Quick look at my measurements :eek: Waist: 5.5 inches to go Hips: 1 inch to go Bust: 2 inches to go I don't have to loose this as the dress can be taken out a bit thank goodness! I think even by a couple of inches. These are "ideal". But it's a good thing to keep me on track! :D And I don't...

Thanks for the support guys :D I'm not too worried as it's just one day :) I may have put on a bit of water weight but it won't be fat :D If I put on a couple of pounds + there's no way I ate 3,500 cals to even put on one pound of fat!

Just found this on the website: :( hmm.

The headache is subsiding *happy dance* I am starting insanity again tomorrow (done it once :D). Do you think it's safe on TS or should I do WS on Insanity days? I can burn between 300-550 cals depending on the DVD :) Advice welcome :)

Have a great TS day :)

Thanks guys - I still have the headache but not as bad! :)

Daily weigh in: 55 / 105 : 203.5 54 / 104 : 202.6 (-0.9) 53 / 103 : 202.4 (-0.2)

Yes, you might be right on that one. Hopefully I will wake up more positive :) thank you.

Urrgh tonight is hard. The worst headache I've had for a long time, along with being too hot (?) And sweaty! I prefer the normal too cold side effect! :(

Wow I'm in exactly the same situation! My first fit is beginning of April and I'm aiming for a 14 too :D Good luck! x

Hi Starshine! I started again yesterday so we're at similar start dates :) Good luck and I look forward to seeing how you're doing x

Hope today is great :D Good luck x

Thanks all. My packs are coming today. Ordered at 1955 last night. Amazing... Starting 100% tomorrow as I have a meal out tonight :) x

Hi guys! I last did Exante a year ago and I'm the same weight as when I quit. I'm back! :) Since then I have taken up the Insanity workout and I love it, but drastic wedding related stuff means I have to GET ON IT. As of tomorrow I have 106 days until my wedding and 56 days until my first...

It's May next year! I want to have been maintaining for a while by then :) I want to be anywhere between 9.5 and 10.5 stone, can't remember what looks good on me, ha! So anywhere between 4 and 5 stone off! Great to see you too Marge - how have you been doing? xx

So had a great meal out last night (and cocktails!) I was intending to be right back on it today... But the people we are staying with wanted to go out for lunch too! Damn... LOL! Think I chose the wrong weekend to start - but at least I have and I'm ready for a TS day tomorrow! Weight: Day 1 ...

Don't skip up the levels too soon... Make sure you stop if you need to and pause so you don't miss any of the workout! have water handy even though its only 20 mins :) It's hard but totally worth it if you keep going! good luck! xx Marge I posted in your diary thread! x

Hi guys, thanks and good luck to you too :D I forgot I'm going out for a meal tonight - I'm going to carry on with packs etc today and not let it be an excuse to eat everything in sight, ha ha. Today will be a simple solution day, then right back on it tomorrow! I am also wondering if...

Hi again guys! Long time no see. As you may have guessed from the title - I'm getting married next year! I have a shiny new diary for this attempt at Exante as it's going to be the last time! :) I'm going to post my weight every day, as I'm a daily weigh-in type! Thankfully I'm not back to my...

I'm shredding again too :D

Did yesterday and totay, whoop! :)

Ahaha Marge :). L1 for ne today. Going to mute Gillian though and pop some tunes on. She's getting annoying!

I am attempting the shred again. Feel free to join me... L1 yesterday and going to do L1 today. Amazing how unfit you get if you stop doing these things!

Keep at it mate :) xx

Ha, it is good motivation :D

I do TS unless I go to the gym and then I do WS to stop me feeling funny :)

Another day almost done, rather looking forward to my meal tonight :D went to the gym today for the first time in months, did about 40 mins cardio so pleased with that for my first go!

I love these packs, wish I'd ordered more but I was scared I'd hate them!

