  • I can't keep up with you lot. Keep an eye out for the update tomorrow some time!

    Does anyone else have a weight loss goal this year too? I'm hoping to lose at least a couple of stone. On the plus side, despite the monthly cost, going to the gym feels like a free activity so it feels MSE! Twisted logic, I know... :rotfl:

    Lose the pounds and put them into debt repayment!

    I've lost 12lbs since the start of the year doing 5:2 diet. Pretty pleased. I'm 1lb loss away from my next target so I should hit it by personal weigh-in day next Saturday. After that I have interval goals so I'm only ever needing to focus on the near future not a goal miles away :cool:

    My diet went out the window after last weeks illness. I may have lost a few lbs but it wasn't the way to go about it and now I have been in a famished mood stuffing my face with anything and everything haha

    I agree about the gym! Although I haven't been in the last couple of months due to migraines and being generally unwell, I do love it and plan to go back soon :)
    And yes I've got a weight loss goal... lose another 2 stone to get to my SW target... I will get there this year! :j

    Hi all,

    Number 45 Checking in with my January total now, because I don't expect to be able to pay any more this month now, and I don't have any regular payments scheduled.

    Paid £6284.95 off a starting point of £14605.27
    I think it's about 43% paid now.

    I don't expect to have any large amounts like thay to pay towards the debts in future but it means I need to average £756.39 a month now until Christmas to achieve the debt free goal.

    My direct debit for the loan and the credit card together are set at £540 so as long as I can find £216.40 a month extra then I can make it :-)

    Matt.
