    Sorry gang, I was sick all weekend (still am) and didn't make it to the gym, which means I couldn't weigh in. I may still go to AquaFitness tonight and weigh-in there, but I may also go home early and sleep :P

    Also, I'm on a restricted diet for Crohn's Disease, and my fruit intake is severely restricted. I don't think I can do this week's challenge.

    In the main post, someone else brought this issue up, and you won't lose points if you can't eat fruit because of dietary restrictions. Not that we're doing this for the points, but I just wanted to let you know so you don't worry about it (not that you should have anyway...).

    hi guys!

    i ate 4 servings of fruit yesterday and will pobably be close to the same today - LOVE fruit! my carb count was so high yesterday (due in part to fruit) but i figure carbs from fruit is way better than carbs from a box of processed crackers or somethin'... right?

    anyway, had a weekend of tough workouts and still feel sore today. did JM No More Trouble Zones on saturday and a 4 mile run on sunday. yesterday was rest, and tonight is a 3 mile run - so far so good on the 10K training! sticking to the plan like glue!

    my goal for saturday is 157.0, but i snuck on the scale this morning and it was 156.2! hope it stays there or goes even lower! really want to blow it out of the water this week!

    congrats to everyone on your progress so far - you all are AWESOME!

    How is everyone doing with the fruit? I went grocery shopping today and stocked up! The first day I only got one serving of fruit in I i forgot oops. But two every day since! No excersize tonight because had some unexpected guests so hopefully I don't go over calf tonight. keep up good work everybody!

    Monday: 1 nectarine, 1 serving of grapes
    Tuesday: 1 nectarine, 1 serving of blueberries
    Wednesday: 1 pear, 1 serving of grapes/blueberries, 1 banana

    I'm really enjoying this challenge because it's getting me to eat all the fruit that I love, but that I usually forget to eat.

    Sorry gang, I've been sick sick sick. Not having gone to the gym, I have no idea where my weight is right now, so can't set goals or anything. Guess I'm out :(

    Hey guys-

    Tonight I really really wanted some chocolate, and the only thing I had at home were Girl Scout Cookies, which I swore off for the challenge this week. It was really hard, but I resisted just for you guys :wink:. I ended up finding a chocolate magic straw, and used it with a glass of milk which hit the spot. Just wanted to let you know that you all helped me stay strong tonight :tongue:.

    hey guys, not many of us left but we can do this! I have actually stopped strength training to get me through this plateau (which it has!) so this challenge comes at a bad time lol. But I'll still do it! Maybe a couple rounds of ripped in 30. Good luck!
