The Mozilla Firefox project was created by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross as an experimental branch of the Mozilla browser. Firefox 1.0 was released on November 9, 2004. Firefox 1.5 was released on November 29, 2005. Version 2.0 was released on October 24, 2006. Firefox 3.0 was released on June 17, 2008, with Version 3.5 and Version 3.6 released on June 30, 2009 and January 21, 2010 respectively. Version 4.0 was released on March 22, 2011. With Version 5.0 onwards the rapid release cycle was realised which envisions a new major version release every six weeks on Tuesday. The latest version, Firefox 26, was released on December 10, 2013.

The project which became Firefox started as an experimental branch of the Mozilla Suite called m/b (or mozilla/browser). After it had been sufficiently developed, binaries for public testing appeared in September 2002 under the name Phoenix.
The Phoenix name was kept until April 14, 2003, when it was changed because of a trademark dispute with the BIOS manufacturer, Phoenix Technologies (which produces a BIOS-based browser called Phoenix FirstWare Connect). The new name, Firebird, met with mixed reactions, particularly as the Firebird database server already carried the name. In response, the Mozilla Foundation stated that the browser should always bear the name Mozilla Firebird to avoid confusion with the database software. Continuing pressure from the Firebird community forced another change,[1] and on February 9, 2004 the project was renamed Mozilla Firefox (or Firefox for short).[2]
The name "Firefox" (a reference to the red panda)[3] was chosen for its similarity to "Firebird", but also for its uniqueness in the computing industry. To ensure that no further name changes would be necessary, the Mozilla Foundation began the process of registering Firefox[4] as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in December 2003. This trademark process led to a delay of several months in the release of Firefox 0.8 when the foundation discovered that Firefox had already been registered as a trademark in the UK[5] for Charlton Company software.[6] The situation was resolved when the foundation was given a license to use Charlton's European trademark.
Early versions[edit]
Hyatt, Ross, Hewitt and Chanial[7] developed their browser to combat the software bloat of the Mozilla Suite (codenamed, internally referred to, and continued by the community as SeaMonkey), which integrated features such as IRC, mail and news, and WYSIWYG HTML editing into one software suite.
Firefox retains the cross-platform nature of the original Mozilla browser, using the XUL user interface markup language. The use of XUL makes it possible to extend the browser's capabilities through the use of extensions and themes. The development and installation processes of these add-ons raised security concerns, and with the release of Firefox 0.9, the Mozilla Foundation opened a Mozilla Update website containing "approved" themes and extensions. The use of XUL sets Firefox apart from other browsers, including other projects based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine and most other browsers, which use interfaces native to their respective platforms (Galeon and Epiphany use GTK+; K-Meleon uses MFC; and Camino uses Cocoa). Many of these projects started before Firefox, and probably served as inspiration.
On February 5, 2004 AMS, a business and IT consulting company, categorized Mozilla Firefox (then known as Firebird) as a "Tier 1" ("Best of Breed") open-source product, considering it technically strong and virtually risk-free.[8]
Version 1.0[edit]
Firefox 1.0 was released on November 9, 2004.[9] The launch of version 1.0 was accompanied by "a respectable amount of pre-launch fervor"[10] including a fan-organized campaign to run a full-page ad in The New York Times.
Although the Mozilla Foundation had intended to make the Mozilla Suite obsolete and replace it with Firefox, the Foundation continued to maintain the suite until April 12, 2006[11] because it had many corporate users and was bundled with other software. The Mozilla community (as opposed to the Foundation) continues to release new versions of the suite, using the product name SeaMonkey to avoid confusion with the original Mozilla Suite.
Version 1.5[edit]
On June 23, 2005, the Mozilla Foundation announced that Firefox 1.1 (which became Firefox 1.5) and other new Mozilla products would no longer support Mac OS X v10.1, in order to improve the quality of Firefox releases on Mac OS X v10.2 and above. Mac 10.1 users could still use Firefox versions from the 1.0.x branch (e.g. Firefox 1.0.7).
Firefox 1.5 was released on November 30, 2005. While Firefox 1.5 was originally slated to arrive later, the Mozilla Foundation abandoned the 1.1 release plan after the first two 1.1 alpha builds, merging it with the feature set of 1.5, which ended up being released later than the original 1.1 date. The new version resynchronized the code base of the release builds (as opposed to nightly builds) with the core "trunk", which contained additional features not available in 1.0, as it branched from the trunk around the 0.9 release. As such, there was a backlog of bug fixes between 0.9 and the release of 1.0, which were made available in 1.5. Version 1.5 implemented a new Mac-like options interface, the subject of much criticism from Windows and Linux users, with a "Sanitize" action to allow someone to clear their privacy-related information without manually clicking the "Clear All" button. In Firefox 1.5, a user could clear all privacy-related settings simply by exiting the browser or using a keyboard shortcut, depending on their settings. Moreover, the software update system was improved (with binary patches now possible). There were also improvements in the extension management system, with a number of new developer features.
In addition, Firefox 1.5 had preliminary SVG 1.1 support.[12]
Alpha builds of Firefox 1.5 (1.1a1 and 1.1a2) did not carry Firefox branding; they were labeled "Deer Park" (which was Firefox 1.5's internal codename) and contained a different program icon. This was done to dissuade end-users from downloading preview versions, which are intended for developers only.
Firefox 126.96.36.199 was the final version supported on Windows 95.
Version 2[edit]
On October 24, 2006, Mozilla released Firefox 2. This version includes updates to the tabbed browsing environment; the extensions manager; the GUI (Graphical User Interface); and the find, search and software update engines; a new session restore feature; inline spell checking; and an anti-phishing feature which was implemented by Google as an extension,[13][14] and later merged into the program itself.[15] In December 2007, Firefox Live Chat was launched. It allows users to ask volunteers questions through a system powered by Jive Software, with guaranteed hours of operation and the possibility of help after hours.[16] Firefox 220.127.116.11 is the final version which can run under an unmodified installation of Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, and Windows ME.[17]
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.x was the final version supported on Windows NT 4.0, 98 and Me. Mozilla Corporation announced it would not develop new versions of Firefox 2 after the 22.214.171.124 release, but continued Firefox 2 development as long as other programs, such as Thunderbird mail client, depended on it. The final internal release was 220.127.116.11, released in late April 2009.
Version 3[edit]
Firefox 3 was released on June 17, 2008,[18] by the Mozilla Corporation. Firefox 3 uses version 1.9 of the Mozilla Gecko layout engine for displaying web pages. This version fixes many bugs, improves standard compliance, and implements new web APIs.[19] Other new features include a redesigned download manager, a new "Places" system for storing bookmarks and history, and separate themes for different operating systems. Tabbed browsing was more popularised in this version. The final version under 3.0 is Firefox 3.0.19.
Development stretches back to the first Firefox 3 beta (under the codename 'Gran Paradiso'[20]) which had been released several months earlier on November 19, 2007,[21] and was followed by several more beta releases in spring 2008 culminating in the June release.[22] Firefox 3 had more than 8 million unique downloads the day it was released, setting a Guinness World Record.[23]
Version 3.5[edit]
Version 3.5, codenamed Shiretoko,[24] adds a variety of new features to Firefox. Initially numbered Firefox 3.1, Mozilla developers decided to change the numbering of the release to 3.5, in order to reflect a significantly greater scope of changes than originally planned.[25] The final release was on June 30, 2009. The changes included much faster performance thanks to an upgrade to SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine called TraceMonkey and rendering improvements,[26] and support for the <video>
and <audio>
tags as defined in the HTML5 specification, with a goal to offer video playback without being encumbered by patent problems associated with many video technologies.[27] Cross-site XMLHttpRequests (XHR), which can allow for more powerful web applications and an easier way to implement mashups, are also implemented in 3.5.[28] A new global JSON object contains native functions to efficiently and safely serialize and deserialize JSON objects, as specified by the ECMAScript 3.1 draft.[29] Full CSS 3 selector support has been added. Firefox 3.5 uses the Gecko 1.9.1 engine, which includes a few features that were not included in the 3.0 release. Multi-touch trackpad support was also added to the release, including gesture support like pinching for zooming and swiping for back and forward.[30] Firefox 3.5 also features an updated logo.[31]
Version 3.6[edit]
Version 3.6, released on January 21, 2010, uses the Gecko 1.9.2 engine and includes several interface improvements, such as "personas". This release was referred to as 3.2 before 3.1 was changed to 3.5. The codename for this version was Namoroka. This is the last major, official version to run on PowerPC-based Macintoshes.
One minor update to Firefox 3.6, version 3.6.4 (code-named Lorentz) is the first minor update to make non-intrusive changes other than minor stability and security fixes.[32] It adds Out of Process Plugins (OOPP), which runs plugins in a separate process, allowing Firefox to recover from plugin crashes.
Firefox 3.6.6 lengthens the amount of time a plug-in is allowed to be unresponsive before the plug-in quits.[33]
Support for Firefox 3.6 ended on April 24, 2012.[34]
Version 4.0[edit]
Firefox 3.7 (Gecko 1.9.3) Alpha 1 was released on February 10, 2010.[35][36] Alpha 2 was released on March 1, 2010, Alpha 3 on March 17, Alpha 4 on April 12, and Alpha 5 on June 16.
The version number was changed to 4.0 (and Gecko's was changed to 2.0) starting with Beta 1, released on July 6, 2010.
Beta 2 was released on July 27, Beta 3 on August 11, Beta 4 on August 24, Beta 5 on September 7, Beta 6 (a chemspill release) on September 14.
After major delays, Beta 7 was finally released on November 10. Beta 7 was followed by Beta 8, released on December 21. Beta 9 was released on January 14, 2011, Beta 10 on January 25, Beta 11 on February 8, and Beta 12 on February 12.
Firefox then moved into the RC stage.[37] The final version of Firefox 4 was released on March 22, 2011.[38]
Version 4 brought a new user interface and is said to be faster.[39] Early mockups of the new interface on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux were first made available in July 2009.[40][41][42] Other new features included improved notifications, tab groups, application tabs, a redesigned add-on manager, integration with Firefox Sync, and support for multitouch displays.[43][44][45][46][47]
On October 13, 2006, Brendan Eich, Mozilla's Chief Technology Officer, wrote about the plans for "Mozilla 2", referring to the most comprehensive iteration (since its creation) of the overall platform on which Firefox and other Mozilla products run.[48] Most of the objectives were gradually incorporated into Firefox through versions 3.0, 3.5, and 3.6. The largest changes, however, were planned for Firefox 4.
Firefox 4 was based on the Gecko 2.0 engine, which added or improved support for HTML5, CSS3, WebM, and WebGL.[49][50] It also included a new JavaScript engine (JägerMonkey) and better XPCOM APIs.[51]

In April 2011, the development process was split into several "channels", each working on a build in a different stage of development. The most recent available build is called "Nightly Builds" and offers the latest, untested features and updates. The "Aurora" build is up to six weeks behind "Nightly" and offers functionality that has undergone basic testing. The "Beta" channel is another six weeks away. It provides improved stability over the nightly builds and is the first development milestone that has the "Firefox" logo. "Release" is the current official version of Firefox. New releases are planned to occur at six-week intervals.[54] The stated aim of this faster-paced process is to get new features to users faster.[55] This accelerated release cycle was met with criticism by users, as it often broke addon compatibility,[56] as well as those who believe Firefox was simply trying to increase its version number to compare with other browsers such as Google Chrome.[57]
Version 5[edit]
Firefox 5 was released on June 21, 2011,[58] three months after the major release of Firefox 4. Firefox 5 is the first release in Mozilla's new rapid release plan, matching Google Chrome's rapid release schedule and rapid version number increments.[59] Version 5 improved the speed of the browser significantly when it was asked to perform web related tasks, such as loading pages with lots of combo-boxes and loading pages utilizing MathML. Mozilla also integrated the HTML5 video WebM standard into the browser, allowing playback of WebM video.[60]
Version 6[edit]
Mozilla released its Mozilla Firefox 6.0 on August 16, 2011. The update brought: permissions manager, new address bar highlighting (the domain name is black while the rest of the URL is gray[61]), streamlining the look of the site identity block, quicker startup time, a ScratchPad JavaScript compiler, and many other new features. This update also brought the infamous feature that JavaScript entered in the address bar does not run.[62]
Version 7[edit]
Firefox 7, released September 27, 2011, uses as much as 50% less memory than Firefox 4 as a result of the MemShrink project to reduce Firefox memory usage.[63][64][65] Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 was released a few days later, fixing a rare, but serious, issue with add-ons not being detected by the browser.[66] The "http://" protocol indicator no longer appears in the URL.[61]
Version 8[edit]
Firefox 8 was released on November 8, 2011. Firefox 8 verified that users really wanted any previously installed add-ons. Upon installation, a dialog box prompted users to enable or disable the add-ons. Add-ons installed by third-party programs were disabled by default, but user-installed add-ons were enabled by default. Mozilla judged that third-party-installed add-ons were problematic, taking away user control, lagging behind on compatibility and security updates, slowing down Firefox start-up and page loading time, and cluttering the interface with unused toolbars.[67]
Version 9[edit]
Firefox 9 was released on December 20, 2011; version 9.0.1 was released a day later. Firefox 9 includes various new features such as Type Inference, which boosts JavaScript performance up to 30%, improved theme integration for Mac OS X Lion, added two finger swipe navigation for Mac OS X Lion, added support for querying Do Not Track status via JavaScript, added support for font-stretch, improved support for text-overflow, improved standards support for HTML5, MathML, and CSS, and fixed several security problems. It also features a large list of bug fixes.[68]
Version 10[edit]
Firefox 10 was released on January 31, 2012. It is the first official extended support release. Firefox 10 hides the forward arrow button until there is a website to go forward to, or it is manually activated.[69] Firefox 10 adds a Full Screen API and improved WebGL performance.[70]
Firefox 10 assumed all add-ons were compatible with version 10, as long as they are written for at least Firefox 4. The add-on developer is able to alert Mozilla that the add-on is incompatible, overriding compatibility with version 10 or later. This new rule also does not apply to themes.[71]
Firefox 10 added the CSS Style Inspector to the Page Inspector, which allow users to check out a site's structure and edit the CSS without leaving the browser.[72]
Firefox 10 added support for CSS 3D Transforms and for anti-aliasing in the WebGL standard for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. These updates mean that complex site and Web app animations will render more smoothly in Firefox, and that developers can animate 2D objects into 3D without plug-ins.[70]
Version 11[edit]
Firefox 11 was released on March 13, 2012. Firefox 11 introduced many new features, including migration of bookmarks and history from Google Chrome,[73] SPDY integrated services, Page Inspector Tilt (3D View), Add-on Sync, redesigned HTML5 video controls, and the Style Editor (CSS).[74] The update also fixed many bugs, and improved developer tools.[75]
Version 12[edit]
Firefox 12 was released on April 24, 2012. Firefox 12 introduced few new features, but it made many changes and laid the ground work for future releases. Firefox 12 for Windows added the Mozilla Maintenance Service which can update Firefox to a newer version without UAC prompt.[76] It also added line numbers in the "Page Source" and centered find in page results. There were 89 improvements to Web Console, Scratchpad, Style Editor, Page Inspector, Style Inspector, HTML view and Page Inspector 3D view (Tilt).[77] Many bugs were fixed, as well as many other minor under-the-hood changes.[78][79] Firefox 12 is the final release to support Windows 2000 and Windows XP RTM & SP1.[80][81]
Version 13[edit]
Firefox 13 was released on June 5, 2012.[54] Firefox 13 adds and updates several features, such as an updated new tab[82] and home tab page.[83] The updated new tab page is a feature similar to the Speed Dial already present in Opera, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Windows Internet Explorer. The new tab page will display nine of the user's most visited websites, along with a cached image.
In addition to the updated new tab and home tab page, Mozilla has added a user profile cleaner/reset, reduced hang times, and implemented tabs on demand.[84] The user profile cleaner/reset provides a way for users to fix Firefox errors and glitches that may occur.[85] Mozilla's tabs on demand restores tabs that were open in the previous session, but will keep the tabs unloaded until the user requests to view the page.[86]
Starting with this version, Windows support was exclusively for Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Vista, & Windows 7.
Version 14[edit]
Firefox 14.0 for Android was released on June 26, 2012, just outside the regular release schedule of the web browser.[54][87] In order to sync the version numbers of the desktop and mobile version of Firefox, Mozilla decided to release Firefox 14.0.1 for mobile and desktop on July 17, 2012, instead of Firefox 14.0 for the desktop and Firefox 14.0.1 for mobile clients.[87]
A new hang detector (similar to how Mozilla currently collects other data) allows Mozilla to collect, analyze, and identify the cause of the browser freezing/hanging. Mozilla will use this information to improve the responsiveness of Firefox for future releases.[88]
In addition to tackling freezing and not-responding errors that occur because of Firefox, Mozilla implemented opt-in activation for plugins such as Flash and Java. Mozilla wants to reduce potential problems that could arise through the unwanted use of third-party applications (malware, freezing, etc.).[89]
URL complete will suggest the website that Firefox believes the user plans on visiting. It does this by inserting the remaining characters into the URL form box.[90]
Firefox 14 has an optional GStreamer back-end for HTML5 video tag playback.[91] This allows playback of H.264 if the codec is installed as a GStreamer plugin. GStreamer support is not enabled in the official builds, but can be enabled at compile time.
The first beta version of Firefox 14 was not beta 1, but beta 6[92] and was released on June 5, 2012.
Version 15[edit]
Firefox 15 was released on August 28, 2012.[54]
This version includes a "Responsive Design View" developer tool,[93] adds support for the Opus audio format[94] and adds preliminary native PDF support (turned off by default).[95]
Silent updates automatically update Firefox to the latest version without notifying the user,[96] a feature that the web browsers Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8 and above have already implemented,[97][98] although the user is able to disable that function.[99]
Mozilla improved regular start-up time for Windows users.[100]
Version 16[edit]
Firefox 16 was released on October 9, 2012.
Plans for this version called for fixing of bugs still outstanding involving support of new features in Mac OS X Lion, improvements to start-up speed when a user wants to restore a previous session,[101] and support for viewing PDF files inline without a plugin.
Opus audio format is now enabled by default. Support for web apps was added.[102]
The roll-out of Firefox 16.0.0 was stopped on October 10, 2012, after Mozilla detected a security flaw and recommended downgrading to 15.0.1 until the issue[103] could be fixed. The security flaw was fixed in version 16.0.1, which was released the following day, October 11, 2012.[104] Version 16.0.2 was released October 26, 2012. It fixed additional security issues, and is also the final release to support Mac OS X Leopard.[105]
Version 17[edit]
Firefox 17 and Firefox 17 ESR were released on November 20, 2012.[54] Firefox 17.0.1, with several bug fixes, launched on November 30, 2012.
Firefox 17 was not planned to bring as many user-facing features as previous releases; it brings improved display of location bar results,[106] improvements to the silent update mechanism for users with incompatible add-ons,[107] and refinements to the Click-To-Play system introduced in Firefox 14.[108] A new feature for developers, an HTML tree editor[109] is also included.
Starting with this version, Mac OS X support is exclusively for Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion.
Version 18[edit]
Firefox 18 was released on January 8, 2013.[110] Firefox 18.0.1 was released on January 18, 2013, and added several bug fixes.[111] Firefox 18.0.2 was released on February 5, 2013.
A new feature for Firefox 18 is IonMonkey, Mozilla's next generation JavaScript engine.[112] Firefox 18 uses some functions of WebRTC.[113]
Version 19[edit]
Firefox 19 was released on February 19, 2013. Firefox 19 features a built-in PDF viewer.[114] Firefox 19.0.1 was released on February 27, 2013 to fix stability issues for some AMD Radeon HD graphics cards in Windows 8.[115] Firefox 19.0.2 was released on March 7, 2013 to address a security vulnerability in the HTML editor.[116]
Version 20[edit]
Firefox 20 was released on April 2, 2013. A new feature of Firefox 20 is a panel-based download manager,[117][118] along with H.264 decoding on the <video>
tag (on Windows only), and per-window private browsing (per-tab private browsing on Android). It also includes a new developer toolbox, that combines all developer tools into one panel.
Firefox 20.0.1 was released on April 11, 2013, and included a Windows-only update to handle issues around handling UNC paths.[119]
Version 21[edit]
Firefox 21 was released on May 14, 2013. The Social API now supports multiple providers, enhanced three-state UI for Do Not Track (DNT).
Version 22[edit]
Version 23[edit]
Firefox 23 was released on August 6, 2013. It includes an updated Firefox logo, mixed content blocking enabled by default to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks, implementation of the <input type="range">
form control attribute in HTML5, dropping support for the <blink>
HTML element as well as text-decoration:blink
The keyword.URL preference now is no longer supported, making it no longer possible to specify the search engine for the URL bar that way. The search engine that is used on the URL bar and on the about:home page now is the very search engine, that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
Firefox 23.0.1 was released ten days later, August 16, 2013, to fix the rendering glitches on H.264 video only in FF23 on Windows Vista; it also fixed the spell checking that was broken with non-ASCII characters in profile path, and the audio static/"burble"/breakup in Firefox to Firefox WebRTC calls.[123]
Version 24[edit]
Firefox 24 and Firefox 24 ESR were released on September 17, 2013. The release includes support for the new scrollbar style in Mac OS X 10.7 (and newer), closing tabs to the right, an improved browser console for debugging, and improved SVG rendering, among other things.[124]
Version 25[edit]
Firefox 25 was released on October 29, 2013. Firefox 25 Nightly was at one point slated to include the Australis theme, but Australis did not actually land on Nightly until Firefox 28.[125] This release added support for <iframe srcdoc>
attribute, background-attachment:local
in CSS, along with Web audio API support, separate find bar for each tab and many other bug fixes.[126][127][128]
Firefox 25.0.1 was released on November 15, 2013, to address issues with pages that sometimes wouldn't load without first moving the cursor.[129]
Version 26[edit]
Firefox 26 was released December 10, 2013. Firefox 26 changed the behavior of Java plugins to "click-to-play" mode instead of automatically running them. It also added support for H.264 on Linux, password manager support for script-generated fields, and the ability for Windows users without advanced write permissions to update Firefox, as well as many bug fixes and developer-related changes.[130]
Future releases[edit]
Test builds can be downloaded from the Firefox development channels: "Beta", "Aurora", and "Nightly" (Central). As of December 10, 2013[update], Firefox 27 beta is in the "Beta" channel, Firefox 28 alpha is in the "Aurora" channel, and Firefox 29 pre-alpha is in the "Nightly" (Central) channel.
Firefox 27 is scheduled to be released on February 4, 2014.[131] Firefox 28, scheduled to be released on March 18, 2014, might include the Australis interface.[132]
Extended Support Release[edit]
In January 2012, the Mozilla Foundation announced the availability of an Extended Support Release (ESR) version of Firefox.[133] In addition to the "release", "beta", and "aurora" update channels the ESR versions form the "esr" update channel.
Firefox ESR is intended for groups who deploy and maintain the desktop environment in large organizations such as universities and other schools, county or city governments and businesses. During the extended cycle, no new features will be added to a Firefox ESR; only high-risk/high-impact security vulnerabilities or major stability fixes will be corrected.[134]
An Extended Support Release includes continuity of support through 9 normal Firefox rapid release cycles (54 weeks), with the final 2 cycles overlapping the next version. ESR versions will jump from 10 to 17, then to 24 etc.[134]
Every six weeks when a new mainstream Firefox release is made under the rapid release cycle, a corresponding security update would also be released for the then-current ESR version. For example, ESR 10.0.1 would be expected to be released at the same time as Firefox 11, ESR 10.0.2 at the same time as Firefox 12. Security updates for ESR versions are also released when out-of-band security updates are made available for mainstream Firefox releases, for example ESR 10.0.10 corresponds with Firefox 16.0.2. At Firefox 17 and Firefox 18, there would be two ESR versions supported. Respectively, ESR 10.0.11 and ESR 17.0.0; ESR 10.0.12 and ESR 17.0.2. Finally, when Firefox reaches 19.0, ESR 10 would go end-of-life alongside the release of ESR 17.0.2. The cycle repeats again.
After the end-of-life with ESR 10.0.12 the Firefox Updater suggested to update to ESR 17.0.x on supported platforms.
ESR 24.1.0 equal 25.0.0; ESR 24.1.1 would be expected to be 25.0.1[135]

