Gutted, I didn't lose anything this week despite trying hard. I didn't even lose 0.1lb!!! Stayed EXACTLY the same... Well I've told my mum that we're going for an hours walk EVERY DAY this week and I'm going to do the Pilates even if it's just 10mins per night as I want to be under 11st in time for my birthday so I need to lose over 5.6lbs in just over 2 weeks...

Cannot wait until Wednesday when I get paid so I can update my totals, at least I already know I haven't failed in that!

12lbs/63lbs lost

Again, not been a great month but also not terrible. One more month or so and OH's overdraft should be gone, which is great. (It wasn't my intention to pay that one first but it's the only one that's his alone and it's been bothering him so we decided to get rid of it as was relatively small).

Wow that's fantastic! I can't believe you've lost nearly a stone already!!! You're doing so well on your debt loss too, you should be really proud of yourself xxx

Grr my DLA still hasnt gone in was 22nd last month and I honestly thought its supposed to be every 4 weeks, hope this doesnt mean that they've decided the woman who cant walk more than 30 mtrs is actually able to walk as far as she likes oh if only I could

I always feel a bit guilty when I use my DLA for household bills as its supposed to be to make my life easier, but I cant afford not to :eek: once all these horrible debts are gone DH said I should look at getting a mobility car (if thats still an option with all these reforms) as ours is dying and we cant afford a new one. If I didnt have the car i'd be stuck in this bloomin house again so im slowly coming round to the idea, its just again using what I see as other peoples money to rent myself a luxury, its even got to be quite big so I can get the mobility scooter in the back

You have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about :A

Well you know how I get when the numbers aren't multiples of £10.... sooo paid another £6.94 to freemans as my fleabay items are doing well today and I have £22 going in from there tomorrow and still have £14 in my bank. I will probably be able to pay another £12 before payday, but don't want to be completely short.

So...

#005 £1320.00/£5030

Thanks! Some of the weight loss is older but I always lose quickly at the start of a diet. Plus I have the incentive of my wedding.....5 months today

The debts will reduce steadily the first half of the year while we pay for the wedding but then all that money will be redirected to debts (give or take a bit for honeymoon ;)) A big whoosh of debt payments as we approach the finish line next winter :beer:

A big plus is that we've found our wedding rings for half of what we budgeted, and I think I may get a lot more off of that too if I go to a very nice jeweller friend of the family...:cool:
