    Bump.

    I have been at a standstill, weight wise (203), for the past 2 weeks. I am not sure what going.. Not sure if I should exercise more or eat more/less. What to do?

    I recommend increasing intensity of exercise, mixing up what you do and maybe adding a day also if you can. I say this without knowing what you do already. I see your signature says you are shooting for 3 days a week.

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: QUESTION TO GROUP:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    In challenge, are we counting corn, tomatoes, potatoes, etc as veggies? What are you counting as veggies or excluding? Krys?? :wink:

    I am not counting potatoes, but am counting tomatoes. I am not counting corn either.

    Thanks!

    I am going to go ahead and count them. I am just going to make sure to limit to once a day for the starchy veggies like corn and potato and not every day either. Like every other day if that much.

    So I am thinking the same thing as Mollie, possibly increasing the intensity of exercise and making sure you are eating every two to three hours...preferably complex carbs and lean protein with every meal.

    Stay cool everyone! It is sizzling here in Chicago!

    I was out of town (got back late last night) and forgot my (packed) computer so I just saw this week's challenge. I can pretty much say I got NO fruits Monday or Tuesday and will count 1 Veggie for Monday.

    Now that I'm back - I will commit to at least 4 servings of veggies and 2 fruit per day

    I eat a lot of fruits/veggies normally. Sorry I have been pretty quiet the past week and a 1/2 been on vacation and taking sister to college out in Ohio for the rest of this week. Can't wait for 7/25 so I can focus all my energy back to eatting correctly.

    :heart:

    I know all of you are doing so well!!! Keep up the great work!!

    On Tuesday after I posted I felt like I should eat another fruit like I commited to so had an Orange. That put me over on calories by 20, so I had to workout. I ended up doing that for 68 minutes!