Arrgh, too long! Hey guys I'm back! I had some horrid family stuff happen which totally threw me off plan (less said the better methinks) Only ready to try again recently - I started again yesterday at 208lbs. Onwards and downwards! Hope all you lovely folks are okay x

Week 4 WI (8/2/12) Oops, forgot to post :) 3lb down (as of Weds :)) Hope you're all doing well! x

Thanks guys, just a bit dissapointed. But you're right, a loss is a loss :) xx Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

I have the dreaded week 3 loss to report: -1.5 :( hopefully next week will be better! Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Day 15 Only a 2lb loss this week. Hopefully next week will be better :)

Welcome :D well done on your first day x x Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

There's no point (for me anyway) losing weight without proper exercise :) its very important to me to be fit and healthy. I think this is the best way for me to achieve my goals, even if my losses are slower :) Best of luck with your new plan :D Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Day 12 Day 12 and feeling more positive / less bored :D Been doing WS for a few days now, reasoning below! Been to the gym and did 30 mins of cardio and then resistance. Last time I went I was too knackered for any resistance training. This, as happened last time, has made me rethink...

Day 11 Soooooo bored of this now :( I'm not going to come off plan or anything but its all feeling a bit tedious... Have done a 100 days checklist. I want to be close to my goal by then. I get a tick every day... How exciting! :D had a sneaky scale peek and 1lb down since Wednesday... Hope some...

I have also woken up thinking I've eaten... It's quite worrying at first :O Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Me too! :D At 150 (my lowest ever) I just couldn't resist. :D Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Definitely agree that early nights help, even if I don't sleep and watch tv I'm away from the fridge :) Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Day 7 Not keeping track of days very well. It must be day 7, lol! Still doing well, first WI tomorrow so hopfully 1/2 stone down... Maybe... Eek. Still loving porridge not microwaved. been adding boiling water and letting it stand. Much nicer and not done me any harm yet :D Definitely...

This made me grin :D great attitude miss! x Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Day 6 Day 6 and doing good. Bit of an awesome headache but nothing too bad :) STS today, but official week 1 weigh in isn't until Weds :) Onwards and downwards! :D

It's a good idea :) When I first joined they gave me a plan, taking in to account any injuries and what I could do. Well worth making an appointment :) I'll keep you updated on what I do, too!

Much better for me with just hot water. Less of an aftertaste and better consistency :) Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Thanks everyone for your support :) I do a bit of what takes my fancy, Marge! I'll start popping it in my diary if you like. :) Yesterday was rowing, cycling and 1 min run / 1 min walk, about 40 mins in total x Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Day 5 Day 5 already :) Been to the gym and took it quite easy, soup, then to town and treated myself to some new nail polish :D The headaches and hunger are finally going off a bit. No losses to report today, but I'll keep on trucking :D

Oooh just realised I did another BMI goal :D yay!

Day 4 Day 4? I'm pretty sure it's day 4, anyway. :D So... I have tried the porridge and I quite like it. This is a good thing as I ordered so bloody much. I weighed in at 203 this morning. 4lb gone in 4 days! let's hope I continue being good :) Official 1 wk weigh in on Wednesday... Not...

A quick observation about the shred & fitness levels... I went to the gym today instead of shredding... my usual workout would be along the lines of 5 min row (warm up) / 15 mins cross trainer / 15 mins cycling and some weights. This would be pretty knackering. I had to up all of the levels...

Being a daily weigher I can tell you I have lost 2 stone now. Yipiee! :D Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Didn't shred yesterday, not feeling too well :( About to do it today though, L2 - 2.5kg :)

Nice one marge :D Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Day 5 Today has been shredded :) L1 with 2.5kg weights. Was so much easier now I have done a couple of intermittent days at L2... Might have to do a few days in a row at L2... then have a peek at L3 :eek:

Boobs :( :( I look all out of proportion at the mo. But last time I managed to loose weight I did even out towards the end! Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Mine took about 3 days - did you get the £5 one from the Amazon alt ego Indigo Starfish? :)

Bucks :) you? Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

I think It's a slimming world thing. Do you can have x amount of syns a week or whatever... :)

Day 4 Level 2 with 2.5kg weights just done. Just going to sit in the corner and sweat to death now... ;)

I like chit chat! It's lovely and sunny here today :) Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Hey guys, I wanted to start a thread for all of us on the 30 day shred for motivation, questions etc. :) So for me I'm on day 3... did L1 then L2 then L1! How are you all doing? :)

:D WS today! Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Well done marge. We can do this 30 days! Maybe I should start a shred thread?? :) x Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Level 1 shredded tonight and still 100% WS! Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Small dumbells should be fine. I'd start as low as you can, and then build up as you get fitter :) And go for it right away - there's two people to follow for beginner and advanced. You can always pause and catch your breath if you need to :D I have paused to have a quick drink today x Sent...

