Ok I want to have a challenge prior to my trip to Oz in 19th June (and my 10 k run on 11 June)

I have planned 15 training runs before then. For each run I do, I will put £10 in a box. For every dessert I eat at work (or other cheat food not on the cheat plan) I will give £5 of that money to Colin, the MOTH (man of the house)

So by the time I have done my run I should have £150 to spend on a stunning outfit in which to meet my parents at the airport!!!!

Anyone else have anything they want to achieve by then? I don't want a pound loss challenge, coz I am finding it hard to lose, and want to focus on something more measurable.

Mine's a weight loss / BMI thing - as shown on my sig. I have promised myself to be down to being in the *overweight* zone by my birthday.

I have a box of money for posh tolietries, it has been building up for months now. I put in £1 for every lb off (have to take it out if i gain!!) and 50p for every gym work out and 20 p for every hour walking etc. I've got about £40 now. I can spend it when I've lost my first stone. Hopefully not long!!

I hear you on the weightloss thing kykaree, however I'm going to say I'd like to lose 7lbs before then - to make me 11st 7lbs.

AND I would only like to have had 2 "cheat" days!!!! I would say that I'd try for none, but I think that's unrealistic! If I can minimise it to once a month I'll be happy!

I want to get fitter (my back has been bad for well over a month now and walking is still painful), lose pounds (7-14) and continue to drink less.

That is a really good idea!

Sorry, it's lbs for me, too! I just want to lose this last few lb. I stuck at 164 for ages after xmas. I've been losing painfully slowly ever since. Last time I dieted like this, it took me 2 weeks to lose the final 5lb. So far it's taken me 5 months and still no joy.

Ooh Alison your sig has gone all goth

Well my walking is better already just the eating and drinking to solve now

Aye, new music taste! Totally feel 13 again and loving anything by HIM and of course fancying the pants of Ville!

I am trying the money thing.... for every pound off I shall put £2.00 away (actually I'll give it too my mum, because I'll just spend it)

Well I have done nothing! Bad me and my back is worse than ever.

Well I'm UP 7lbs

for your bad back veg take it easy - how about Pilates?
