Oh, and maybe made a few people laugh along the way.[/QUOTE]

You certainly have done that for me :beer:

Well Mr B, thank you for dragging me kicking & screaming into the 21st century. Kindle for pc app downloaded, plus your book (:eek:, crikey, that's some imagination :eek::o:D) and a load of free books, so need to give it all a go as have been toying with idea of a Kindle from Santa (if there are any left.........) (Santa's that is, not Kindles)

What? There is going to be a Santa shortage? Must get down to Arg&s and buy up the lot then sell for silly profit on Eb*Y :rotfl::rotfl:

Look at the positives, learn to translate negative into positive (in a 'stress really suits me' fashion) but your health is important. Running and physical activity is not only about loosing weight it is about keeping (?) your sanity - well, this is how I do it anyway.

I very rarely disagree with KC but on this point I am on the other side of the universe - the fact that you know that you can loose a stone in five weeks means nothing. You have to loose it and keep it off; then loose some more.

Which brings me to MG's point - long term success in both health and fitness and personal finance is about different kind of balances. It is not a sequence of sprints - it is a triathlon.

Btw, you are doing well - I admire you greatly for that. But dropping exercise may be a mistake. It is a different matter that I think you were pushing running too hard - you said you love it, but if you loved it enough you could't give it up. It is an addiction.

Oh, and I just bought your book - will have a look and let you know.

Yes I know - I'm resisting but I know the temptation will be too much though I said I would never succumb to a kindle or any incarantion of it. The down load thingy has already been down loaded so not long now before I completely capitulate

Have you seen this one? Looks good and sound like a great idea.

:kisses3::kisses3: to you, FW, and MrB both

Some people don't have the energy for all of it at once, FW! And tho I totally agree with you about the long term reality of needing to keep on losing weight, people have to go at their own pace - if you read what MrB's been doing, in such a short time, I think he's done great.

I'm with FW here.
You could focus on three things;

1. Writing
2. Running
3. Debt reduction

Post off your records in little chunks say 5 records a week.
If you love your running surely you will fit it in somewhere. You seem to feel better for it.
