    Hi Pat- Izzy is the team leader of this thread, so I hope Im not over-stepping, but.... no rules to the challenge. We just check in once a week. We share our successes, struggles and give and get motivation. and 11st 7 lb is short for 11 stone, 7 pounds. In Europe (I think England) they use stones and/or kilograms. Not an expert ( I had to google it) but 1 stone=14 lbs. Hope that helps and welcome!!!!

    Quick question. Have any of you done this while breastfeeding? I have had to bring my calorie intake back up a little as it was effecting supply so as breastfeeding burns between 200 - 500 calories daily I'm logging it as exercise and eating a little more around 1500cals. How do you guys work it? If there are any nursing mama's on here.

    Gabi don't beat yourself up, we all have those weeks we don't lose. Mine usually last 3 weeks at a time. I know things are bad there and I pray that people there can pick up the pieces and God will bring everyone through. Stay strong.

    Picture your success

    Close your eyes and imagine your ideal body—both what it looks like from head to toe, and how it makes you feel. Then, go shopping – if you want that body, then buy clothes that would fit if you had it. And try them on every day until they fit!

    Plan your meals, eliminate choices

    Chocolate croissant or steel cut oats? Grilled salmon or a quesadilla? When you have to make these types of dietary decisions all day long, you may end up exhausting your willpower. Planning your meals in advance, however—even just one meal per day—can make it easier (and less stressful) to eat healthy.

    Excellent tip! Planning at least one of my meals in advance has made it much easier to stick to my daily allotment of calories & keeps me focused on my weight loss goals.

    Started high intensity interval training... Ouch! I feel good about myself for doing it but man can you feel the burn the next day despite a warm up and cool down period! I don't feel like I'm on a diet that will eventually end I feel more like I'm changing my life style. I have lost 9lb since starting MFP and I literally feel lighter on my feet. I want to be fit not just thin but hopefully I will someday in the not too distant future be both.

    Stock up

    Stock up on healthy, portable snacks. When you are grocery shopping, pick up bags of baby carrots, string cheese, nuts, fresh and dried fruit, single serving packs of applesauce, yogurt, wholegrain crackers, peanut butter, turkey jerky, etc. Having healthy portable snacks around will help you avoid bad vending-machine, convenience store and fast-food options.

    I just can't remember where this blog is and have to sit down to figure it out. I have a big problem with water weight gain and that is why sometimes I have a big drop in weight at times. I know it is my sodium intake, but sometimes I just grave sodium or salsa. I love salsa. I need to make my own, I have, but making the time is my problem. Have a successful week.
