    April, I sure hope things lighten up for you soon. Christmas stress is the worst.

    Summer, you looked great tonight! TOM is such a biitch with the scale. You'll make it through the holidays. Just gotta stay positive! Does building Lego Death Stars burn calories? :tongue:

    April I can completely understand, the stress is getting to me too and I find it so hard to stay focused when I am stressing. Me and the babys dad are ill still, so we have had to ship off the baby to another city, I havent seen him for two weeks :( Xmas is stressful anyway, too much money is needed. My bloody electrics need completely redoing, £2500 :O I am a bloody single mum on welfare, thats not happening, just gonna hope the house doesnt set on fire eeeeek.

    So I went to the gym today (still on my free pass) and I ran a 35min 5k!!! WOOT WOOT!! I'm so stoked!! And to think I was seriously gonna quit halfway through! That's 9min off my actual 5k I ran outside!! Happy Bru Dance :drinker:

    I like having the gym access, but I don't think I'd use it as much if I knew I could use it whenever I wanted. Knowing that I only have 7days to try it makes me kill it in the gym. But that's a good thing because I'm shaking things up a bit and confusing my body. Not too much exercise for a few weeks, mostly light stuff then a few days of running and such.

    I'm not expecting a loss tomorrow, but I hope I break through shortly after the New Year

    Don't stress it too much guys, it sounds like a lot of us are struggling. Don't beat yourself up, this is a bad time of year for losing weight. We just need to accept that and not let it cause us to quit. Be strong guys and even if we don't do well over the holidays we will prevail in the end! :D Just don't give up.

    Thanks Ladies for being there for me! I love this group!
    Can't wait to start after the Holidays for the Valentine's challenge!

    Got a job interview yesterday and got a call today that I got the job if I want it! Starting my training on January 3rd! I will be working from home. It's a US company. It's only a 4 months contract but better that than nothing. Hopefully I can manage the new job, taking care of daughter by myself since her father is also starting a new job on January 3rd and will be working 28 days straight... so I will have to take her to hockey practice 3 nights a week... OMG I hate going to the arena... :sick: and on top of that I need to still take care of ME since I want to be healthy! Good thing I will have you to cheer me along!!!

    Good night all!

    Hmmm New challenges - That's a tough one because we've already done most of the ones I would have suggested. I think a good one might be to try an alternative form of sweetener - like Splenda, Stevia, or the like. I've been meaning to try an alternative for the sugar I put in my coffee as it adds a lot of extra empty calories. It would be great to have those calories for actual food substance. And I think challenging people to try an alternate sweetener might open some minds to something other than sugar.

    And since this is the last week before weigh in, we might need a big nudge to help us kick it into high gear. So I think it might be good to add an extra day of physical activity - like if you normally work out 3 times a week maybe try and work out 4 times a week this week. Or add an extra 15 minutes per hour of working out. So if you normally work out for an hour, plan to work out for an additional 15 minutes each work out.

    Anyway, I hope the suggestions help. :)
