  • Well I haven't done any exercise till today (2.5 mile walk) so I haven't lost any weight. But I finish my current job this week and have a week off next week, during which I'll be doing 3 Sports Pilates classes. That includes the regular class that i signed up for, plus 2 classes that I've missed in the mad rush to get stuff completed before I finish in my job.

    The good news is that with my new job, i'll be car sharing with a friend who works 1.5 miles from where I'll be based. So that's a built in 3 miles per day walk on the days he's driving.

    The savings are creeping up. I have £97.48 so far, and I'm waiting on £8 from a mystery shop and around £60 from online games. I'll include them in my total once the cash actually arrives in my account.

    Thanks once again to Mr B for the challenge and recording it on his spreadsheet.

    Er, yeah, the spreadsheet... I'll get around to it again soon (stares at floor and shuffles uncomfortably). Been digging and weeding most of the day and it's a damn sight more fun than running. Be interesting to see if this week is as crazy as last - have a sneaking suspicion that the red wine, comfort eating and bizarre sleep patterns might *just* have slightly added to the stress. Now I'm full of vegetables and virtue I wonder if the molehills will still turn into mountains. Can't wait for the weigh-in tomorrow - just hoping some of that 5lb gift yesterday has stayed off.

    Dont worry about the spread sheet Mr B as we can all keep track of our losses(or gains!) and our own financial targets.
    Have a good week.

    2 lb weight loss this week, still in the right direction :)

    £19.53 saved over next 3 months on new phone/internet deal so I've added that to my total.

    I love reading how everyone is doing. Keep up the good work!

    No idea on the money front but will try and work it out! Very happy about the weight loss. Perhaps I need to explain how I am able to loose it so quickly and I feel a bit of a cheat posting in this thread but I have had major surgery and in preparation for the surgery I did have to loose a certain amount of weight in a short period of time. The weight will continue to come off quickly as I have a lot to loose but am on a very strictly controlled diet for at least another 4 weeks. Once that time is over it's all up to me and thats when I am hoping this thread will be my inspiration.
