rate the 3 days i skipped on level 1 ill have made up on level 2 but im just not in the mood for new routine just yet im going to have a cup of tea and a sit down and see how the day progresses but im hoping with a couple painkillers my aches will dissapear and my temperature will feel more normal instead of boiling to freezing0 -
Good morning
I actually did a fairly intese workout this morning! It was a short TurboFire HIIT workout but I'm glad I got through it in the morning since sometimes I just can't workout that early. I've done good with my exercise and eating this week so I'm hopeful for my weigh in tomorrow.
I hope you feel better monkeysmum.
Keep up the good work girls!0 -
Oh, and I had a little NSV this morning. I had to tighten the chest strap of for my HRM. I haven't really seen the pounds falling off since starting Chalean Extreme/TurboFire but looks like maybe the inches are starting to coming off. I'm going to check my measurments next week when I'm done with the 1st phase of Chalane Extreme.0

thanks nelski i feel somewhat better still alittle off it but not quite as bad and brilliant nsv i like the ones that creep up and surprise us
i just did level 3 shred and what a load of pants i had high hopes as level 2 i like its a good workout level 3 was rubbish i just didnt feel like i worked out the modifications for beginner where like well why bother as i felt as tho i wasnt working anything out and the cardio would leave me with severe knee pain and her superman pose get the chest of the ground well sorry at the size of my bust the only way thats going to happen is if i either get a boob reduction or strap em up like a mummy or maybe bend my back in half backwards so that was a pointless exercise as all my weight was supported on the floor i eneded up doing strength moves from level 2 really have no clue what she was designing there as nothing left my muscles feeling like they worked out im usually stubborn and keep at it but nope i shall do the last 9 days of shred on level 2 as at least i feel like thats a workout overall assesment of the 30ds is level 2 good fun and a workout levels 1 and 3 werent worth the bother of doing them0 -
good morning friday at last

TGIF
I got up and worked out this morning. It was kinda hard since I'm not great in the morning so I only made it through 28 min of the 45 min Chalean Extreme workout. I started feeling like I was going to puke. I'm only working a half day then heading straight to the shore for the weekend so I had to get in something this morning. Labor Day means 3 day weekend! It also means trouble for my diet but I will do my best. I'm bringing my resistance band and told my husband we HAVE to go for long walks.
I'm down 1.4 pounds from last week.
I'm really only down 1 lb since starting ChaLEAN Exteme & TurboFire because my weight was back up the next week. Oh well, I just hope it keeps going down and the inches come off.
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
have a great weekend nelski mine will suck as well im having belated eid with my sister shes visiting tomorrow it involves rice which i always go overboard with and cakes and buns but i cant say as i mind im looking forward to it its been 6 weeks since i last saw her so im going to enjoy it
next week will be better school starts tuesday that means i get out more in a morning and do more walking around i am going to miss the sleeping late tho ive gotten used to that
today im thinking i need to workout but i dont fancy shred i like level 2 but it gets monotonus after 11 days but i hated level 3 as i didnt feel like id worked out so do i stick at level 2 for another 9 days so ive done 30days of shred or do i just go back to my wii jogging which i love and use the time as an excuse to catch up on my tv shows i recorded (i usually set the wii free jog going get on trampoline and jog but change channels so im watching tv) im thinking jog i need some better cardio but i also feel that shred should really have a full 30days before righting it off as doing nothing for me so far i lost nothing no weight and the inch i was hoping id lost i havent0 -

Happy Saturday. Hope you all have great weekend plans. I am trying to save money for the next few months as I want to have a great Christmas break. So I need to find some cheap fun things to do at the weekends, other than doing workouts!
I had a sneaky weigh in this morning and I was under that evil 11stone. But its not weigh in day and don't want to get too excited, but its going to make me keep on track today!0 -
oh no sunday already lol
i had great fun yesterday i burned calories cleaning and jogging on wii and i had a great time with my sister ate way too much rice but i wont regret it i will just be good today and hope it doesnt show on the scales on monday
today i have plans for more wii jogging and alot of relaxing i did loads yeasterday with the tidying etc so i deserve a rest today i hope everyones having a fantatsic weekend0 -
How is it Sunday already?
Yesterday was my rest day, but did indulge a bit much in the evening as we saw the 2 dine in for 10 pounds at waitrose and I am a sucker for those deals! Such good value!
Today will be a good gym day and will be doing some cooking, making treats and dinners. All healthy of course!
Weigh in today and I hit my goal of 154lbs. I think it would have been more as I did have a splurge last night. I'm not complaining at a 1.8lb loss though!0 -

