    I'm new to the Message Boards, but this looks like a really inspiring thread! I'm hooked. Count me in for this week/my first week!

    (Do we post to this thread daily with our updates or at the end of the week? And also is this five servings of fruits or veggies or 5 servings of fruit and 5 servings of veggies?)

    Thanks :tongue: Add me--I need friends and motivation!

    Welcome Kai85, Alliej, Metalhead, Pjfmaui & TacoGibbons :flowerforyou:

    TacoGibbons-You can post to the thread daily or weekly, its up to u. Most of us post daily. The goal is to get 5 servings of fruits and/or veggies. My personal goal for the 5 servings is 3 veggies and 2 fruits. Good Luck!

    Kamk-Let's Do this!

    Shawnalee-Glad you like the challenges. It's getting harder to think of different ones.

    Kai-Great start!

    Steph-I have a hard time getting my veggies in too.

    I bet it is getting harder to think of different ones. Maybe we can all chie in and send some ideas and you can organize them as needed for the next couple weeks. That way we can work on things we need individually, as a team. :-D i have no problem getting in my fruits and veggies :-D I love them! I usually get in 4 hrs of training a week.... I don't like being there longer than 45-60 min lol But I think I can make it happen. We don't start moving till the last week of the month so I a in the clear for now! that's the week I will struggle haha....
    best of luck everyone!

    Love these challenges. Last week was awesome, and something that I really needed to work on: drinking enough water. Last Saturday 2/26, I weighed 193. By Monday, my weight had ballooned to 197.5. I knew it was because I was not drinking enough water and going way over on the sodium. This week I finally made it to 191.5. I lost the water weight I had gained plus lost another 1.5 lbs. Looking forward to this challenge!! Good luck everyone!

    Starting weight (2/28/11): 197.5
    3/7/11: 191.5
