Everyday for the 30 days!!
! I suppose you can take breaks if you like. I didn't break on my first round but now I break whenever I feel like it! I've been a bit quiet on here recently, but I've been going to the gym lots and have a new addiction to spinning classes!!! I went to three last week, and signed up for three again next week. I'm also squeezing in regular sessions at the gym. (I got bored of doing Insanity!)
Hope everyone else has a sweaty great day!xx

Wow, it's a long time since I posted on this thread! I've been really good, though: 30 mins exercise bike then weights 3 times a week, at least 2 pilates classes a week plus one to 2 30-minute sessions on the treadmill. I have miles more stamina and as for strength, pilates is amazing! Don't waste time getting your arms and legs stronger, if your core is strong everything else can cope!
I feel well and truly up for skiing this Christmas now. I thought I wouldn't be able to, because of the blood-thinning drugs I'm on, but they're being so slow to kick in that I think my blood will still be normal thickness next week.
One fly in the ointment: the gym I joined in September has been sold to a budget chain from the end of the year - the price is better but they don't offer classes. Moreover they are not expected to re-open till March. So when I get back from holiday and need to kick-start my food and exercise programme I shan't have a gym to go to. Oh woe is me, I might have to invest in one of these dvd's some of you are using - any recommendations? xx

Unashamedly bumping this! So who completed the pre-Christmas challenge, then? I'm damn sure I did and what a difference it made! Not so much as a stiff muscle when I skied for a week over the festive period! A big pat on the back for anyone else who stayed the course.
I'm all set for a new year challenge, once the children are back at school. It won't be so easy, as my gym shut on new year's eve, but I'm determined to get back into the groove. Who's with me??

I'm back to the gym as of Friday just gone and with my colleague, i have devised a plan for going ahead.
My aim is to get my body fat percentage down to approx 24% by Easter which is something I can measure through dukan and exercise. I will be checking my current % tomorrow and will update but I think I'm looking at a 10% loss.
Anyone interested in joining me?
I've used this table as my guide:
