That’s a good loss. You don’t have that much to lose so that’s actually quite a big percentage.XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Well done - a very nice step towards your goal.
It's annoying having to factor in time of day and clothing but you will know the extra is 'real'.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
The sun's been out and I think I’m solar powered (Onebrokelady)

Well done on your loss. I've seen ladies strip down to their bra on top in an effort to weigh less while I've been in a class. It's not something that I've ever been tempted to do 🤣2

Lol @CRANKY40.... I've never attended slimming classes, but at home it's defo everything single garment off including earrings & bangles! I need all the help I can get on the scales!
F2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!1 -
You need to listen to the Secret World of Slimming Clubs podcast, I think it’s episode 109 that talks about tricks at the scales like an emergency wee beforehand and removal of clothing It’s absolutely hilarious 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
