    Another lb gone! So down to 13stone 10 now. I doubt I will loose another 2lb by Sunday but it's worth a try I guess!!

    I will update the first post when I get to work :) xxx

  • Haven't been around much as i've just started a new job and i'm visiting all my bases and doing inductions etc.

    I've lost another 2lb woo but i'll do a proper update on Friday.

    No more money on my debts this month and none next month because my previous employer has completely forgotten to pay me this month and it is like getting blood out of a stone to get this rectified. They seem to feel it is more acceptable to leave me without any money whatsoever while they work out how much to pay me because 'that's better than over paying me and having to reclaim it'. Tos$$ers. Its been so stressful and made worse by the fact that i'm having to drive around the south west for my new job, hotel stays, food etc.

    Anyway, well done to everyone else on their losses and monetary gains.

  • Hi lovely people hope everyone is well.
    Got weighed tonite and I lost another 1/2lb taking my total weight loss for July to 10lb.
    Really pleased as I would have been happy to just maintain this week after my over indulgences last weekend.:)
    Rdchick will we be doing another challange for August? Oh please, really hope so.;)

  • Starting Weight: 18st 6lb
    15th July: 17st 13lb
    22nd July: 17st 12lb
    29th July: 17st 11lb
    Total loss 7lb

    Not good enough, need more effort.

    So for August i'm going to aim for 10lb again. Can't promise anything for the debts this month, living out of the cupboards as it is due to the whole salary !!!! up.

    11stone 10lbs! Wow! I've lost another 2lbs. So that's not bad I pledged 6lbs and I've lost 4lbs this month.
    My SHRED DVD arrived today so I'm hoping for better things for August.

    I've only managed to pay half of my pledged amount for July but I'm heading in the right direction so I'm happy with that.

    So, as my school reports said, Must try harder.

    Well done everyone, it looks like we've had a great start for our first month. :T :T :T:T
