  • I've had a tiny topcashback payout of just over a quid and an 11p voucher to spend at supermarket all of which added to total. Pathetic I know but until I can gain some motivation to start Ebay I'm never really going to get anywhere. The weight loss is not happening. Since I put that lot back on, it's just stumped me. Or swamped me or something! I'm not even going to think about losing weight now until I feel a bit happier. Any day now!! Kids trips are costing me a bomb and the holiday I have coming up has been a bad idea too. I never thought knocking as much off my CC total as I did last month would give me such a buzz, so much so I resent any money I now have to spend or I'm committed to spending. That must be a shifting of the cogs in my brain. If I link not eating to saving money we might get somewhere!

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Can I just mention that I'm finding it easier to declutter to make money than I am to lose weight?

    Now if I did that, I'd think it was a displacement activity... :D

    ... and a totally worthwhile one at that! Nice one on the refund and the book sales. :)

    Was surprised to find I had lost another lb this week. Woohoo. And still not got the cellophane off the Shred dvd yet.....

    Bought a chest of drawers this week. Had no cash in the house and then thought oo what about my change pot. Had the 28 pounds in there to cover it so woohoo, another 28 for my total. Plus I sold another 10 pounds of stuff over the weekend. so another 38 pounds. Awesome.

    But I am just waiting until relatives are no longer in the house so that I can REALLY start on doing this...

    Well I did manage to get the cellophane of my Shred DVD, and sat in bed and watched it! I don't think thats the general idea. :eek:

  • Still the same weight as when I started this challange. I have neither gained nor lost any weight for 3 months. I had hoped it would start shifting again now. I have had a stressful 2 weeks, as my son needed unexpected major surgery and spent a week in hospital. During this time although not over eating, I wasn't selective about what I ate either. I only have 4 weeks until I stay with my Dad in Australia so really need to shift some lbs.

    Money wise have added another £20 taking me to £847.20/£2000. Hoping to be able to add a fair amount of overtime payments later on this month.
