Hey Batman, Robin, and Catwomen! I thought I would get ready to start the new year by extending a challenge to my fellow teammates...Samantha said we could make our own challenges, so maybe each of us can take a week and extend a challenge to the rest of the team the night before weigh in, and it could go for one week.

This week's challenge is: to eat at least 3 servings of fruits or vegetables daily.

*I know the daily recommendation is higher than that, but for some of us (like me!) getting that much in may be a struggle...so we'll start small and see how it goes. Who's with me?

Go black!

    I might be able to do that today. We have some people over and instead of junk we got a veggie tray. I can't make myself eat veggies like for lunch and I don't like many cooked veggies but if they're raw, out on a tray I nibble nonstop. I've gone over my calories by almost 200 but it's because I've been stuffing my face with raw baby carrots and cherry tomatoes so I'm not gonna worry about it.

    Good challenge Laura. I am on the Purple Team and can't get no one to say anything on my posts. I am looking for my leader but she must not be on here. No one has any ideas I don't guess. Keep up the good work!

    Hey Renae...sorry about your teammates, but you can pop in our threads any time and follow our challenges...don't just lose too much weight...otherwise you'll beat us! :wink: Just kidding, girl...keep doing what you're doing...you can do this...and now that you're on my friend list, we can keep each other motivated. I personally challenge you to eat all your fruits and veggies today...I know you can do it!
