ABOUT ME!
My name is Emma, I'm a 32 year old mother with an 11 month old daughter and I am about to embark on the rather intimidating sounding 30 Day Shred, the exercise regime by Jillian Michaels.
I have been looking at this workout for some time now and so far have been using 3 main excuses not to do it.
After a discussion with my doctor it was agreed that I could start this exercise plan and do the modified exercises at first. My physiotherapist pointed out that although of course my hip and pelvis will hurt after starting this regime, in the long run it will strengthen and help my pelvis and potentially eliminate the problems I'm having entirely! Yay! So with the very important medical advice under my belt I am ready and willing to make this change and become the me I've always wanted to be. Realistically I know that I won't reach my goals in just 30 days time. 30 days is nowhere near enough time to lose my excess weight but it is a start and the start of something I hope will become as much a part of my daily routine as brushing my teeth.
This website is my way of getting it out there that these kinds of exercise plans are not just for those who want to tone up their already small bodies, or just for those who only have a stone or 2 to lose. I want to champion those who like me are not just overweight and unfit but clinically obese and dangerously unfit! I want people in my position to see me do it and to feel inspired and motivated. It is possible and I want to prove it, right here, in public in a warts-and-all diary of my journey. I am ashamed of my size, I am embarrassed....... but I want this to be a place where people can leave their shame at the door and find new friends who can discuss their weight loss issues with no judgement and no embarrassment.
Please come on this journey with me. Become a member of my forum and share your stories and find motivation and support.
This is your invitation!
I AM NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS DVD, I AM NOT BEING PAID TO REVIEW IT. I AM JUST A WOMAN MOTIVATED TO TRY IT AND SEE!

- I am clinically obese, not just a little overweight but I AM VERY FAT. I am so ashamed to have reached the weight I am and it's a huge thing for me to broadcast it online and I'm just not ready yet to say what my starting weight was.... but I will eventually. One day in the near future I will feel confident and comfortable enough to tell the world what my start weight was and I know that when that day comes it will be a huge phsycological milestone! I have spent so many years feeling disgusted by my weight and I have learned to hide the numbers from everyone. I had convinced myself that people my size should not do intense exercise regimes like this.
- I had Symphasis Pelvis Dysfunction during pregnancy, which even 11 months post partum I am still receiving weekly physiotherapy at the hospital because even a slow walk into town leaves me in pain for the rest of the day.
- I am extremely unfit. I always assumed a workout like this would bring on a heart attack in someone as out of shape as me!