SCHAGTICOKE - Fire damaged a Rensselaer County home just one week before Christmas, but crews managed to save some presents under a tree that went up in flames.
Firefighters say that salvaging Christmas presents was the least they can do for a family that just lost so many possessions in a fire.
Fortunately no one was home when flames broke out around 9 a.m. at a home on Route 67.
Fire crews said a malfunctioning wood stove in the basement sparked the blaze, which quickly spread to the living room upstairs.
Ornaments were still hang on the Christmas tree that was completely blackened.
After knocking down the fire, crews took the time to drag out a pile of wrapped presents from under the tree, which the renter says were mainly for his 11-year-old daughter.
"We're always looking to save what we can," said Hoosick Valley Fire Company Assistant Chief Kristopher Daurio. "It's an unfortunate circumstance. So whatever we can get, it's the best case scenario."
In this case, that included Christmas presents.
"Once we get it all knocked down and it's safe for us to go in, we'll start overhauling and looking at what we can get," Daurio said.
The renter who lived there said he's grateful that firefighters got some presents out and is still assessing what else can be saved.
The landlord is also providing an apartment for the father and daughter to move into right away.

With me now is Charles woods the father a former navy seal tie woods who was killed on the -- got the attack.
Ties siblings hope faith and Jeremiah and join us this evening.
First of all let me say on behalf of so many Americans you have our our condolences.
Our thoughts and prayers especially as the story unfolds.
Are with you and eight at Charles look let me start with you and me just tell us about -- Hi it was a remarkable young man he grew up to be -- navy seal.
He was raised.
Before kindergarten on the 9000 acre ranch in long -- Corrigan.
And he'd begun.
Most of the -- -- this 22.
That was what honed his skills as a marksman he'd go to the county fair in -- -- -- -- -- -- He was one of the best wrestlers in the state of Oregon.
And you call him the the alpha -- he was.
Wanted to achieve.
From an early age.
He knew that he could protect.
It's lesser people -- itself.
They ask you this Charles he wouldn't you first heard.
That -- had been killed and it was such a sad day when your son's body was brought back.
You spoke to the president yet and Hillary Clinton and the rest of them tell us what they told OK first of all.
To president.
Was gracious enough to come and speak with each one of the spam list.
At Andrews Air Force Base there was a large room and there were four pods couches and whatever.
For each of the four family groups to be yet.
Finally wolf first of all the vice president came in and mingled in the room they were there for over half hour.
And what -- they -- Well what in the presidency.
Okay put the president said to me he was the last one to come -- he came and -- he came up to me and in.
Not a very sincere voice.
Said I'm sorry.
And then -- shook hands gave him you know like that and then.
What I said to him was.
-- Mr.
President I appreciate your service.
And I said I -- peace.
And I could tell that he was not at peace.
And I said my heart Greece because of lost my son my emotions have gone up and they've gone down but.
The reason that I am at peace is because I know that god is in control of every situation.
That's why our family is handling this.
Much better than you would expect an end.
-- you spoke with I'm sorry Charles you spoke with Hillary Clinton -- -- -- -- she came up to us.
And shook hands with her I think she just wanted to shake hands I kind of gave her a little bit of -- will -- And she said.
We are going to arrest the person that made that film and we're gonna -- prosecuted and what were your thoughts when she sent them.
Well I didn't think it was any big deal because I just thought this is the way politicians.
Talk I mean I knew that she was line.
And she's smarter than I am but -- she would had to know that she wasn't telling the truth if there -- put stuff.
You say the president was insincere and she was lying but you why now why are you coming out now to talk about it's okay.
Our decision our family -- made the decision not to make public statements.
This last week after a drop my daughter's off at high school when Kona I just at random happen to be listening to in his station.
And Dave.
That the president had -- live feed that he watched my son.
Being killed.
That he watched this whole babble but lasted seven hours and he chose to do nothing.
Now when I went back there to Washington DC I knew that something was fishy it just didn't make sense that -- have a long drawn out battle.
And that no help.
Would have been sent.
Why do you think -- helpless and you know that your son.
-- was on the ground asking for back up pleading for an AC 130 and how does that make you feel.
Well I can say with their motivations are and I'm not going to speculate on that.
But I do know that the Navy SEALs are extremely honorable.
And they have a code of ethics of code of honor and part of that code of honor.
Is they will never leave any one behind OK this is white -- went in initially.
As a medic he spent two years -- ambulance service in San Diego.
Not even dressed as a navy seal so that he could acquire the skills of an emergency room doctor.
So that they would never leave anyone behind.
I couldn't understand why did day who allowed them to die why didn't they send help I don't know anything about.
Good tactical weapons or anything like that but I do know that they couldn't fit something than I've been told it would have been a C 130.
That within 45 minutes.
Could have secured from Genoa Italy -- right across met -- wherever than an hour wherever insecure at the perimeters.
And not only protected the lives of those thirty people.
But also the lives.
-- the individuals.
Who were also heroes besides my son.
Who sacrificed their lives this was not necessary I knew this could have happened and my question.
In Washington DC was why didn't this happen.
When it came out this last week that.
The whoever it was I'm not gonna say who was with whoever it was in the White House.
Was watching this live -- of my -- -- he murdered then I decided.
It's time.
To do two things one is this is not political okay if this becomes political that's.
That would just honor of my son's.
Life and his death but.
What we want to do is we want to honor my son.
And we also want there to be truth and justice.
As well as forgiveness.
You feel that your son chris' life.
And that your son was murdered you've made some strong state it's OK you're on there could -- Go ahead you are former Iran are also well not not really an honor and administrative budget that's a much lower level -- how you served.
How ever.
As an attorney.
Their legal definition of murder.
Would not fit into this given -- par -- seasons well mentioned let's put it this way my feeling is that it fact was there.
And if you could say something to the president what would you say I would say if what was you your honor I totally forgive you.
But I -- for your benefit I would want you to turn your life around and -- the other direction.
So the -- can continue to flow into your life I want the best for you and that means you need to stand up.
-- your fault and then change the direction of your life I love this country of -- All right Jeremiah very quickly gonna follow in your father's footsteps.
Com this off her on getting -- without.
All I really -- made son you know decisions that it's seeing what he didn't how.

- 2 2 2cups CUP_USVolumeextra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1 1tablespoon TABLESPOON_USVolumered pepper flakes
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Roll the pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface into a long, thin strip. The dough should be about 4-inches wide, 14-inches long, and no more than 1/8-inch thick. Brush the surface of the dough with the oil. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1/4-inch strips. Place on the prepared baking sheets. The strips can be laid straight or curved into designs. You can also twist 2 strips together. Leave 1/2-inch space between breadsticks.
Alternatively, you can also roll out the dough very thinly and pass through the fettuccine cutter of a pasta machine to make the breadsticks.
Bake until browned and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
In a food processor, combine the flour and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and process until the mixture forms a ball. (The pizza dough can also be made in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl and starts to climb up the dough hook).
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand 2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is lightly pulled).
Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Yield: 4 small pizzas
In a small saucepan, combine the garlic cloves and olive oil and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer until the garlic begins to turn brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (Do not let the garlic get too brown or the oil will have a bitter taste.)
Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Add the red pepper flakes and infuse for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.
Yield: about 2 cups

No matter who you ask, everyone has a favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. Whether it's the juicy turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, or your favorite homemade stuffing, it's hard to find someone that does not like the food.
This year, it will cost you less to feed your family on Turkey Day than last year. The average cost, according to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau for a meal for ten people is $48.88, which is $1.29 less than last year.
However, many experts say you can make a delicious Thanksgiving meal for even less -- you just have to find the right bargains.
At Crossroads County Market, a 12 pound turkey will cost you $6.84. You can compare that to the statewide average of $22.72 for a 16 pound turkey.
Mary Gaiche, Store Director for County Market says even though $48.88 is the average, you can serve your family a meal for far less.
"Turkey, cranberries in a can, frozen vegetables, a pumpkin pie from the bakery, stovetop stuffing...if you want to you can have a thanksgiving meal for under 20 dollars," she says.
The American Farm Bureau says Americans will eat 46 million turkeys this Thanksgiving.

Episode 7
Haru remembering his aunt.
It was nice learning something new about his past. Still, it's nice he didn't give up on Shizuku and even confessed. She almost freaked out, but she's not an ordinary girl. Those two really make a great couple. Haru is still hopeless when it comes to Shizuku. She's on the other hand in denial when it comes to Haru.

