    Hey everyone - I haven't posted in awhile....just been kind of busy and I seem to never get around to even checking the site until bedtime and then I am so sleepy., I know - excuses, excuses! :grumble: Anyway, I have been logging food, drinking water, exercising - all that good stuff...and have been trying to comment to all of my friends. I know I miss a lot of you though - especially with the time zone differences - by the time I get on at night, you are all in bed for the night! But I'm still hanging in, and I hpe you are all remaining dedicated and diligent! Good luck for Friday!

    Great challenges today teams... I can't do anything with this chest infection (walking up the stairs is a struggle) I'm sorry if I haven't been very supportive this week.. Next week I'll be better :) I just want to let you all know that I'll be changing the teams around tomorrow and I'm gonna do 3 teams.. So instead of deleting the people that haven't been on in a while I'll put them on there own team so if they decide to come back there still there... Hope you all have a great day and for those who are doing carb free check out the recipes thread for the countdown to christmas challengers..

    Axxxxx
