so i have paid off 3 of my credit cards so far and am halfway paying off the next. i have 2 more credit cards and i will be able to pay off them within then next 5 months. What i’m doing is paying the minimum payments on all cards, but then putting $150.00 from each paycheck(which is 2 times a month) towards one credit card that has the least amount of money-then paying it off and putting that minimum payment money towards the next one and paying it off. It is working great so far and i’m feeling more free of debt then i have in a long time. It’s just hard to keep your spending to a minimum while doing this.

How I did it: i was laying in bed one night thinking of why i smoke..i came to the conclusion-there was no good reason and the cost of smoking was making me not reach other goals of being debt free and i want other things so much more than stupid cigerettes. so i just quit that day and haven't smoked since. Read how I did it…
I have a goal of losing 100 lbs. I started in the beginning of June 2009 and my goal is July 2010. So far i have lost 43 lbs total. It’s crazy because i have always wanted to lose weight and it just never clicked for me or happened or i didn’t push myself. But that all changed last June when something honestly just clicked in me. I made the decision right then that this goal IS possible so stop making excused and just freaking do it. so i did.. now i’m on a roll and i won’t stop until i reach my goal weight. I’m moving to hawaii next july as well and i want to start a new life with more confidence than i have ever had!
saving $150.00 from each paycheck- will be moving in july 2010 with my best friend. Will live in Oahu and get residency in a year then go to UH. I was born in Hawaii but moved to Washington state when i was little. I still have family there and always felt like it was home. Want to move back and be surrounded by things i love and positive attitudes.
