    Hello All,

    Would you have me too?! This sounds like a fab idea! I was only muttering the other day that I need to lose a few lbs (well quite a few actually)! And my debts could always do with losing a few £'s as well :rotfl:

    I would like to pleadge £200 off my debts and 7lbs off my waistline. Half a stone in a month sounds quite sensible to me. I think I read if it comes off slowly and steadily you are more likely to keep it off in the long run. Here's hoping!

    Hello Orangesmartie and Eyebright

    Welcome aboard!! I've added your pledges to the first post :)

    Yep that's right eyebright, little and often for both weight and debts I think is the best way to go!

  • Hi All
    Can I join too? I really do need to lose weight and pay off my debts badly. I will pledge for July:
    Lose 8lbs
    Pay off £1000 of my Credit Card - this will be my last big wage as I go part time in August. Want to make the most of it and not fritter it away.

    I am notoriously bad at sticking to weight loss challenges but I will give it a go.

    Well I've had another good day with eating fairly healthily and not as much as I have been eating in the past. I've managed to walk for at least 30 mins as well and no alcohol - although I feel like I really could do with a nice cold glass of white wine right now, but with none in the house and me being too [STRIKE]settled[/STRIKE]lazy :o to walk to the shop I won't have any today.

    I should really do an exercise DVD tonight, but feeling tired so going to have an early night and hope I can get to sleep while OH is out working, else I won't be much good tomorrow for work.