Re: Episode 7
The roles are reversed again. Now Haru is in love with Shizuku and trying to make her return his feelings, and she wants nothing to do with him. However, he's starting to win her over again, but she's not ready to admit it, so he doesn't think he's actually made any progress. I assume either she'll manage to keep denying her true feelings or at least convincing him that she's not falling back in love with him, or she'll accept them and he'll somehow go back to not quite being in love with her, for a few more episodes, until they can finally come together properly for the end. We're passed the halfway mark now, but there's still way too much to just keep going back and forth like this the whole time. Obviously I've been loving the series for the most part, so I assume it will pull out something to keep me pleasantly surprised, but I feel like it's taking it's first tiny step back since the first few episodes, and it had only been getting better until now. But again, its track record leads me to believe that it will be taking two steps forward in the future.

Re: Episode 7
Episode 7:
- HanaKana-iinchou is doing her best! She also finds out that Haru got rejected by Shizuku. - But hahaha Asako, she's not about to let HanaKana-iinchou step in. Man, Asako cares so much about her Mitty, and it's really adorable. It's a complicated relationship, because the things that Asako finds hardest to deal with about Shizuku are also the things she finds most attractive and reassuring. - Haru's old caretaker being a scientist or doctor or whatever provides a decent explanation for why he's so advanced in his studies. - Heh. This is a very Haru-like confession. - "I have a cock. It's atrocious." O_O - Haru is bad at love. Asako is good at crushing his hopes. - Operation get a good culture festival booth spot: Failed. I like how freely Shizuku went along with the idea for making money though. - HanaKana-iinchou you're much too sweet a girl for your own good. Mitty, you're too cute when you're flustered. <3

Re: Episode 4
- A smile means everything.
- When Haru smiles, girls are not afraid of him anymore they fall for him. - And he is probably the most popular guy at this time. - Shizuku is now jealous - Haru gets into a fight to protect a girl, he went too far and now the girl he saved is afraid of him - At least, Shizuku was there to save him, from even worst. - I sure hope you win Haru. - Asako in a bikini! Awesome!! - At the end Shizuku wants to go on a date with Haru. I hope we have the date next episode.

Re: Episode 5
- Of course Haru, Shizuku was pretty brave to ask you on a date
- Natsume has a fever Boo. - Shizuku plans to study all the time Even on a date. - Harus big brother wants to speak with Shizuku - Haru got an e-mail and runs to them while its only about sweets with Harus brother. - Ok, so Harus father wants him to go back home and quit school and his brother wants him to stay at school and not go back home. He sees Shizuku as the only person that can keep Haru at school. - But in the end the brother said that was the plan. So maybe the father real desire was to convince Haru to function normally in a society. - Haru was hoping for Shizuku to say she loves him but instead she said he can not give her orders Oops - And then, Shizuku asked Haru to not lose sight of what he really wants. What he really wants is to be with Shizuku! - And the girl did thank Haru for defending him yesterday Competition?

Re: Episode 6
- Yeah, you are definitely in love Chizuru
- For Shizuku, studying is an easy way to escape. - They want to help Chizuru but - But I think its the last place she would like to be. - Well, at least, Shizuku told Chizuru it was not her fault. - And that scene where Chizuru said that Haru didnt understand what Shizuku was trying to say Wow. - They are on a date at the library. - She no longer feels anything for him Hmm Lets just say that I hope she will ask Asako for advices.

Episode 8
Zomie house of terror was a really something...
Shizuku still indecisive about Haru. That punch in the face really froze their relationship for a moment there. Poor Oshima just can't catch a break with Haru.. Haru seems to be very flammable when it comes to misunderstandings about Shizuku. Lots of weird situations this time. It sure was a fun cultural festival. At least Shizuku was honest with him for a change.
My new Blog --> ookami (anime, manga, movies, JDrama, music, Japan..) & latest reviews |
Re: Episode 8
Nope, I was right the first time. Haru is dangerous. For him to grab Oshima like that was just wrong, wrong, wrong. He's going to kill or seriously injure someone in his anger or panic.
Re: Episode 8
I love that Shizuku was in that ridiculous cosplay for all of this. And Oshima might as well be in cosplay with her hair up like that. Shizuku's relationship with Haru suffers even more, but then starts on the upward angle again near the end. She still values her grades over her social life too much. Her and Natsume need to balance out, instead of being the two extremes. Or ideally, everyone would be a genius like Haru, but I guess that would cost some sanity, since he's definitely got some bigger problems with himself. Poor Oshima continues to be inadvertently jerked around by the eternally clueless Haru, and he's definitely got some impressive charm for multiple girls to have strong feelings for him even with all the shit he pulls toward them. This episode really made me realize how well this series has established all its characters and weaved their relationships together. Every time a new character shows, I think "oh yeah, that will make this situation even more interesting!" And it generally does.

Re: Episode 7
- Hmm
Haru tells Chizuru that Shizuku shot him down
- Asako is trying to rescue Shizuku. She is doing so much for her. - And Haru confesses to Shizuku. - But, Shizuku feels in constant danger now! - They want a good spot for the culture festival, I should say the best. Too bad, it didnt work. - Haru gives Shizukus name to a barricade - How long Shizuku will be able to convince herself she is doing the right thing? How long it would take her true feeling to beat that? - You are right, Shizuku is (really) cute.

Going down - now to (minus) -0.78
and still possibly going a lot lower...
Does anyone know why such a strong Nina is being forecast? It would be particularly unusual for a second year Nina. What signal or driver is the basis for this?
Personally I don't believe a word of it. It would be very unusual for a La Nina to keep go on stregnthning after Christmas and to reach its peak in March.
I think CFS has lost the plot, but we'll see.
Indeed the only example of a La Nina that has continued strengthening after Christmas is 1893 and to a smaller extent 1950, I think they are overplaying it at this point, especially seeing as it's a double dip La Nina.
Im interested to know whet you mean by "they are overplaying it"? Do you mean the models are inaccurate?
think we can all agree that there will be at least a weak/ moderate La Nina, I'm just confused as to what the CFS is picking up on to forecast such a strong La Nina, I don't think we could rule it out, but it would certainly be unusual given recent multi year ENSO events if one was to carry on strengthening after January.
If the CFS was correct this would rival 1893 and 1917 but we shall see
Edited by user 14 October 2011 13:26:02(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
They may be factoring in the quiet sun and increased global cloudiness and albedo which results in less solar energy getting into the oceans to mitigate La Nina or enhance El Nino.
I think the problem with CFS is that once it sees the trend, it takes it to an extreme. This was something we saw last year when it was predicting the most intense La Nina ever recorded.
The JAMSTEC model has updated today and is forecasting a much weaker La Nina, with a minimum of -1 around Dec/Jan;
http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/ (click the seasonal predictions link in the sidebar)
This looks much more reasonable than CFS's mega event that keeps stregnthening into March.
Edited by user 14 October 2011 15:58:43(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Well, it certainly seems to be taking to extremes at the moment. The AVERAGE of the ensemble has fallen of the bottom under minus three now. All of the latest (blue) runs are off the bottom at the moment:
It won't be long before we know if it is dreaming with such a steep drop predicted. A couple of weeks shold give us an idea if it is way off the mark.
Very cold anomalies starting to appear in region 1&2;
Maybe CFS was right all along?
I will be honest, im not sure why anyone would really doubt it, as there is a consensus accross all the runs of a big drop. Just because it is a bit extreme, that does not mean it will be wrong. I accept it could still be wrong, but why would all the runs be so dramatic?
The CFS-2 model is the only model predicting such dramtic La-Nina other models go for a much weaker event
see for example
Indeed. The model consensus is for a weak or possibly moderate La Nina. CFS is alone in its mega event. Starting to wonder whether it might just end up nearer the mark than the consensus, though...
This has been pointed out by Joe B'astardi, there is a CFS V2, which you can see here;
Heres the ENSO forecast of the V2 model;
Still going for a strong La Nina, but doesn't reach the extreme depth of CFS V1;
Notice the recent warmer members on the V2 ENSO ensemble as well? The model could well be starting to realise this La Nina is not going to be anywhere near as extreme as its been forecasting?
The newest blue runs, bring a much weaker la nina, from December time, good sign, to see I think. I think the cfs was over doing the la Nina anyway.
The Temperatures have risened slightly on the chart Gavin posted further above.
Edited by user 27 October 2011 17:40:45(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Yes, CFS is rapidly backtracking on its mega La Nina forecast.
In a week the ensemble mean has gone from dropping off the chart early in 2012 to bottoming out at -2.5. But most of the more recent member go for a peak of between -1.5 and -2.
I think it will continue to backtrack further over the next few weeks and the minimum will finish up somewhere around -1.
One interesting thing I'm noticing on the SST anomaly maps in the last couple of days is some warmer water just off the coast of Peru;
Wonder if that could actually be the first signs of some ENSO warming into early 2012? Keeping in mind the Beijing model this month appeared to be forecasting an El Nino this winter. That seems outlandish, but perhaps it has picked up on some warming taking place through the winter?
Edited by user 28 October 2011 15:56:03(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Thankyou for posting on the thread Gavin,im personally very interested in the ENSO signal for winter.I'm aware other factors can overide this but its a piece of the jigsaw that will probably count for something and the strong la nina last winter may well have been the key to winter going to pot after christmas..
No problem.
The best part of the run up to winter for me, is trying to put all the clues together to come up with an idea of what might happen. Its like fitting a jigsaw puzzle together and ENSO is a big piece of the puzzle, so I get a lot of lot of satisfaction out of all this geeky stuff.
Hopefully the Nina will be nowhere near as strong as progged.
Difficult to say what will happen come Dec/Jan but a strong event looking more and more unlikely.May not even reach moderate.
Theres been a definate weakening of La Nina in the past few days;
Compared to;
Could be temporary or La Nina may have peaked early and will now gradually fade through winter?
her is the latest more nuanced NOAA discussion on La Nina.

Overcoming emotional struggle
For the members of Team Noom Coach, including vets overcoming PTSD, just being in a military atmosphere during training was enough to trigger flashbacks.
"They get lost in another place," said Dr. Vanessa Lewis, who worked with all three South Pole Challenge teams in advance of the trek.
She tells us that it's common to forget about the mental side of achieving a physical goal.
"We tend to focus on the physical injury because it's tangible," she told us. "It's quite difficult to understand the psychological side of things."
This seems pretty relevant for weight loss, too — how many times have you tried to start going to the gym or to lose weight by simply eating differently, without addressing the reason you have bad habits in the first place?
For the girls of Team Noom Coach, they would cope with their feeling by dissociation, meaning they avoided the things that made them uncomfortable. And while it's normal to have some things you don't care for, it becomes something else when those things are part of a normal, happy life.
If you feel yourself avoiding activities that ought to be enjoyable (like going out to eat, taking a walk with a friend), here are a few tips from Dr. L.:
- Face your triggers. If you know that going on a long walk used to make you feel bad about your body or your abilities, go with a friend and take a hike. Your negative perceptions will only get worse the longer you avoid a person or activity, Dr. L tells us.
- It's ok to feel uncomfortable. Sometimes you have an emotional connection to a place or person, and that's ok. If you start to feel that way, remember that you're in control, and that this feeling won't last forever.
- Stay in the moment. Sometimes we will pull ourselves mentally out of a situation to avoid our feelings. Stay in the moment by truly feeling your senses — smell the air, squeeze a ball, feel your body's ability.
- Find your calm. Whether it's listening to music, doing breathing exercises, or some other technique completely unique, find what makes YOU calm.
PTSD is a serious condition, and walking with the wounded is making strides to raise awareness. Join Noom in supporting the cause!
Introducing Noom Weight v2.0
Noom Weight version 2.0 for iPhone is out! We're really excited about the new features — so with no more ado, here's what 2.0 has to offer:
A beautiful redesign. Noom has some new clothes! The interface is clean and looks gorgeous on iOS 7, and Noom is rockin' some purple. Check out the awesome new dashboards on the main screen by swiping left or right.
Introducing Noom Pro. You asked, we answered. Use all of our food, exercise, and weight tracking features for free, or upgrade to Pro for intelligent feedback and reliable motivation. If you bought Pro on your Android, you should be Pro automatically on your iPhone — just create an account using the gmail address you use on your Android phone. If you're having trouble with accessing your Pro membership, feel free to contact email@example.com.
Join a Noom Group. Committing to a weight loss program is hard enough on day 1, and that donut can seem irresistible by day 5. That's why we created Noom Groups: go Pro to join a group of other Noomers who'll help motivate you.
The brand new Mealtime dashboard lets you see who's already logged their food, allowing you to high-five rockstar loggers and help the slackers (we say it with love!) with a reminder to log. Use the chat to discuss weight loss strategies, share recipes, or just tell your story. You'll also get a weekly article from Noom to inspire you with new ideas.
Better feedback. When Noom team members tracked our own food, we were frustrated by the criticism we received from Noom Weight. After all, you don't need Noom to remind you that eating that slice of cake wasn't a great idea. Noom's new meal feedback emphasizes positivity, relying on scientific research demonstrating that people who log everything they eat lose weight, even if they're not trying to change their diet.
To support this concept, we've added a new meal logging streak; this is the number of meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) you've logged in a row. Research shows that as this number goes up, your weight should go down!
The Noom Weight team is really proud of our work, but nobody's perfect. We've received some really great feedback from you guys about the iPhone app, so thanks! I'll address a few of the concerns we've heard:
Why is Noom Weight so different from the Android app?
Noom Weight Loss Coach for Android is a great app with a lot of awesome features. The iPhone is a new ballgame, however, and we wanted to start with Noom basics: quick, easy food logging and intelligent coaching. Noom Weight may have started small, but we've got big plans for it — we want it to be the best weight loss app you've ever used.
For those of you who love the Android version, sit tight. We work very closely with the Android team, so you can expect the greatest hits of Noom to appear on your iPhone soon.
What's next?
In the short term, iPhone 5S owners will love the integrated pedometer that works with the M7 motion sensing technology in your phone. See how your daily activity affects your calorie budget and get exercise credit for walking the dog, shopping, and cleaning the house — all automatically! We'll also be working out some kinks in the Noom experience to make everything as seamless and beautiful as possible for the new year.
In the long term, we'll be working closely with the Android team to improve the motivational aspects of the app. We've got some great stuff in the works, but would love to hear your ideas too — check out our feedback page to leave us suggestions. You can also use this form to sign up to be a beta tester for the brand new features.
Hopefully this helps you get an idea of what we've been working on. We'd love to hear what you think, so feel free to reach out any time through social media or our noom.com/support.
Finally, thanks a lot for using Noom! We get our inspiration and motivation from our users, whether hearing a fabulous weight loss story or reading your honest and insightful feedback. You guys are great!
Until next time,

Here's a healthier version of what the members of Team Noom Coach are eating as they trek to the South Pole.
The Race Begins: Team Noom Coach on Staying Accountable
Having someone to talk to about your health goals and progress could be the missing part of your weight loss routine.
Numerous studies have shown that people exercise more when they have an exercise partner, especially one in better shape. But just telling someone you intend to work out or eat better is enough to help most people make healthier decisions. In fact, people have 73% higher weight loss success when they check in with someone once a week.
Why? Because you don't want to let other people down. Humans inherently want to look good in front of each other, so when you know you'll be reporting your decisions, you make better ones.
Last week we talked about how Margaux from Team Noom Coach helped motivate teammate Therese to get moving and get over her tent fever. Undoubtedly this type of teamwork will amplify throughout the race, which started yesterday. Already we've seen cross-team sportsmanship, with teams cooking meals for each other, and Prince Harry leading the US team in practice exercises.
"Teamwork is vital," says team member Ivan Castro. "In my case, being blind … I can't make it to the South Pole without the help, assistance, guidance, and motivation of my entire team."
The person holding you accountable doesn't have to be your exercise companion (after all, not everyone is down to sweat in front of someone they see in other aspects of life). Look for someone whose opinion you care about — a spouse, sibling, coworker, or friend — and tell them about your goals. Ask them to hold you accountable checking in every so often.
Not sure who to ask? Noom Pro users are put into a Group that they can lean on for accountability and support. Active groups share recipes, cheer for each other's accomplishments, and nudge group mates to keep going when they've dropped off. We've seen Groups run virtual marathons, share family stories, and become true friends.

Team Noom Coach Shares Their Food Logs
It's been a week of bad weather in Antarctica as Team Noom Coach waits to start the race to the South Pole against teams from the UK and Australia and Canada.
On the plus side, the team has had plenty of time in Antarctica to acclimate. Early this week team guide Inge Solheim led members Mark Wise and Alexander Skarsgard on a 24km skiing outing. The guys ended up at an Indian research center where they were treated to a big traditional Indian meal. (Sounds a lot like Thursday's festivities here in the U.S., huh?)
We also received the first of the team's meal logs this week, which topped out at over 4,000 calories in a day. Because of the cold weather and extreme activity levels, the team needs to eat huge amounts to stay energized.
In order to hit high calorie goals, Mark relies heavily on red foods, like macadamia nuts, which provide 450 calories in just 1/2 cup. These make up many of his snacks, along with beef jerky, full-fat cheese, and chocolate.
Breakfast is also a hugely important part of the team's calorie intake. Their 1400-calorie meals include cheese, deli meats, oatmeal, butter, toast (whole-grain!), and jam.
And how are the celebs keeping up? Mark says, "Alex Skarsgard eats twice as much as everyone else. He's a monster!"
Teams will start the race tomorrow, Decmber 1. You can track the team's progress here.
Need some motivation to stay on track?
Team Noom Coach was delayed several days due to unseasonably strong storms. Once arriving in Antarctica from Capetown for acclimatization, the team got a special bonus of getting the "most rustic" living arrangement of all the teams.
"For me, I'm very used to this situation. I take news as facts and just deal with them," Team Noom Coach mentor Inge Solheim told us.
Admittedly it's a little easier to just deal when your life career is exploring. However, it's not bad life advice for any goal. The situation is what it is, so don't stress about things you can't change — like the past, what other people are doing, or the weather conditions.
He tells us that when there are delays, people get too comfortable — and that's exactly what happened to Therese. She got tent fever and ended up sleeping too much and losing motivation.
It's hard to fault her: the weather is terrible (windy and -40 degrees), and in the 50 yard walk to get food, her goggles would fog up if not put on 100% correctly. So when some of her teammates went out for a day ski trip, she passed.
Luckily her teammate Margaux jumped in, offering to do a smaller, less intense trip. Therese agreed, and that's all she needed to get out of the funk.
"Even though it was scary, I was glad I got out. The next day wasn't so harsh," she told us.
Starting a personal journey, whether it's skiing to the South Pole or trying to lose weight, means you have some form of motivation. But the fact is that many people will lose steam somewhere along the way. For Therese, having a partner is an essential part of keeping motivation.
Here 5 more things you can do to help maintain motivation as you work toward your own goal:
- Have a clear destination, and write it down. Writing down a goal means that you've given it real thought — and have probably thought about how you can realistically get there. Without it written, you're more likely to change your goal (from maybe 15 pounds to 10) on a rough day. Keep yourself accountable.
- Tell a friend. The power of (positive) peer pressure: if you tell a friend about your goals, you'll want to maintain them more than if you keep them to yourself — even if that person never says a word to you. Why? Because we're social creatures, and we want to show ourselves in the best light. Even better, that person can help you:
- Celebrate little victories. You may be doing an awesome job of achieving your weight loss goal of 150 pounds, but even when things are going well, progress can seem slow. Set smaller goals along the way to give yourself a steady drum of achievement and inspiration.
- Don't be scared to change your goals. Or build on them. Or ditch them for something totally and utterly better. Many Noomers start with a goal of looking a certain way but find that health, family, and self-confidence is what they really seek.
- Forgive yourself. One of the #1 ways to derail your plan is to beat yourself up if you get off track. Did you gorge and eat way more than you know you should? Gain weight? Not go to the gym and give it your all? It's ok. You're human and that's a beautiful thing. Smile, start fresh, and get back into good habits today.
