Hi all

Just a quick update - have lost 2 pounds this week so that's the weight part of the challenge complete and have also paid off the nationwide overdraft so that's two out of my three challenges done which I am well pleased with. I am still steadily paying off my mum and should be able to make another payment next week (with the help of overtime from OH).

So, overall, quite happy today - away to have a wee celebratory vodka since I've achieved the weight loss goal!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

1) lose 30lbs (3/week) = 2/30 (+5)!
2) Pay off £5,000 of the tax bill £1,000/£4000
3) Fleabay like crazy 5 items
4) incorporate exercise into my daily life = 60 min of walking
5) focus completely on my job during the 9 hours a day I work and not do extra or stress about it outside those hours: Sunday!
6) Be a more loving partner = washed and changed all linen and no nagging
7) Try to enter 30 comps a day and see if I can win some xmas pressies = did 30 today

weight still stinks

Morning!

By my reckoning this is the last day of this challenge so my final update is as follows:

paid off nationwide overdraft
lost the 7 pounds I wanted to lose
paid a £1750 chunk off the amount owed to my mum.

I had made inroads into the second two before I started this challenge so in actual fact the totals are seriously better: a total of 23lbs weight loss since January and £3000 paid to my mum since March.

All in all, I'm really glad I did this challenge as I'm not sure I could have stayed motivated so thanks to all who chipped in with this thread!

Have a good day everyone
