I’d like to set up all of my accounts so that I won’t accidentally forget to make a payment or something dumb like that. If I can have it fly on auto-pilot then I run less of a chance of screwing my credit again.

My weight has always been an issue for me. Last year I dropped a bit of weight and felt really great about it. I took some time off from the strict regiment that I set up and gained some of it back. It was hard to get back in the swing of things again and I never really regained my momentum to get down to my goal of 160.
Today I start anew. I will get there and I will do it right and keep it off!
Ideally, I would like to lose 2 lbs a week until I reach my goal which has me hitting 160 by September 3rd. I can do it this time – No Excuses!
