    welcome mookybargirl and newlifeahead!!!:T :T :T

    All updated so far!! Weigh IN on Monday and then the totals can start coming down. if you are already know your current weight and are already losing we can update you on Monday with progress!!

    What will everyone be storing their money in? It would be good if you could actually save those £s separately so that it won't get lost and you can actually see the £s go in as the lbs come off!!!!

    I shall be putting my £s in a little chocolate box!!:o

    Thats good to know! I have booked the Blacksmiths cottage, our two girls will be bridesmaid and my mum and dad are coming as well. My mum is paying for a horse and carridge and the hotel so that will help!!. Went to Monsoon yesterday and got my dress for £90 in the sale. My mum commented that I cannot put any weight on.....I want to loose it!! Not had a very good day though but am going for a run tonight so that should help.

    We got married in the Gretna Green Workshop at the Gretna Hall I think it was - they were fantastic. Colin Wyper was my photographer and he was brilliant, I had a piper too for a bit of atmosphere (he didn't let me check his underwear situation - :( )

    Well done on your commitment its well worth it for a day to remember!

    I am actually going to just transfer £5 into my savings account every time I lose a lb.

    What if we gain weight?? :confused:

    I've also opened a savings account, well it's been open for a while but I don't have any savings in it LOL. I need as much motivation to save as I do to lose weight. So maybe this will be the answer. Good luck everyone.:j
