    Hi everyone!

    Ages since I've posted on here!!! (feels like anyway!)

    Had an epic fail with the weight, here's what happened through July (I seriously don't know what caused that blip in the final week...!):

    Weigh Ins:
    01 Jul: 210 --- Start
    08 Jul: 208.5 - Lost 1.5
    15 Jul: 208.6 - Gain 0.1
    22 Jul: 208.1 - Lost 0.5
    29 Jul: 210.9 - Gain 2.8 :eek:

    So, for July that's -0.9/7 and £476/£476 total!

    For August, I am going for £476 money again as always, and I think 5.9 pounds in weight loss (to make the target 205). I've started walking again and plan to get properly in to my Shred DVD when I can (I know I won't be able to do it every day but I can try and do as much as I can).

    Haven't had chance to read through yet but will probably be the weekend before I get chance, sorry :(

  • :D Hello everyone! I'm sorry i've been absent, was ds2 birthday last friday so didn't have time to weigh in as we went out so early, then saturday we went to a fun day & sat night to a friend's house and then london sun-tues lol so was busy busy! had a great time though and thoroughly recommend thriller at the theatre! i was ever so slighty (steaming) drunk and decided everyone there needed to join in with all the songs :o so spent the entire evening dancing and singing and encouraging everyone else to do the same :rotfl:thank god i didn't know anyone haha!

    Anyway so my july totals are 400/400 saved (although all spent again pmsl on a new car but still...) and 4lb/6lb lost -didn't weigh in on friday so won't know if i ever made it to target lol!

    For August I am away for nearly 3 weeks :eek: so most of my debt busting will be done already and also for weight loss it will be mainly before i go away rather than whilst i am away :D but i would like to lose 5lb this month to get me under 10 stone. And i would like to save £400 for AUGUST!

    This month already i have saved £250 into the school fees fund :) so only £150 left to go! :T good luck everyone for august! And if i don't get much of a chance to get on here after the 12th - end of month ish then it's because i have no wifi where i'm going lol, and will update a total at end of month! first weigh in for me is tomorrow though so hoping to stay the same after my bad weekend! :cool:
