    Thanks so much sally for this thread, I think most of us need some motivation just now. Post summer blues and all that :rolleyes: So here are my 7 things I want to accomplish in the 12weeks/84 days :D

    1) Be more positive about myself/my life...
    2) No spending unless its needed for my day to day living...
    3) Use my time more wisely...
    4) Pay off at least £300 from my debts...
    5) Lose 2 stone (28 pounds) in weight...
    6) Stick to my eating plan 100%...
    7) Make at least 4 handmade gifts and sure I have all purchased gifts by the end of November...

    I hope everyone does really well :j Keep updating all :D

    8. file all post as and when it comes

    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Brilliant idea, mind if I join in?

    My 12 week targets are
    1) do exercise dvd 4 times a week
    2) 4 alcohol free nights a week
    3) 4 NSDs a week
    4) pay off the egg card

    1 + 2 = hopefully lose weight
    2 + 3 = save money
    hopefully save money = 4

    Have just done 40 mins of davina, and no wine in the house today. I always start these things well and then fall by the wayside so hopefully this thread will help keep me in check.

    good luck everyone!
