    Brilliant challenge nellis10. Count me in.

    I'll go for £5 per lb and will try to lose 14lbs. Hopefully that'll provide the motivation that's been lacking when I've tried to lose weight before.

  • Just had sneak preview of my weight before tomorrows weigh in, and I may be weighing more than my original amount :o

    Will that mean I am in a negative balance?

    I will do a 'proper' weigh in tomorrow morning hehe

    I *knew* my scales were lying! I haven't lost half a stone, I've lost....... 2lb:o
    Still, at least its £10 towards my 'treats pot'..... I decided that cuz all the other challenges are going towards paying off the debt, I'd keep this money for treats..... only I'm gonna have to write myself and IOU and pay it in next month, can't afford it this month due to last payday only being Mat pay

    Good start tho, hope it stays off!!!

    Well lost my 1st lb. was hoping it would be a bit more, walked a mile and back to the gym yesterday, but had a meal out in the week, our 20th wedding anniversary. So maybe not so bad after all £5 paid in to my online bank account.
