The Ultimate Incentive proposed! Time for an ultimate challenge...

Dinah93

Morning ladies! Weekly weigh in time! Well from last weeks 10 stone, I'm now a happy 9 stone 10lbs, meaning a -4lb loss. This is mostly just that last week I was all bloated with TOTM, so I might still aim for my original target of 8 stone 11 by the end of the challenge which was set back in July, but I won't be too dissapointed if I only meet my technical stone in 12 weeks level of 9 stone.

So angry, the vendor of that house had dissconnected the leccy so we couldn't look around, hoping to go back at the weekend.

Averaging at £43 a day, won't do it most days I bet! So far today I've done onepoll... so thats 15p closer. To do list for this evening:

6 Dooyoos Nope, requested 9 products to be added though
[STRIKE]Scratchies[/STRIKE]
Write up the remaining stitches (rolled hem, bendy curve, stupid trouser stitch, and puffy sleeve) in my homework book Argh! I hate my printer! Typed them all up, but couldnt print, so need to do that tonight. Also found loads and loads more hand outs that ned to be put in the book, so thats tonight and tomorrow night taken care of
Check on onepoll again Forgot, bad start
Package up the two or three things from amazon/RiSi that have gone. I'm gonna fail this challenge aren't I?!

Not a long list as homework will take ages, but hopefully will leave me some time thursday and friday evenings to crack on a bit.

Good grief. Bad first night.

On the plus side I recieved a £47 refund from an Etsy item that never arrived (to mums paypal so mine doesnt gobble it up on the huge deficit due to them refunding a perfectly reasonable laptop). AND NIM got through £56 from gapbuster for last months MS, so thats a start, although none of it is being counted until it hits the appropriate bank account for my challenge fund.

Hello! Am all happy to report a 1.5 lbs loss at the weigh in! Congrats on the 4lbs - makes up for that unexplained gain a couple of weeks ago! Will probably be reporting a gain after this weekend though, got a suitcase full of Cinny's Brownies and Twink's Hobnobs, and some Hotel Chocolat chocs that OH got us Never mind though eh?

Don't worry about not getting too much done, it was the first night and you were out not looking at a house and everything..

Right I'm off in the shower and going to start packing. I LOVE not being at work!

LOVE hotel chocolat, had a nibble on a box of tasting club chocs last night (nb, must remember to cancel that!), making the weight loss even more extraordinary. Somewhere along the way my maths has failed, as I'm 9 stone 10lbs now, which is lower than I was before the 4lb gain last week, so maybe its a 5lb loss?! Anyway, counting it as 4lbs.

Have a lovely weekend in Bath, will add you to the chart now. Its not the neastest chart but I'm not technical and its the best I could do!

Well done on the weight loss ladies! Maybe I can monitor how much weight I have put on while pregnant. Lol! Must get the battery fixed for my weighing scales as I would like to know what weight I am.

Have a great time in Bath Tete. It is a fabulous place!

Well done Dinah and Tete on the weight loss! I have stayed the same It's my Mum's birthday today so we are having curry and cake.. I'm sure that will help! :rolleyes:

I'm trying to be positive though - I have had my first veg box delivered today so after tonight I am going to eat healthily, walk more and get rid of this stupid weight!

That's very annoying about the house Dinah! At least the weekend isn't too far away.

Enjoy your goodies Tete! Sounds like you'll have a great time

STS isn't bad Zig, just view this coming week as a fresh challenge.

Tete_en_l'Air

Haha CMD - you'll have rather a dramatic loss at the end of it though!! I think it mst be hard being pregnant, wieght-wise, must be so easy to pile it on, and at the same time you don't want to watch what you eat TOO much because the baby needs strength..

Zig, that's not bad at all, have a bit of a blow-out tonight then start again tomorrow

Money News!

The evil Quidco plan is working. All the extra payments with my friend in Glasgow are coming through as received. Think I am looking at about £17 this morning. Now confirmed at £18.47 for doing nothing! Dinah you need to get onto this idea with NIM. If you had one account you could be getting at least £0.25 per day (plus £0.70 on itsmyview occassionally). If you had a mobile where you don't get charged extra for using the net add another £0.08 and if it adds wifi £0.08 per different connection.

Back News!

Going to take it for a gentle swim this morning to find out how it is feeling about excerise.

Hi Tete,

No, I don't mind putting on some weight. I am very neat so far but have had serious chocolate cravings (not really like me) but I also walk quite a bit so whatever goes on, will go on naturally!

On a really positive note - OH's payslip came. First proper pay in over 2 years. I was so excited and I don't know what to do with the extra money!!! But in reality it will go off one of my store cards, towards our increased rent and also towards baby savings! It feels great that we will have money saved for when the baby arrives so there will be no financial pressure on us then. If I thought I could pay off my debt before the baby arrived I would but that isn't possible, so better to overpay as much as I can and also to have some savings!
