Pound for a Pound Challenge

"£1 for a lb Challenge"
The Challenge is to save a pound (or more if you desire) for every pound of weight you lose for the remainder of the year!
There are 22 weeks left for the year. That's potentially 22lbs (or 44lbs if you are really trying hard!!) to lose and £22(£110 if saving a fiver/£220 if saving a tenner) to save for a special treat!!!
If you want to join me then I'll add you to the list!! Let me know your goals...Total to Lose and how much you will pay yourself for each LB you lose!
I'll update the first post every Monday with your progress towards your goal!

    Oh hell I should join this, I don't want to get down to a what is considered normal weight for me because I have never weighed that in my life so I will go for the 18 and take it from there! £5 sounds a round number too!

    Well my baby was 2 last Friday - very stubborn spare tyre I have ;)
  • It took me two years to get back to normal after the first one :j as soon as I was happy in a size 12, I found out I was pregnant again. I actually have some clothes that I bought the DAY before I found out with tags still on them :rotfl:

    My DD is one in September so I'd better get moving!
