Another 1.5 loss this morning so a total of 3lbs so far
£419.60 saved so far this month with another 2 sales to add from Amazon today and possibly another £100 regular extra work to add (which will all be saved)
So glad I started this. x0 -
Well I've been secretly joining in. Before the weekend I'd had no booze since Jan 1st and have been trying to limit portion size. I weighed the Sun before last on my innacurate scales and seemed to have gained a few lbs over Xmas. I tried a week later, ie yesterday and appeared to have added 1 and a half stone! My OH tried and he also seemed to have gained a couple of stone despite looking his usual svelte self. So I weighed myself today at the gym, fully clothed with trainers and seem to be about 4lbs less than the last time I was weighed at my GP's surgery in August. Will keep at it and weigh again at the gym each Monday. Will call that 4 lbs off but given the increase at Xmas it could be 6lbs??
I have gained £20 in vouchers and £50 from Yougov. £40 off my bill from Br Gas due to their not keeping 2 appointments and a reduction in a monthly electric bill of £13 for our holiday cottage so x 4 months £52 so in all £162.CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420 -
@mustang1 - great point about the signatures - having the spreadsheet list was a good idea but was also restrictive as it limited the number of participants - and cliques (unintentional though it was) have no place amongst the good people of this forum. Instead of the spreadsheet, at the end of each month I'll post as a message the list of all the participants and their stats to date. Am making dismal progress myself but am hoping all the excellent progress around me can motivate me.2011: 301k in debt and morbidly obese (DFW)

Good Afternoon to all you skinnier savers!
Weigh in day for me and I am this morning at X(X-1) 10.5 which basically means I have lost 12.75lbs in 3 weeks
I'm hoping for a big loss this next week as it is currently just coming to the end of 'that time in the month' and my stomachs feeling bloated but my sides are feeling skinnier!

Another 2¾ hours OT (£28.68) for me today. It's becoming clear I should have no problem hitting the £2k in extra earnings through OT alone - I''m going to keep logging it though as it's an incentive to keep working!Search for Crunchy's Debt Deletion Diary...
