This is it team!:bigsmile: You made it!! We are on the very last week of this challenge and you never quit or gave in and I am so proud of you!!!!!!
Let's give this last week our all and go out with a bang. I don't want our momentum to go down. I want us to finish strong to show the other teams that we mean business and this is not just a challenge, but a healthy lifestyle for life!!!
For this week we are going to re-do our week one challenge. I want us to give it our best and see how far we have come since first starting this competition. That first week we had over 150 posts on our week 1 challenge. Let's all participate and see if we can even top that number for awesome group participation. Are you in? There are 22 health points possible each day. Log on here to let us know how your day went and to support your team. Go Team Bob!!
On to the Challenge....
We are going to see how many healthy points we can add up!! Each day give yourself:
1 point - If you contact one of your teammates. Like I said earlier, support is key to our success. Just a simple "Awesome workout" is great support.
3 points - If you drink 64 oz. of water
3 points - If you eat 2 servings of fruit for the day
5 points - If you eat 3 servings of veggies for the day
5 points - If you logged your food diary and stayed within your calorie goals
5 points - If you got at least 30 minutes of exercise for the day (it doesn't matter intensity or if it was all at once)

I just wanted to share this recipe I found today that sounds yummy. It is called Stuffed Cabbage Stratta.:happy:
This is a featured recipe taken from The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook by Chef Devin Alexander.
I grew up eating a version of this dish that my mom called “cabbage casserole.” I really wanted to include my version in this book because it is one of those surprisingly tasty dishes that is perfect for people who, like me, love to eat large portions but want to stay healthy. One serving is a huge amount of food, particularly for the amount of fat and calories. Please don’t substitute ground turkey here. It won’t complement the dish. Though I actually prefer chicken in this dish, you can also use 96% lean ground beef.
Olive oil spray
8 slices center-cut bacon, cut into 2-inch pieces
1-1⁄4 cups minced yellow onions
1 cup uncooked instant brown rice (or instant white rice in a pinch)
6 cups shredded green cabbage
1-1⁄2 pounds extra-lean ground chicken breast
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (8-ounce) cans no-salt added tomato sauce
3⁄4 cup water
Hot sauce, to taste (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray an 8x8-inch (at least 2-1⁄4 inches deep) ovenproof glass or ceramic casserole or baking dish with the olive oil spray. Line a dinner plate with a paper towel.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until the bacon is cooked and starting to crisp on the edges. Transfer the bacon to the lined plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet.
Add the onions and rice to the skillet and place over medium heat. Cook in the bacon fat, stirring, until the onions are tender and the rice is just starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Spread 3 cups of the cabbage in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with the rice mixture, forming an even layer.
Add the chicken, salt and pepper to the skillet and place over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, but leaving some large chunks, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to the casserole dish to form another even layer. Spread the remaining 3 cups cabbage over the chicken.
Discard any liquid from the skillet and add the tomato sauce and water. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. With a ladle or large spoon, carefully spoon the sauce evenly over the casserole, being sure that the dish does not overflow. Lay the bacon pieces evenly on top of the cabbage.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer, or until the cabbage and rice are tender and the strata is heated through. Let stand 5 minutes to set. Cut into 6 equal pieces and serve with hot sauce on the side, if desired.
Makes 6 servings.

Those dried fruits count too MsEye! It sounds like you had a great day!!! Congratulations again on your big loss this week! 0 -
I admit it... I did horrible today team.:sad: I was staying right on track and then some major stress happened and I started to binge eat sweets. My daughter has been dealing with something huge, my husband got some bad blood results in the mail and my little boy isn't feeling well. It really made me reflect on how much work I still have left to do with my emotional eating.
I did eat my fruit, drink my water, log my food and encourage team mates. I didn't stay under calories, get intentional exercise or eat all my veggies. I could have (and will tomorrow) do much better!
