Thanks everyone. I'm excited to be saving this month!
Let's see.... first off, I transferred as much as I could onto a 0% interest credit card - the deal was that I keep 0% interest on the transferred money but have to make 2 charges per cycle to keep that rate. So I'd charge things like 1 string cheese and then 1 more string cheese so that I wasn't increasing my debt but by like $1/month. I'm sure that's not what they had in mind.

Other than that, we tried to be more mindful of our purchases and we've had some extra income which has helped immensely. I've just been funneling everything I can into the payments. Now the biggest debt left is student loans and our mortgage. We'll work on the students loans little by little and save most of the money that we've been using to pay off debt. The mortgage is low and there is no opportunity to pay it off early but it's not really a "stressful" debt for me.
