    Well done on the losses!
    I've forgotten to weigh - probably sub consciously as I have been rubbish with food this week. Hey ho!

    But the good news is that I have put another £40 into savings this week and paid the £800 dog insurance cheque off the CC but that doesn't really count as extra debt busting as it was just put on the card whilst I waited for the reimbursment.

    Will try much harder next week with the food and exercise.

    WelshWoofer - Loss for Jan = 4.5lb, total loss = 4.5lb, £1's lost = £125, Savings £180
  • Only 1lb off for me this week, thought I'd been the really good but the scales aren't telling me that. Oh well I suppose its going in the right direction!

    Keep up the good work everyone :)

    pennies from Heaven - Jan lost 4lb, total lost 4lb, £'s lost £600
    LBM 1.1.16 = £27096.59 - now £17,020.38

    Paydbx 2017 - £3588.90/£7000 = 51.27% - number 74

    Paydbx 2016 - £6487.31/£7000 = 92.67% - number 74

    Wow there are some good losses recorded! I have high hopes for February, but January isn't that brilliant I'm afraid. My January totals are:

    HappyNow - Loss for Jan = 1lb, total loss - 1lb, £1s lost £75
    LBM Dec 2011. Aimed, but failed, to clear all unsecured debt by Feb 2019. Finally free of unsecured debt 21st May 21!

    Debt Dec 11: Unsecured £69,579 + Mortgage £59,948 = £129,527
    Debt May 21: Unsecured ZERO! ZILCH! Mortgage £22,332

    Monday morning weigh in and 3½ lb lost this week, taking me up to 12lb since New Year. Still got about 3 stones to lose, but at least I'm heading in the right direction.

    Nothing to report on the repayments. I want to wait until a bit closer to payday before seeing if I can pay any more off. According to my budget I should have a bit left to throw at my credit card debts, but I'll wait and see if I get any emergencies along the way first.

    19 Karb -Loss for Jan = 12lbs, total loss = 12lbs, £1's lost = £240
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

    I know I said I was going to wait, but I got impatient to see the figure going down again. Made a small (£25) overpayment this morning.

    Quick update from me... back from SW and lost 3lb :jVery happy :):) To be fair I have been super good and even walked a bit (easier to do when driving not an option!)

    Sadly just basic payments made...but nothing new on cc yet... baby steps!

    Can I join for February hijacker Karb? :)
    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.
