  • Brilliant idea - just what I need! Have been really struggling to stay motivated over the last few weeks (as my diary shows by the very few posts - ooops!)

    Right over the next 12 weeks I will:
    1) drop a dress size (so I don't have to buy a new outfit for my friends wedding in 13 weeks)
    2) Pay back my mum and dad £1145.86:eek:
    3) Halve my post office credit card approx £950:eek:
    4) List on average 4 things a week on ebay (to help declutter my house!)

    Sold a number of things on ebay this last weekend so have just transfered £65.00 from paypal. Once that shows up on my account I'll see if I can round it up to £100 and transfer it to mum and dad.

    Good luck everyone!

    Glad to see everyone is getting on ok
    Sammy step away from those flipping mars bars! I went to the shop this morning to buy Diet coke and there tempting me were Wispa Golds....ahhhh But I resisted as its weigh in tomorrow. early indications show maybe another half a pound (which I am annoyed at considering I have been sooo good all week)

    So first weeks run club done, and I walked to work (which I must add to my list too)

    Hi All!

    Good start to the challenge yesterday, bought a mould to make bath bombs for the girls for xmas and found a whole basket full of stuff to ebay and throw the proceeds at Lex!

    Also polished off the last of the booze in the house last night :rolleyes: but hey, its gone now (even if I do feel a tad wobbly :p)!!

    Aiming for a NSD today, DB is going to walk halfway from school thereby saving petrol and I get some exercise and I found a pair of jeans that need to be returned to Mr T so thats another 20 to throw at Lex :j!!

    Have a good day all xxx

    Everyone is doing so well just one day into the challenge! The only one of my challenges I've done something towards so far is the losing weight one. I walked 3 miles to work yesterday and today and ran 2 miles on my treadmill last night and then did some squats and sit ups. I was quite good on the diet front too apart from pinching a couple of OH's crisps last night. Reading through everyone's progress has really motivated me so thanks to all!

    More progress made today

    have arranged with hubbles that we will run alternate mornings as the eveniing thing just isn't working for us at the moment. Not sure how that will pan out when I finally get a job but will cross that bridge when I come to it...

    Keep at it everyone :beer:
