I dont really get much chance to do the exercises on the wii SH, my DS is always climbing on the board! Well done on your loss, I find it really motivating using the wii to get weighed, I like to see the graph going down.

Hypno, my garden doesnt look much like that now, that is the agents photo taken a year before we bought it. It was very unloved during that year so got a little wild! It is taking us ages to put it right.DFW NERD NO.656 DEBT FREE 24TH NOVEMBER 2010 TOTAL DEBT AUGUST 2007 £39000MFiT T2 NO.56 WE OWN [STRIKE]25%[/STRIKE] 31.5% OF OUR HOUSE SO FAR!0 -

Well done on your weight loss Lunar, I dont think numbers go high enough to work out mine!
Garden looks great - cant wait for summer now to be able to get out into ours (although I fear there may be tigers lurking in the jungle that is currently our back garden!) xxxxxPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

Well after a long absense im back, the inlaws have gone home and I have some free time agan while DS is napping.
The debt is down to 8k! im starting to see a glimmer of light on this journey. Plus OH and I each have £500 in an ISA, so a small safety net is in place. DS has £2000 in his as the child benefit goes in and i top it up £20 a month, plus a little at birthdays and christmas. I hope everyone is OK ill be checking diaries soon.DFW NERD NO.656 DEBT FREE 24TH NOVEMBER 2010 TOTAL DEBT AUGUST 2007 £39000MFiT T2 NO.56 WE OWN [STRIKE]25%[/STRIKE] 31.5% OF OUR HOUSE SO FAR!0 -

Hi Lunar - glad to see you survived the inlaws!

Starting to feel like the debt busting is going so slowly right now, I keep telling my self that in just 8 months we will be debt free. Somehow it still feels like ages. I need to get motivated so we can make bigger overpayments. Im really looking forward to getting some proper savings and getting stuck into the MFiT/2 challenge. At least we are not paying any interest on the debts, and the interest free periods will see us through till the debt is gone.
A little weight lost again, managed to just sneek under the 36 mark in my BMI, slowly but surly I will get rid of the weight.

Good news for me this weekend, I won £50 of M&S vouchers!!! avoiding the temptation to shop I have put them away for christmas as that will cover my 3 grandparents gifts this year. Never won much before so it was a huge suprise.
I am still batch cooking, which is going really well. My shopping bills are under control, especially because I have started harvesting fruit and veg from the garden. Nothing beats the sight of DS running to the hanging strawberies every morning, I think the tantrums will start when they finish cropping.
On the weight front almost 2lbs lost since last time, BMI as follows