Yay for fellow shredders :D Best of luck with it guys x Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Woo :D Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

I might do L1 tomorrow and alternate between the two. I'm not ready for hardcore L2-ing, haha! I'm just too curious for my own good :giggle:

I don't remember what her exact words were, but they were along the lines of you should feel like you're dying! :eek: There were plank twists too... OMG!! Feel fab now though! :)

STAY ON LEVEL ONE PEOPLE. *dies* I thought I'd give L2 a go. Back later when I'm not melting. ;) Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Yay! Another shredder :D Best of luck for that pound!!

Thanks ladies! :D Didn't manage to drag myself out of bed early enough this AM, so I'll do it before the OH gets in from work. It is not a spectator sport!! You're going to love it ladygaga! ;)

Day 24 I am now going to go on WS for the majority of the time. I just feel so much better for it whilst exercising. Doing the shred / going to the gym I will find easier to stick to, too! On all my WS days I have managed just to stop at what I'm allowed, so fingers crossed it continues! :) I...

I fell off a couple of times before I could do a whole week - just keep plugging away and it will happen! :D

:D for me Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Best of luck Bambalina, you can do it :D

I shredded... owch. :D Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Goodness Marge, do you think i'm that much of a pain freak?? Level 1 for now :D I guess 2.5kg will do for now ha ha. Best of luck fitting it in! I'm going to try and do as much of the 30 days as I can too xx Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

I'd like to try too if that's ok! I'm 70-30 WS-TS so I hope no-one minds? :) Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

My main reasons for carrying on :): - I will be fitter and healthier - I will feel better about myself I want to succeed. If I don't, it's my health and life that will suffer... no-one elses!

I just tried it Marge, I *had* to come and tell you, LOL! :giggle: I'm doing it with 2.5 kg an arm. Think I might need to up it a bit... but it was totally enjoyable. I guess I just love getting my butt kicked... haha. How are you doing??

LOVE vanilla and the choc orange bar :) Bleh to tomato. Don't hate it though... thankfully! Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

You can do it Sammeh :)

Thanks Sammeh! :D

WI 3: Day 22 -3lbs this week. Got the Beck book and the 30 day shred this morning... :D Looking forward to them!!

Thanks Marge, I feel less off a weirdo now :o Thanks so much x :)

Day 19 Day 19 already? :eek: I have been doing well, but I'm also quite scared because this is working? :( I feel really quite odd. I'm not sure why. In other news... I have ordered the Beck book to hopefully get me on track forever! So I'm look forward to reading it :D

That's great news :) Fingers crossed for you! x

Congrats blue, that is a great loss :) Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Well done :) That's the kind of situation I find the hardest, so I admire your willpower and commitment! Hope you have a great week 1 WI!

A lovely tweet by the Dali Lama today.

I have read online multiple times that when you loose a lot of weight it effects your hormones, as hormones are stored in fat? I know mine have been a bit funny too recently... :) No idea how true it is as I'm not a doctor!! :D

I just had to come and add my own WOW! :eek: Amazing change!

Day 16 Day 16 and I have hit one of my mini BMI drop goals :D whee. Hello 204. My goal for the next week is to go to the gym at least twice, and I'm going to keep my next mini goal in mind! In other good news its a vanilla day today, haha. :) Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins Edit: Just...

Day 15 : WI 2 Only -2 this week. Going to re-introduce gymming to hopefully loose a little more next week :).

Day 11 Hey everyone, just a quick update to say I'm still on plan etc! :D I had a cracking headache yesterday, so I'm thinking something I ate (did a WS day) must have knocked me out... but I feel better today. Have to remember to be careful! I can't believe I've almost done 2 weeks! Onwards...

:eek::eek: Amazing :D

Keep it up Nonnibear :D :) Best of luck for the wedding target!

1st WI! -4.5! :) Whoop!

Day 6 / 7 I've been doing really well - always 100% TS or 100% WS - I have mixed and matched the two which suits me brilliantly. But I haven't lost all that much, I'm not looking forward to WI tomorrow! :( I think it'll be a max of 3.5lbs this week... I guess I can't expect too much though...

Honk :D Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

My friend at work couldn't stop staring at me today... I asked her what was wrong and she told me I look like I've lost loads! :D

Welcome back :D Hope it was fab!!

