  • Phil and Teds Vibe - amazing for walking, dont know about running but Id say it would be good. Price tag with the doubles ki and extras is about 1000 euro though. Ive had mine for two and a half years and it has been worth every penny. They also hold their value when selling second hand. For reference, my kids are 3, 2 and…
  • Love the videos, theyre fab! Found them really motivating actually. Congratulations on reaching your goal and best of luck for the future!!
  • Hiya guys... was hoping I may be able to join you? I am completed L2D1 today (fell all over my carpet because I wasnt wearing shoes for the jumpy bits, lesson well learned). I lost my post pregnancy weight from my 3rd child, born in September 2010, but sadly regained it because of bad eating and too much beer over the…
  • I time my alarm so I get up and exercise before the kids wake up (they are 3,2, and 10 months...) its annoying and I would loooooove to stay in bed, but for me personally its my most motivated time- ie once I start, I wont stop and I feel energised for the day. If I do it in the evening, I am knackered and feel more like…
  • Sanctimonious explained in one... Ive never tried the hCG thing myself - only time Ive ever had hCG in my system is through being pregnant with my children. Keeping weight off requires a long term sustainable lifestyle, and that certainly isnt one. If you are a member of a gym, do they have a nutritionist service attached,…
  • ah thanks for all the help guys! Before i had children, I swear I actually had a brain and could understand stuff... now its just turned to mush, and the only thing I really know are the words to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme... Bootzey youre an absolute superstar, I c&p'd that for reference - makes it much simpler to…
  • gorgeous then, and gorgeous now! well done you!
  • Congratulations to all of you still going at it!! I am so pissed off at myself. I didnt do it Saturday or SUnday at all, and I ate like crap. Just so annoyed with myself its unreal. I am going to start L2 again today and do ten days of it before going onto level 3. So I wont be finishing it in 30 days but I WILL finish it.…
  • Argh girls, have had terrible two days. Seriously. If I were a racehorse, you'd shoot me. Didn't do shred yesterday - went on two hour power walk, was going to do dvd after, then saboteur fiance cajoled me into watching movies all night. Did resist popcorn though so thats good. I did it today and enjoyed it. Kept on…

  • arrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhh come back level one! all is forgiven! Did L2d1 today and I think my poor arms and shoulders are going to be busted tomorrow. I think I broke my abs doing those oblique twisty jumpy things. I think I could quite get into it though. 100% committed to doing it, and I'm going to do it twice a day on…
  • Ive had 2 c-sections but three surgeries - My first section was 2 years ago, and I was in recovery when they realised I was bleeding internally so had to go back to theatre to be re-opened up. My second c-section was 7 months ago. My stomach is pretty much proportioned and the more weight I lose the less 'poochy' I am and…
  • Hey ladies... hows it going? I did day 10 on Sunday and was looking forward to doing level 2 yesterday... but I picked up some sort of bug. Urgh, I spent the whole day throwing up, it was after 7pm that I was able to keep water down. Had to ring my mother and get her to drive 45 mins to put my kids into bed because I…
  • I couldnt see the image in post so I c&p'd it.... wow! you can see such a difference! Im doing the shred at the moment so thankyou for the inspiration, and congratulations!
  • Day 9 done. We are neaerly one third of the way through. I have to say, had I not been checking in daily and doing this in the company of you guys then I would have had at least one rest day (or given up) by now, so thanks for the accountability ladies! :happy: last day tomorrow and then onto level 2...eep! I decided to up…
  • Mine's MrsGaff because I was newly engaged when I joined, and its a big spur for me to be in great shape by the time I do become Mrs Gaffney :)
  • Ha! you got it perfectly! I was watching too, only for five minutes... which turned into watching the whole thing start to finish... My first thought when I saw Beatrice's hat was that she was wearing Mickey Mouse ears :blushing: Loved Pippa's dress, the family looked like flippin' fashion models. I loved the fact that…
  • Days 7 and 8 are out of the way! Beginning to feel like I'm ready for a new challenge - dont get me wrong I still look like a sweaty red mess after working out but I feel like I could be more challenged now (check me out, it was only last week I was practically running away from exercise!) Did day 8 today before the kids…
  • Well day 6 completed! I have to be honest I was flagging a bit today - didnt get up at 6.30am and do it as I planned, instead I dropped my two oldest to their weekly playgroup and did it at about 11.30. I still pushed and gave it my best but I was sore and had less energy today for sure which was annoying. So I'm taking…
  • Day 5 doooooooooooone! I did it first thing and thought Id hate it because I was shattered but I really got into it and feel terrific now. I went walking with my friend for an hour last night and I'm going to a body toning class tonight. Just got to ask though - is anyone else retaining water? I'm up 5lbs!!! I know its…
  • Day 4 done and dusted. I started this morning but only got five minutes through because my kids would not stop coming in and poking me. Did it later on though, I'm finding the strength things getting easier so I might increase the dumbbell weight for some of them. Feeling the burn a bit in my calves doing the jump rope…
  • Hmmm, Id be more of the midset that they are guilty, not jealous. By making the right choices, youre exposing their wrong ones... and an attack is the best form of defending themselves. Youre doing whats best for you, and thats all that counts!
  • [img]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd282/klthomas86/Weight%20Loss%20Progress/230411450.jpg[/img}hoping that works, if not Photobucket does not want you guys to see my tummy and I give up! loledit - the lower case thing worked so thankyou!!! dont know why theyre saying its been moved though... its still there when I…
  • Hiya - just wondered if I could join the thread? I'm Kelly and I live in Ireland. Waterford girl here, up the Deise and all that ;) Have been on MFP since January but moving house and getting internet set up (then some idiot spilled Malibu on my laptop so had to get a new one) has meant I havent been on much... but Im…
  • Im 5'6" and 135. I want to be 118lbs (one pound less than eight and a half stone... dont ask lol). Ive had three kids in three years though so Im not thinking its going to be particularly easy but thats my ideal goal.
  • Day 3 down and 27 to go! I found it easier today - still cant do those fecking push ups though, I'm rubbish at them. These are my before pics (well, day 2) No laughing please! And I know that mirror is dirty :blushing: had to drag it out of the garage as I have no full length one. edit - ok, it doesnt want to let me post a…
  • Day 2 over and done with - the soreness is kicking in now! Up at half six to do it and came *this* close to chickening out and staying in bed, but I did it anyway and feel much better for it. Just hope I can sneak in a shower before my kids wake up and ambush me. Im really starting to look forward to day 10 - please god…
  • Haha Katrob I am like that when they have cooking shows on the tv in the gym and Im drooling over it... it feels so dirty lol. Height 5'6" Weight 135 lb Bust 34 Waist 29 above belly button and 32.5 below Hips 36 Thighs 22" Upper Arm 11" Those were my stats this morning, I did the shred and I feel great atm, but can already…
  • I did it. I lost 4lbs (probably due to adding a good few glasses of wine over the weekend of doing it...) and I did feel very refreshed and 'cleansed' and the weight actually stayed off until I got pregnant the first time. It was ok, but its not particularly family friendly because its very time consuming doing all the…
  • Hiya, also in Ireland here... good luck with your weight loss :)
