    Thanks for updating the chart Mr B. Is it cheating to start the weighing on the 1st but the money generating now?

    I have had £60 cashback from a mobile deal and £50 Xmas money this week - can I count that? I am also due payback from a family member for Xmas presents I bought which would be another £90ish. I am on a roll - yeeha! The lbs are going to be a bit more difficult for a greedy biatch like me :-(

  • Its a week since I said I would go for it but I haven't weighed in today - I usually weigh in on a Tuesday so I will stick to that and update then.
    As for making money I have put some of the kids peppa pig toys on ebay, currently going for over a tenner with 3 days to go. Will update money on a Tuesday aswell.
    Thanks Mr B for taking the time to tun this.

  • Can I join for the weight loss only? Most unlikely to be able to make much savings, certainly not £2000 as that is way over half my income for 4 months.

    Too embarrassed to post starting weight :eek:, but will start on Sunday with 'more workouts' 6 week challenge on the Wii.

    Good luck to everyone and thanks Mr B for having the idea and getting us all motivated :T

    Evenin', all!

    If there's space, can you put me down for 28lbs and £1000, starting on Monday 2nd January and finishing 30th April?
    If there isn't space, the info's in my sig, I'll come round and annoy you anyway:D

    I'll be off to do some washing up and see what's in the fridge. Apart from the bottle of B@iley's, that is.

    Hi MrB, just realised I haven't declared for your spreadsheet - I started at 12st 4lb, and I would like to be 10st 4lb, but that makes me a size 8 so a healthier 10st 13lb and a happy 10 is perhaps more realistic. 2 grand is probably very ambitious but it might make me do something about my vague plans for an e-book and so on.

    Thanks

  • Hi everyone, weigh in today- and I am still 11 stone 4lbs, but quite pleased with that as this last week included Christmas Day and Boxing Day and I did pig out so at least I haven't got any extra to shift...

    I've meal planned for the next few days to try and get back on track again after the last couple of weeks with festivities. This will start again next week as the fruit and veg intake increases as normality returns. I'm trying to get where I want to by the end of Feb so I'll see how it goes with the final few pounds to shed. No weigh in yet - will weigh in next week and then towards the end of the month for hopefully some more to come off.

    I've also had a think about what I can fleabay/sell - also thinking about the some cds and books too to go alongside some furniture so I can clear a room and get it decorated at some point over the next year

    Reporting in as I am UP £2 :) I think the £2000 is beyond me but I have made a start. As I usually weigh in on sunday morning I think I will also report any money gains then from now on - unless the gains are huge and I cant contain myself.
