YAY, can't wait!!! Best thing is that we have a few days to mentally prepare for the challenge and sort out our game plan. For me I really need to up my water, I've totally slacked off over the last few months and I can really notice it, I feel dry and dehydrated. I also need to eat better and have become addicted to chocolate that is going to change! I am also going to listen to the gabriel (sp) method hypnotherapy thingo everyday when ds is having his nap. AND I am going to lay down EVERY day when ds is napping and 'rest' listening to that recording and try to have a nap. I'd also like to think that I will count calories, I have a new Samsung Galaxy S II phone and dh put 2 apps on there for calorie counting and one to keep track of water and that is really groovy as it alerts you to remind you to drink, which I totally need right now. I haven't decided which app is better yet but seeing I'm all into playing with my phone at the moment I will probably have the motivation to at least see how I go calorie counting at the moment. I have lost weight before calorie counting, once I lost about 5kg in 12 weeks and another time 8kg's so here's hoping either way I loose weight! As for exercise I will see how I go, just being able to be more active by getting more rest is the 1st step I think

hannanat yes it's 13 weeks 12 weeks will bring us to the 25th of November
