Count me in please. Military style wk 1.
Wk 2 were on our hols. Yay. And it's already paid for, cash ordered, and anything else will go on DH's credit card (his separate budget) so it should be 7 days spend free - I may allow duty free bargains/Big C purchases if good deals on stopover.
Must make sure to check sun tan lotion etc. Going to allow one bulk buy as we've already placed our MF order to arrive on 30th Nov but it won't get charged until just before.
My BIG one is going to be 'Fat Food' - cakes and hot chocolate Waitrose/Costa. Using YNAB for the first month, I'm horrified.
Good luck everyone.Goals - Weight loss 6/26lb at 22nd Jan 18Mmmm. 26lb at 1/7/18. Oops:o0 -

Please add me too. I loved kat's challenges and your adaptation is superbe.
I really do not know whether to go for military or civilian. I return to work on Oct 31st, on a phased return, (after being signed off for the last 6-7 weeks) but still need to keep travelling to and from mum's (4.5 hours on the trains) to help with her and to continue sorting dad's house. When I am away, food is bought daily so as not to impact on mum too much. Maybe I could count that like we do weekly activities? (Not trying to get sneaky NSDs, by the way! )
Also, dd now has to be milk-free on top of gluten-free so being able to buy her foods is rather random and tends to be done as I see things - can be rather frequent, I'm afraid.
I'd like to be hardcore but am feeling more feeble at the mo!NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0
