    I'm in the same position pickle - I've got a new credit card that I'm running up money on (at 0% for purchases for 12 months, MSEers!) for this expensive diet that I'm doing, so I'm not counting any payments off that card for this challenge. Hopefully I'll still be able to throw money at the other cards to keep plugging away.
  • i hope the expensive diet isnt lighterlife, because cambridge diet is half the price and just the same but doesnt have the group meetings however if it works for you well done, just a thought if you were thinking of saving but still getting the good affects ... another update since a loan and credit card has been paid... so if i can clear 840 il be in the 58k numbers yippeee....

    No, it's not lighterlife, don't worry. It's a medical diet, hence the expense.