Fantastic :D:D Congrats on your hard work! x

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time :( Stress at work = a nice cold drink and a few deep breaths, rather than the vending machine now... but it does take willpower! I also do martial arts (well, I did before when I was smaller! going to go back soon!), so I can have a go on my punch bag...

Day 5 Day 5 and I've had 2 packs so far today - whee, I haven't felt hungry! Time for my shake soon! :) I feel good but I don't look good though :( My skin has gone crazy, total breakout! I also have huge bags under my eyes. Hopefully my body will sort itself out soon...

Not at the moment Marge :) I wanted to get in to it and not push myself too hard in the first couple of weeks - maily because I think that was my downfall last time. :cry: I still walk to and from work (30 mins combined) and do some EA Sports Active 2 on my Wii!

Hey blue, I hope you feel better soon! Maybe have a nap if you need to? If you can, hee... I did in my first few days and it helps immensely x Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Day 4 The tiredness / hunger / being a grumpy bum has all gone. For the first time, I feel super positive about all this, and I'm not craving anything! :party0049: And today I'm on to over a stone lost on Exante (first attempt + this one!). Huzzah! :D

Congrats, and well done on all your hard work :D:stickdance:

Hi Blue :) It's nice to have you back! You can do it :D

Day 3 I've had a good day today. No hunger, but man... I'm so tired. It's a major effort to sit here and type. At least feeling this tired will keep me out of the bread bin hunting for carbs... I can't be arsed! :D In more exciting news... Since Friday (official day 1) I have lost 3lbs :)

Welcome and best of luck for today :)

Normally it's next working day (if you order before 1pm on a working day). With the bank holidays I'd expect it on Weds :)

I really like all the shakes, bars and soups! I would say out of all of them, chocolate / banana shake are my least favourite - but there's nothing that I actively avoid or dislike - But I think I'm quite lucky that way. My favourites are veg soup / vanilla shake / choc orange bar. I do add a...

That's amazing! Well done on all your hard work x Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Every day - otherwise I'll just say to myself "oooh one *insert food item* won't hurt... I have until next week!". So it keep me on track.

Day 2 Today I'm doing great! I'm feeling suitably happy because I went to Sainsbury's and my trousers nearly fell down :eek: They're a pair of size 20's I've been wearing for ages (and they'd just been washed so I thought they'd be nice and snug!!) So I treated myself to a pair of lovely size...

Bieng a compulsive scale hopper I can tell you it already is :D Woo TS! Thanks for your support so far :)

Honk!

Official Day 1! WI as promised: Start weight: 211.5 :sigh: Onwards with TS, and making the next 7 days 100%. :D.

Well done for getting through someone waving cheesy mince at you!! :eek: Keep on truckin' mate, you're doing fab!! :D

Thanks Lozza! :D I will keep that in mind during diffucult moments :)

Today is going OK! Fingers crossed I can keep this up. :D Unfortunately I haven't lost anything yet, but I know I shouldn't be scale hopping :o I'm making my weigh in day Fridays (so offical start tomorrow - I'll post my official start weight for week 1), just so it will keep me on track over...

Im cracking on with it as we speak! :D Gonna dooo it :)

You sound super motivated :D best of luck with it all x

Day 1 - Eek I'm really motivated and in a better frame of mind today! :D Yipiee. I think it's partly because my friend just told me she's got engaged (eeeee!) and I don't want to look like a whale at her wedding! :oIt's not going to be until next year, but it's still a along term goal to aim...

Best of luck - I don't think you'll need it though, you sound realllly motivated! :) Here's to the bikini! :D

Well done, that's amazing :)

Congrats on your loss! :) You look great!

Day 1 (again, haha) Thanks Marge! :D I do about 45 mins cardio + weights about 3 times a week. Plus EA Sports Active 2 on the Wii on non gym days. Oh and I walk to and from work! Until I'm used to the diet I think I'll cut down on the cardio and focus on building muscle - then incorporate...

Thanks Lozza, that's great to know. :)

Getting a big glass of water as we speak :D thanks mate! x

I am craving Crumpets! The bread bin is calling me :( must.stay.away.

Hi blue :) I restarted yesterday - I was wondering if you were still around after re-reading my diary. Best of luck on the restart! You can do it mate! x

That is amazing!! Well done :D x

Congratulations on that loss :D Fantastic!!

Happy Easter all :)

You can do it! :) The support here is fantastic. Good luck for when you start!
