    annie... is there a thread on here for that or just a personal challenge?
    Personal - but I'm willing to join one if someone sets it up (can't cope with running two) there is a weight loss thread somewhere called the 2lb challenge I think. Let me know if you start one or find one

  • heh... i'd have no idea what targets to set up.

    i'll go one on one in a personal challenge with you if you like... my aim is to lose 2 stones.

  • I'm unreasonably excited about this! I guess it is because it is about regaining control. I have been rummaging about the house today digging things out to ebay & my OH was ROLLING HIS EYES at me!!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts :j

  • Yeah I'm up for the challenge. Not gonna set any targets for myself except to raise as much money as I possibly can.

    I wanted to check how much I'd have to raise each week to hit each target, they are as follows:

    Bronze £38.73
    Silver £77.19
    Gold £115.38

    Gold looks pretty daunting doesn't it?!
