8 lbs in 4 weeks challenge??

Morning,
I'll let you into a secret - was going to "forget" on purpose to weigh in this morning. I had a brilliant monday to friday last week - even the button on my trousers did up easy by friday but then had a weekend of indulgance which carried on over to the kids jubillee party on monday & yesterday I thought I've blown it. However I woke up this morning & thought I'd better see what damage I'd done and guess what? I lost 1 pound!!!! I was so ecstatic I cant tell you. Please if anyone else is thinking of dodging the scales - don't - it wont help. Best to face up to it then draw a line under it and start a new week. Thats what I'm going to do. I'm aiming for another 1 pound next week - actually better make that 3 or I'll fall behind in the challenge!!!
Enjoy the long weekend everyone & good luck,

PS Does anyone know what 30 day shred is?
 
Well done Angela. I always find sw surprising that way.
Think the 30 day shred is a DVD by the girl from the biggest looser US or one of those shows. I sounds painful :(
 
Morning!

A 2 lb loss for me :)! Hopefully it will carry on, this challenge has made me determined. If I get 2 lb next week I will have lost a stone, but it's my birthday in friday so will prob have an offish day - oh and I've asked my brother to get me the 30 Day Shred - it's only £4.99 from Play.com x sarah x
 
Just found out I've won a trip through work - I work in a travel agency - so will need to get in a bikini in 3 weeks time - aargh! Definately need this challenge now!

PS Does anyone know what 30 day shred is?

I started the 30 day shred last week. It's a DVD by Jillian Michaels (of Biggest Loser USA, as someone else has said) which gives you an intensive 20ish minute workout to follow every day for 30days. There are 3 levels and you follow each for about 10 days. I must admit the first few days were a killer (from someone who does absolutely no structured exercise), but having now completed 10 days of level 1, I am feeling so much better, and it is much easier to complete. Oh and it works to lose inches too - in 10 days I have lost 11 cm from my body, mostly round my tummy and hips. And in the same period of time I have only lost 1lb in weight.

I thoroughly recommend it!!

Well done you! It's a great feeling to cross the stone threshold into a lower figure isn't it? Gives you such a boost and a great incentive to keep going xx
 
Had my at home WI.... and down 1 lb. Could have been 2 if I had of resisted the cake and chocs at work this week! Have to now manouvre the long weekend!
