Well done on the weight loss! I'm struggling to find the motivation at the moment. I seem to focus really well on one thing and at the moment it's debt busting!

I've gone for a new extreme and am reading lots of books about how the western diet is slowly killing me. I figured 'fear' might be good motivation!

I believe it's sorted. The £43 is in my bank account and the account *appears* to be closed. At least my log in doesn't work any more. I suspect my last email, that informed them that their "blithering incompetence had reached new depths" may have done the trick. :rotfl:

:rotfl: Well it's one way to get them to listen to you I suppose!

that's what i thought but i am aiming for a 1-2lb loss each week and as i've already lost 6, i only need to lose 22 more.... so with a bit of willpower, july should be easy enough

might get Zumba for Xbox Kinect out:rotfl:

hi everyone. great to see new people joining in and everyone doing so well with payments.


im still really motivated which is unbelievable for me!!! lol.


I am hoping to pay off another £200 tomorrow and I have enough cash for food for the rest of the month.


my aim is to either cut down my hours at work, change jobs or finish altogether (unrealistic really) so if I can shift this debt and change my perspective it should be a doddle.


cant wait for payday again but its not til 19th February - ages away.


anyway lets stay on track and do this together xx

Dh's been paid so i've made another payment to the CC.

#035 £562.93/£5035

I've not paid as much as i wanted to as we have car tax and mot to come out of this pay. Fingers crossed the car will pass without too much wrong with it then i will be able to pay some more.

Amr -well done on the weight loss, i'm really struggling at the moment to find the motivation, i lost 16lb last year but think i have put most of it back on :eek:. My big down full is chocolate, hence my username but i know i will regret it when we finally get some warmer weather and the coat has to come off :eek:.

Amr - i'm jealous of your weight loss. I need to get my bum in gear!

Mini - my 1st car was an R reg old style fiesta. I kept waiting for it to die so i could get a new a one but it never did. Ending up selling it last year.

I just realised i've been a member on this site for just over a year now, go me , It's made such a positive impact.

meal plan! what do you like eating? once you've planned what to eat for a week, you can budget accordingly and shop around.
