I like this idea what does everyone else think? I will have a think about what our challenge should be for next week throughout today (I have just woken up and my brain isn't working yet) but would love the team to come up with some ideas too. Please post your suggestions today. As I am on UK time and most of you are on US…

Good luck to all of us weighing in tomorrow. Week one nearly over.

@Serendipity0913 please can BooSkooMama76 change her weigh in day to Thursday?

Been for a gym and swim today. Feeling nervous for weigh in on Friday as I had 1 bad food day, fingers crossed the exercise this week will have made up for it. How's everyone else doing?

I'm thankful I'm starting to fit in some clothes I could no longer wear, still a bit tight and some I still can't wear, but such a good feeling and shows I'm getting there.

Happy Tuesday Team Slimsons. Looking forward to a swim after work today and if the weather is good follow it with a walk. Feeling positive xxx. We can do this.

Fantastic result @doitnow0216. Keep up the good work.

All bar bar one have weighed in which is excellent. How's everyone ' week going so far? I wish I could motivate you all by saying I've had a great day but I haven't fit any exercise in today. Do have a karate lesson tomorrow morning to kick start my weekend though.

Hi Team Slimsons. I just had a quick look at the spreadsheet and it looks like 6 of us still need to weigh in (including me, I weigh on a Friday). I'll check it properly later today and send reminders to anyone who hasn't logged their starting weight yet. I've had a couple of bad food days this week (hormones I think). At…

Don't know how good I'd be as a captain but I do log in every day and I'm willing to give it a try.

Glad I don't submit my weight until Friday as I had a bad day yesterday. Ate way too much and didn't log my food as way too embarrassed to know how many calories I actually ate. By far my worst day since starting MFP. Back on track today though and looking forward to helping our team do the best we can.

I need to wake up tomorrow and put today behind me. First time I've not logged everything I've eaten because I've eaten way too much. Feeling annoyed at myself but won't let it ruin my journey.

Really happy this morning, lost 2.2lbs this week. Feeling very positive and motivated for the coming week.

@vbugsmom wow what an awesome loss so far. @doitnow0216 my name is Mary too, and I may be the second oldest in our team.

Awesome @Dana_E . Brilliant work you should be very proud of yourself.

Hi Team The Slimsons, I'm 49 and in the UK. I have 2 daughters 22 and 15. I have dieted on and off forever (feels like forever anyway) but am determined this time I'm making changes for life. I have 21.4 lbs to get to the weight I've always wanted to be although I've currently set my target 3 higher than this because I've…

I'm guessing by this comment you don't suffer from food intolerances. They are far more than 'annoying'. I can't eat dairy, gluten, vinegar, mushrooms, a lot of different fruits, yeast. And as I get older the list gets longer. If I eat them I can be anything from nauseous to absolute agony (for me it's my gut). Seems I may…

Not a good start to the week. Went over my calories by a lot for the first time since joining MFP. No exercise because feeling unwell. So angry at myself but hey ho tomorrow is a new day. At least my calories were mostly healthy ones but I still feel like I could have stopped myself and I chose not to. Worse thing is I…

I got the DVD on Thursday and had a go at level one on Friday. It was hard but I love it. Did alternative exercise Sat and today I have a cold so just went for a long walk instead. Hoping I feel better in the morning so I can start it for real.

This week I lost 0.6 lbs. The coming week I have to work on not weighing every day as is really doesn't help me. And I have a new exercise dvd which I hope to do every day, started it today and I love it.

For me they are of equal importance. Eating well, nutritionally, is important for my overall health (there's a lot I CAN'T eat) and exercise is important for improving my fitness and shape.

Been a bit busy so forgot to update when I weighed in on Friday. Down 2lbs. Have managed to fit in a lot of exercise over the weekend, my legs are particularly sore today so must be doing some good.

@RobD520 I agree with you for some individuals cutting out certain foods is better for you than trying to reduce your consumption of those certain foods. For me it's foods high in added sugar, if I could limit my consumption I wouldn't be here in the first place. I have currently eliminated these foods from my diet and am…

Well done @SouleGirl802

Not sure what happened go the rest of my post. 2. Found I can eat only 1200 calories and not get hunger pangs. Just need to make the right food choices 3. Struggling to get enough iron in my diet. I think I'll start taking a supplement because it could explain why I get so tired.

1 - still here

Thanks for the link bruhaha007. I've watched the first two so far and am finding them really interesting. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

@JeffFit70 thanks for the list. I may give IF a go, I often force myself to have breakfast because we are told we should have it but maybe missing it a few times won't hurt me. I only drink water so not drinking calories works for me, although I do make sure I drink soya milk to get calcium. Only thing I really disagree…

Happy to say I'm going back to karate on 19th March. Went and spoke to instructor tonight and I'm very excited about going back, and my 15 year old daughter is even more excited, it's been her I'll health which made us stop going.

Lost a lb since last week, not as much as I'd hoped for but still good.
