Has anyone managed to get out of debt or lose a lot of weight?
I need to do both =( any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Nothing horrid or mean please, I am feeling rather delicate at the moment.
I need to stop indulging in self pity too! As soon as I get fed up, I eat rubbish or buy something!
Hey, are you my girlfriend, sounds like you.
Here is what has worked for me and is kinda working for my girlfriend.
Both problems have solutions, but they are slow.
Think about how you gained Weight and got in dept. It did not happen quickly, it happened over time.
Fixing them is the same, bit by bit. baby steps.
There is no quick fix that I know of, regardless of what advertisers say.
Get out of dept:
Stop spending! And to hit both problems, Stop spending on food!
Every time you are going to buy something ask your self "do I want this or need this". 99% of the time you want it, not need it. Slowly ween yourself, if you buy something you want, it’s ok, but be aware that you are doing it just to fill a want, you are giving a gift to yourself.
Weight:
Baby steps. My theory is if I do ONE pushup, I exercised. If the next week I do 3 pushups, I tripled my workout.
Going to the gym for hours, getting sore, all that crap, what do most people do, never go back to the gym.
Joining a gym and diets are all well and good, but they are short term (and have they worked for you in the past?)
One less bowl of ice cream and a walk around the block, consistently over time will make a huge difference.
If you want a fun example watch the movie "What about Bob" and remember "baby steps" and soon you will be sailing.

I lost 25 lbs (3 times…..lol) (seriously).
Keeping it off is tougher than losing it. I never figured out how to permanently change my lifestyle.
In terms of debt, I have been fortunate. Pay my Credit Cards off every month, just made my last car payment. I still have a mortgage but 75% done with that too.

I am now completely out of debt and I have to attack the weight issue. To tackle the debt I used the offers from credit card companies to switch in return for an interest free period, 6 or 9 months. Just when the interest free epriod was ending I did the same thing with another credit card. I paid a debt of £6000 off with almost no interest, just the odd fee for moving the debt.
As for the weight loss, i will be eating less and exercising more….the secret way to lose weight. LOL
Good luck
