3 stone is my overall goal, I'm thinking of joining SW next week (or when they have an offer on) so I guess maybe I should start low for Jan, how about 7lb for Jan? Is that too ambitious?
Oh gosh I have to lose 3 stone too so perhaps I could join too after all. I was thnking it was only for people looking to lose a pound or two.
Can you add me in please then ben ben I need to lose around 3 stone possibly even more.
:beer:
Would like to aim for 1stone but more likely to do less so lets say 7 - 9 lb
Make £200 by end of January... £20.42/£200
Grocery Challenge £200 pm Jan £0/£200
January no spend days - 1/310 -

Well if you're trying to get rid of Danni then put me down for 7lb. Happy to help0 -
I will add you to the list Superpup :T
I've just been trying to work through a few bits from my to do list, one fo which was sorting out my breakdown cover. I got the renewal form a couple of weeks ago, it is £38 for the year. I checked on quidco and could get it for £31 plus £5 cashback, so phoned up the company I'm with and they agreed to reduce it to £28, which makes it £2 worse off overall but saves me the hassle of cancelling / joining a new company / waiting for cahsback to track etc, so one quick phonecall saved me an easy tenner :T
Now to try and get a few other bits crossed off ....Mortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Hi BenBen,
I'm usually a lurker but I am coming out of the depths of the Internet to join your challenge if I may?
I am aiming to lose 70lb this year so I am aiming for 7lb a month for 10 months.
I also aim to go to Zumba class every week.
So please could you put me down for 7lb in January and 4 Zba classes.
I will weigh in on Monday.

Well hello Benben....
KeepingMotivated suggested to me that this may be a diary that I could relate to and that I may find inspiring, and how very right.
I've spent the past 2 days completely neglecting my family/os/debtpaying to read your diary and learn your life story.
Fantastic - hope you don't mind me joining in. I couldn't bear not to stay updated.
I desperately need to lose weight (I'm getting married in August) but really have not had my lbm there yet. Small steps and all that.Ninja Saving Turtle0 -
