Not bad over Christmas and New Years!
Well done everyone!

So, good luck everyone and I hope you have a fantastic month!
Keep your heads up, ignore minor mistakes and focus on the big prize.
A happy and healthy lifestyle.
Lets make this December a good one!

Well, I wrote out a long reply, replying to everyone personally...
But then my mum unplugged the internet just before i sent it and so it disappeared!
OOPS!

So... Since it generally takes at least an hour and I have so much on my plate already to do today...
I'm sorry!
It'll be a mass reply to all of you.

I'm so glad that so many of you have still done well this month, dispite the Holidays!
And to those who gained, January is a perfect month to make changes, resolutions and ... well, changes I guess.
Remember to start off slow, ease yourself into these changes.
Don't try and jump straight into running 5 miles every day, but rather go for short walks to begin with, then walks/jogs, then full jogs....
And instead of "no more chocolate, ever!" Merely aim for "I'll only have two blocks of choclate tonight" (by block i mean those little individual squares :P not i whole massive bar of chocolate! lol.

But yeah, anyway, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and a very happy New Year!
And I hope I'll see you for the January Challenge!
Ah, and by the way, sorry for not updating that sooner!
I only got home yesterday after going to the beach for new years so I wasn't able to update it!

But I will now! :)

You honestly are just the sweetest thing ever.  Happy New Year doll.
