IA's Lose the belly, bum (and debt) challenge in 2008

Options
Right this is my challenge for 2008. I'm sick of being frumpy and looking pregnant even when my youngest is nearly a year old. So as well as fighting the debt.. I'm going to be fighting the flab as well.
I've bought Gabby Logan's Twin results exercise dvd online for £3.59 inc delivery
(latest link is here http://www.101cd.com/101CD/DVD_Product.aspx/--Gabby-Logan-Twin-Results--?productid=DVD-8240173-PX )
and my plan is to do an hour a day every day, and then take my measurements every week.

Feel free to join in and good luck to everyone who does. Don't forget to add it to your sigs!!!!

My measurements at the start (28th December)

Waist - 32"
Belly - 38"
Hips/bum - 41.5"

Wish me luck!

    I'm in, so's mother. Might get a Tao Bo dvd if I can find one on offer, liked those before, plus I have my Kinetic PS2 game.

    Waist and belly is the same thing surely? I'm baffled...

    I can't find a tape measure! Either it's hiding, invisible or I've had too much sherry
