    I weigh 1.25lbs less this morning which just shows how much differenc a morning weigh-in makes! I mijjight switch to Monday mornings...
  • Nothing to report on the money saving for me at the mo. Payday is end of month and I only got to sending my invoices out last week, so once they are paid I may have a bit more to add as well.

    Got on scales yesterday and I have lost another 1lb which now makes me 12st 6lb. I am going to have to up the out put and decrease the input somemore if I am going to make 28lb by the end of this challenge:D
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

    I am seriously impressed with everyone's totals - or more accurately, stupified by the larger ones (must list more on Ebay) and sympathetically cheering those who have not yet disappeared over the horizon but are still a thunder of purposeful (and not so purposeful :D) feet ahead of me.

    I'm not sure how accurate my weigh in is as I couldn't weigh at my usual time but I'm down 0.5 lbs - which I'll add to my sig in a minute. Weight now 9st 9lbs. I've still got to add up last week's money savings but I have a note of them on my diary. They aren't huge but then I haven't spent much either so that's all to the good.

    I have been an absolute angel all week and am so thrilled to have lost another 5 pounds! It was such hard work but that weigh in result is sooooo worth it. Makes my total 9 pounds lost already - I really need to lose more than 28 pounds so I know the big number losses aren't going to happen every week.

    Also got £100 from a current account switchover, a bit of money left in the bank from last month's payday (unheard of!) and some more ebay sales make a total savings of £473 which is so needed as I have £6000 on credit cards to pay off :o

    Nice to see you back Mr B - definitely think we can make life easier by just updating our signatures. I know this thread alone motivates me enough without the spreadsheet.

    Well done everyone else out there - every little bit helps!

  • well finally some good news to report. I managed a 5lb weight loss this week and an extra £300 to my total. I finally got round to weighing in my gold, which mainly consisted of broken earrings and a necklace which I no longer wanted, I could not believe the small amount was worth so much. Anyway the money is going to be more use to me, than the items sat broken around the house :j

    Keep up the good work everyone, it's great to hear how everyone is getting on.
