Very well said, my lovely! I feel exactly the same! I've been talking about losing weight for about 18 months now and I've started a 'regime' of diet/exercise/not eating/whatever which has lasted two or three days then I've given up and gone back to the wine and cake! This time I really am committed to getting the weight off and keeping it off. It's not going to be easy, but in the end it'll be worth it! I'm definitely not giving up, and Shred is just the start of that commitment - I might have the odd rest day here and there (haven't really exercised since last October so my body is in shock! lol) but I'm definitely seeing it through to the end.
This site is a totally amazing place for support and motivation, as well as keeping you on the straight and narrow. I'm so glad I found it!
I did my measurements this morning (stupidly forgot before I started yesterday). Not sure if I'm brave enough to put them online as I was pretty shocked by them! I'm worried about what the scales told me this morning but I've drunk loads more water than I normally do over the past couple of days and along with doing 30DS, I think my body is just retaining water.
