    Hi ladies, thanks for the messages :A

    Really busy week at work, basically been work and bed on repeat since Monday - and think next week will be the same :eek:

    Stuck to the Slim Fast until Wednesday but haven't lost any weight - but haven't put any on either!

    Washing machine is fixed although I haven't tried it yet - £20 so not too bad as long as it works/stays working!

    Have been a bit spendy with unplanned food but not bought anything else or been out - too busy for shopping or socialising so no spending!

    Have been asked to do a 10k run for charity in June :eek: I have never done any running but am seriously considering it as something to aim for - and maybe get some weight off :)

    Weightloss : 0/34lbs

  • seconded on the SlimFast, I am also stuck at the moment but as you say, at least we haven't put anything on! :)

    10k run sounds like a great target, I think it's good to have a definite goal to work towards especially with fitness/exercisey things. Good luck and I look forward to hearing what you decide and how you get on! :T

    I have had all my statements through this week so have just updated my signature. Steady progress with my debts, should go under £20k next month and will be able to pay off Barclaycard when I get paid at the end of the month - which was one of my January targets :j

    The other target was to lose a stone :o

    Same here with the lack of weight loss!

    Good on your for doing a 10K, I can't run for toffee - well I could but then I'd just gain more weight.....
