Which is harder: Losing weight, or paying debt?

for me, weight0

Both are hard to do, although once you get there I think it is harder to stay at your goal weight then it is to stay debt free.0

Losing weight since the only debt I have is mortgage and a car payment.

And how much weight do/did you have to lose? You are buff, yet you're in debt. You don't see the contradiction? :laugh:0 -
I have 53lbs to lose and over $50,000.00 in debt to sort out.

God my life sucks.
60 pounds to lose and $82k in student loan debt, $3k in medical bills.
I feel your pain.0 -
All I know is I need to do both....*kitten*0

Lucky for me I don't need to do either right now!0

I'm facing both. Weight loss is easier and faster for me. I will reach goal weight soon, but won't be debt free for many years.0

Have done both, and they felt about the same to me. Both require planning, commitment, and a budget. Neither was much fun, but both were very rewarding!0

Weight loss. Debt is no joke.0

Paying down debt is time consuming, but I didn't find it that difficult. Losing weight is much more difficult - with money I somehow have the patience to save up for things I really want to buy without feeling like I'm depriving myself of joy because I know I'll get to enjoy them for quite a while. Food, well, its very nature is temporary so it's much harder to convince myself to 'save up' for higher calorie items. They're gone in a flash yet it takes so much more concentration to 'save up' for them!0

For me, I have more trouble losing weight.0

I think paying debt is easier for me right now than losing weight, but it's just the point of life I am at and my schedule right now. Fortunately, I don't have much to lose in either direction, so it doesn't trouble me much.0
-
hmm - i have both too but i definitely think the debt is harder - its much more time consuming and stressful.. goal for me will be in the next 6 or so months, the debt will take years (it's good debt if there is such a thing, but that doesn't make it good "/ )0
-
Debt is much harder. That said both are reasonably under control.0
-
I took care of both last year. Yay me!0
-
debt.
i'm about 16 months from being (mostly) debt free. i'm not really counting debt from college because that was an investment... and only has a 5% APR0 -
I think paying off debts is harder.0

I arrived in Oz 8 years ago with $60,000 of credit card debt (cleared within a year).
I've probably gained, and lost, the same number of kilos in that time too
Both painful in different ways ...0
