Ok, here's my challenge that I'm gonna set myself, anyone who wants to join me can.
Starting from 1st August......
I'm going to start a healthy eating and healthy money challege.
So you go about your healthy eating and excercise during the week, and at the end of the week, weigh yourself.
However many pounds you lose, you put into a sealed tin. The more pounds you lose, the pounds you gain...and maybe by this time next summer you can either treat youself with the money you have saved or help pay off your debts....as well as looking great.
What we all think to this idea or has this been done b4?!
