  • I've had my pedometer on today to see how many steps I do on an average day - 8600 so far today - that's not why I'm so fat then :rotfl:

    Really looking foward to the challenge!

    I'd like to join too. A nice round stone for me at a fiver each lb so a possible £70.

    I'll have to get up a bit earlier for cereal as a crunchie for breakfast isn't dieting is it??!!

    Welcome penguin83 and P00pieb0tt0m :T :T

    Point of order: if you gain weight you don't take out the money you keep in in the pot...but it just means that you will be saving more to get the weight off!!!...It will cost you to gain weight!!!!! :eek: ;)

  • I'm out all day today at an event, which is why I'm up and about so early. I've just weighed myself and I'm 197lb!!!! Not sure when it jumped up that much...

    Just off for some healthy, sustaining porridge :j

    I'd like to join in with this one :)
    28lbs is the goal and £5 per lb
    The weight came on when I quit smoking 9 months ago, and it will not shift so maybe a financial incentive will do the trick ;)
