    Hi Taxi

    Sorry to see you're leaving the MFiT challenge :( I understand though. I'm hardly making any headway myself and feel a bit of a fraud even being on there!

    Well done on all the debt busting and fingers crossed for a successful weigh-in :)

    A tip for drinking more water - somethig I really struggled with but docs kept telling me I had to do. I keep a glass on bathroom windowledge and every time I nip to loo and relief myself of water :o - I top up again there and then ;). I now drink much more water when I'm at home than when I'm working.

    You sure you don't want to sort my debts out for me Taxi - the rate you get through them they'd be gone by next month :A- will take me till next year :(

    I'm back and have had my tea.

    3lbs off for me and 2lbs for DS....91/2lbs me and 10lbs DS in two weeks so we are happy with that.

    Macgirl..I gave up on the MFI3 as it'll be too depressing and negative to me being further and further behind for a whole year at least.So I'll set my own goals as soon as my other debt is gone.I still have my big plan with no negative feelings then.I know I'm doing well as my other debts are going down.Just don't want negativity IYSWIM.

    Hi KC ...not sure what to reward myself with.Will have to have a think about that one.My biggest reward will be the freedom from stress when I'm fit and healthy and debtfree and the choices it gives me in life....that will be a fantastic time...really cannot think of anything at the moment to reward myself with.

    Sorry Milann..you snuck in there when I was posting.I'm quite good at drinking water..I always have bottles of it with me when I'm out and about and bottles of it in the fridge at home...but that's a great tip about the bathroom.I'm drinking a bottle of water as we speak actually.

    Sorry no can do with your debts..you'll have finished paying them before I pay mine..lol

    Thanks Hypno...so glad as it is the week I gave up smoking so was worried that I would overeat but managed to stick to my points so am really happy about that.
