Ok, I've finally opened one of these threads to see what all this "Shredding" is about...AND... "I wanna be a Shread Head!!!" Baby no2 is nearly 4 months, never quite lost it all from baby no 1 who's now 3...but I'm ready to get my sexy back so please ladies, tell me, where do I buy the DVD? Will I have to order it online? Or can I get it here in Dubai. Desperate to get going while the motivation is flowing through me ;-)

So proud of me today, I drove my guests around this morning, and DD came back from school with a stomac bug, so I was feeling down and tired, I almost went to lie down but I remembered that I hadn't shredded today and I litterally kicked my butt to do it (thanks cyclone for the "Find reasons why you can instead of excuses why you can't. Find reasons why you will instead of excuses why you won't.) I did it and I feel so good, not tired anymore, and I had so much less trouble doing everything than yesterday. Day 2 Level 2 done :D edited by alexbraz on 25/01/2011 That's what I'm talkin' about!!

Missed a couple of days due to more sleepless nights :( But started L3 yesterday - flip me it's hard - but I LOVED it. Having done L1/2 I know it will get easier (though it will probably get harder first!!!) and the sense of achievement will be brilliant. Off to Fujeirah for our first holiday post bub in a nine days so I am hoping to complete all of L3 before we go. My name is Frannie (well, no it's not but y'know...) and I am a 30 day shred addict.

Hi Ladies, may I say what an inspiration you are! I have been following this thread with much anticipation! Now it is my turn. Does anyone know a site where I can download the dvd and then burn it on to a disk so I can "watch" it from my living room and not the computer? TIA

Green-ish.........sorry completed programme - just started done Day 5. I am very overweight and huffing and puffing, begging for those seconds to go in. It is very hard work. Havent sweated so much in my life. Yes achey too but once I have conpleted the section, wow, what a sense of achievement. If I can do it - nearer 60 than 50 then so can you. Cylone T has been my Ms Motivator and Inspiration - just following the thread made me get the dvd. and NO I have not met her and I dont think she is on commission! Lol! Bet now she wishes she was!

With apologies for not reading very much of these threads at all...have many of you started the program really overweight (15kg+) and really unfit, seen it through and survived?? I have the DVD on it's way and REALLY want to do something about my fitness, however I do need to be able to move enough to do school runs and pick up the baby. ;) I am overweight and really unfit, not done much of anything except eat for the past 5 years. I have found it tough but after about day 5 it gets a bit easier... I'm just taking it slow and will progress onto level 2 when I feel ready not after 10 days.

You do not have to go full speed from the start; the program gives you two levels; Anita for beginners and Natalie for the more fit people. Just start slow and take your time and it will be okay.

I couldn't do yesterday because I had to entertain my guest, but I did level 2 day 1 today, and I'm back with Anita, it's oh so hard. I was pleased because I had the hang on the first level, but now I feel like I have started over again, hopefully by day 3 or 4 it will be better. Well done CycloneT, you are my motivator too. note to myself: I will be shredded by this summer and have a killer body, I just have to keep at it (x30)

Motivation then...........you are encouraging those who might have slipped by the wayside to keep going, as I have been watching the thread. Managed to get the dvd from the UK and join in. So thank you for that. I'm very overweight, past my half century and needed a bit of a push. Hoping like the snail, to win the race eventually:) Great start :)

Level 1 Day 7 done but I ate my own weight in pasta at lunch today, so I'm sure all the good has been cancelled out :( Better to cancel it out than to have just blown your daily calorie count.
