    Hi all,
    I really want to do the 100 day challenge again ... is it ok to stick with this thread or is there another one hanging about? I couldn't see anything and just assumed that everyone is doing it month by month ... I want to challenge myself to the full 100 days!! Which would take me up to the 5th of July ... however I have just realised I have an exam on the 15th June, so maybe I will make it 70 days with an option to extend to 100 days if I feel up for it!!!
    I'm giving up purchasing diet coke, crisps and chocolates (but other people can buy them for me) and not having any McDonalds at all. I will also limit by coffee purchases to one morning a week - this should help with losing the pounds and saving the pounds! :-)
    Good luck to all!

  • Hi Marru

    Think we are just sticking with this thread as not many people are posting.

    It is now the April Challenge as we are continuing.

    Thanks

  • I'm rubbish at posting due to work and i feel guilty about spending time on internet when oh is home. I thought I would say that I bought no treats at all during March but bought dessert for us the other day 1 day is not bad for me as it was pretty much every other day.
  • How are you all getting on? I think I've stuck to my pledges.... have been eating out not even once a week! Cut up all my credit cards now so haven't touched them for a couple of months, not bought any toiletries and just announced my second green week in a row!!

    Well done psycho!

    You're doing very well with all your pledges - inspirational with the green weeks!

    I'm doing ok with the make up and toilettries part - was tempted by the philosophy TSV but switched it off and ignored it and didn't buy it!

    Will be avoiding beauty day on Sun too by keeping very busy and not watching QVC all day

    Had a takeaway this week for the first time in over a year - not feeling let down by this as it's not a problem for me

  • Well done on turning it off!!! I'm not great with will power. Luckily I haven't had temptation thrown my way so it's easy to avoid.

    If it's your first this year you have nothing to feel bad about x

    I've done well so far - no unnecessary purchases ... and no succombing to late night McDonalds runs!

    Only 57 days to go (for me)! Can't believe I've gotten through 13 days already :)
