Benbens moneymaking adventure

I did the photo thing last year, I lost 16lbs then but have put over half a stone back on too.

I am planning on kick starting my weight loss next week too, maybe I should take some more pics as well.

I want to lose at least 10lbs maybe a stone.

yep i'm aiming for about a stone over the holidays, and to make about a grand too :eek:

LOL I have 2 birthday cakes to eat! Getting OH to take the bigger one his mum brought me into work but I am going to have a slice first.

I am starting as of Monday 20th as I have a hectic week next week, no healthy stuff in and no monies to buy any!

I want to lose a stone too. Of all the challenges I have set myself this year, shifting the weight has been by far the hardest. Only lost 3lb in six months of trying :mad:, and that could be put back on in one naughty weekend (like the one i've just had ...)

All the best with your school holiday goals BenBen.

All 5 ebay buyers have paid up and all parcels are now on their way I have also cleaned out the inside of the car ready for its service this week. Tonight I must sort out and buy the new car insurance and also get my stuff ready for tomorrows walk with school.

Today has been a nsd except for the ebay postage, but technically the buyers paid for that not me

I weighed myself this morning and my starting weight was 11 stone 1.5lbs I'm trying to shift the 1.5lbs by friday, so I'll have a stone to aim for in the holidays

Good luck with your money and weight target over the holidays BB. I started at the gym last week as I could see my middle age spread just expanding. Last week I lost 4lb and I aim to shift 1 stone and 1lb in total.

I'm 11 stone trying to get to 10 stone in the holidays :rotfl:. What strategy are you going to adopt?

benbenandme

Hmm, not sure of a strategy, I know I'll struggle because I wont be at work so it will be easier to pick at food I def need to try and include some form of exercise each day, stuff like swimming with ds, walks in the forest / beach, playing footie with ds, hopefully a few visits to the gym (childcare dependent) I can be very good at the planning bit of losing weight, its the actual losing it I struggle with :rolleyes:

I have sorted my car insurance and have had a bath, ds is showing no signs whatsoever of going to sleep though :rolleyes: I need to sort a few bits out for work tomorrow but am feeling quite snuggly on the sofa now and dont feel like moving