Hello everyone, well i have had a good weekend, went to dad's and for the pub lunch i had a ham ploughmans but without the bread roll or cheeses. I basically just ate the ham (but the fat off) and the salad. I did have 2-3 glasses of wine though =/
The birthday party i had a diet coke and afew nibbles but no bread/nuts/crispsor birthday cake.
I had Fri and Sat as my rest days this week and have lost all motivation for the 30DS now i am currently still on level 2 and really really hate it!
Hope everyone else has had a good weekend 0 -
motivation kicked in and ive done 1hr jogging on wii on my trampoline and im pleased with the calorie burn
gem i loved level 2 shred but i couldnt do it as a full time workout theres not enough cardio for my liking you need to find something you like and then you will want to do it its why i love wii fit plus variety so i can mix it up if i want0 -
well monday morning arrived way too fast for my liking and even more yuk im up 1lb thats the kick in the butt i need to be good this week and keep up the exercise 7 weeks until i go away and i would really like to lose some by then
in the past 4years ive dieted lost got to this weight and kinda stuck here then ive given up and gained the weight back before realising hey my clothes dont fit again and starting again this is the tim ei need the extra motivations because when i dont se ethe scales moving or the inches shifting i get discouraged feel free to kick my behind repeatadly and keep me on track
hope you all have a good week i havent bene seeing many acheivments for posting in couple weeks try and tell me what youve lost and ill add it and ill also put what you aimed to lose so we can see how close we are to them goals might kepe me off of fb for a while0 -
Oh boy I was not good this weekend. Way too much indulging. I won't even get into it all lol. I did get in a couple good walks and did a short workout with my resistance bands yesterday but I know it was not enough. I gotta stop doing that!
I just gotta move on and do good this week.0 -

Hello everyone!
It's a real horrid day, all windy and rainy and to make it worse I have to get the bus to work! Nothing worse than bussing it in the rain!!
I thought as it's a wet and horrid day I would make myself a warming and comfort lunch. I have got brown pasta, turkey and pesto all mixed up ready to re-heat later. I love it!
No workout for me today it's a rest day and I defiantly need one. I got cramp really badly in my leg last night
Hopefully I'll be back to top form tomorrow! 0 -
well ive had a day that was full of stresses apart from the horrid weather i had my watch battery die my phone battery die my car door refused to close the lock broke and door was stuck on open the cat had to go vet because she refused to eat the food with worming powder in and i was so busy with all the school run things i never even got to food shop that will have to be tomorrow i did get in 30minutes of wii jogging but now im just ready for bed and a praye rthat tomorrow please be better day0

Hey all.
I've been tracking my food and exercise really well, but I have been having cravings for snacks. Especially in the evening. I am drinking my 8 glasses of water a day, sometimes more, but still wanna eat snacks.
Does anyone have any ideas hints or tips of how to curb the cravings?0 -
good morning happy thursday am i bad for counting down to the weekend i am super shattered i need a few more weeks of school to be back in this routine
today i need finish of the cleaning i only barely touched yesterday and i will get on the wii yesterday was just full i never stopped but i did get in over an hr of walking so i dont feel too bad
cdpm i know this sounds weird but brush your teeth to stop cravings or find a very strong mint mint has something in it that makes all foods tastes weird so you dont like the taste the chewing also produces more saliva so your body gets tricked into thinking its eating not sure why it works it just does a friend whose been dieting for years uses it as well and stops her snacking worth a shot and if it doesnt work at least your dentisit be happy lol0
