"£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!
