    Happy new thread people :):) :beer:

    I would like to lose 18lbs please :eek::eek:

    :A:money::beer::T:)
    In debt no more!
  • That is an AMAZING amount we have paid off already - keep it up everyone!! Hope you're all going to do something fun this evening. I'm going to a house party with a friend so that will be cheap, as I've just bought a large bottle of vodka and some cranberry juice - total £15, much cheaper than a night queuing at a bar paying premium prices!

    I'd love to join the weight loss too please. I did SW and lost 3 stone and have managed to let 2 of them creep back on. Rubbish.

    So: #38 would like to lose 42lbs

    Also thought I would make a little payment today - about the cost of a couple of drinks out on NYE! :T

    #38 paid £30 so new total: £165 / £2529.33

    Thanks for all your work on this thread, it really helps me to keep focussed. :p

  • Thank you for a lovely new thread!

    No plans for tonight, so I might as well work out the accurate ammount I owe - scary! I'm looking forward to seeing that number go down though. Now if only we could get a big padlock put on that grabbit board that would help me out!
