Hey everyone! It's been amazing reading all your resolutions for 2013. I hope this year brings you happiness and success. And a rocking bikini body of course!
As for me, I've gained
7 lbs since I came to England for Christmas and New Year! Eeeep!
But I'm not going to let it bum me out, I'm going to focus on weight loss when I get back home and lose that weight and MORE.
I went shopping recently since Japan sizes are so small it was so nice being back in my home country with sizes I can fit into. I'm usually a UK 12/14 in tops but this time I fit into a UK 10 and even a UK 8!! What?!! Granted the top that was an 8 was really baggy in design so it's not a true reflection on my ACTUAL size but still it feels amazing to own something in a size 8!! I think that's like a 4 in the US?! Not sure though! So yeah, I spent a lot of money treating myself and buying new clothes since I figured I probably won't when I get back to the land of the skinnies!

Sorry if I don't get back to all of you, but I have read everyone's post!
runthec - I personally downloaded it via a torrent and plugged a usb into my PS3. The DVD is really popular, try getting it from Amazon.
lisa4621 - Did you have a nice New Year despite the no alcohol and food? =(. Congratulations on 11 years!
Lauracore - You've got some good resolutions! I think my reward will be a shopping spree for nice clothes for slim people!
tinner - Congrats on resisting the urge to buy doughnuts!! I hate lingerie shopping with a passion. My bra size is a 32GG so finding a nice, supporting bra is so difficult. I have to try on SO many different ones that I just hate myself by the end of it! I just want to get in and out as quickly as possible.
Song of Surly - I'm glad you had a great New Years! I really want to watch Les Mis, I'm a bit of a sucker for musicals. The pizza was delicious thank you, and so far I don't have Noro!!
margare - That sucks! Well at least you're not there now!
lilypad - I'm sorry that happened to you.
Friends definitely don't do that!! Congratulations on all your successes and emotional progressions from 2012 and I'm sure you'll achieve all you want to in 2013.
getmydivaback - If you are going to work out for 1 hour make sure you're eating more healthy food to fuel your body! 1 hour is a long time!
chubbie - I always liked to think that I'm a tiger and my stretch marks are my stripes =p. It's so cheesy but don't let some marks put you off wearing anything!
ilovemo - Aww thank you! You're very welcome, I enjoy running them and seeing everyone's progress =).
ParkTrot - Perfect timing! Let's do this together!
Scarlett - Don't worry about the last 2 weeks, I'm there with you! We can do this together I'm sure, I find coming here and staying accountable helps me focus too. =) My last challenge Halloween challenge fell apart too after I moved to Japan, I felt so guilty so hopefully this will make it up to the people who I let down! Wow, congratulations on all your successes in your career! I'm sure you can get to where you want to be. What made you want to work in the diabetes field?
