    MMMM Perfect for the summer!!! Try this Pinapple-Raspberry Parfait, you can mix up the fruits! I love it with mangos and strawberries. You can use light whipping cream with a dash white powdered sugar if you want to add a bit of sweetness and it wont up the cals too much but anyway, this is the super healthy version.

    INGREDIENTS
    2 8-ounce containers (2 cups) nonfat peach yogurt
    1/2 pint fresh raspberries, (about 1 1/4 cups)
    1 1/2 cups fresh, frozen or canned pineapple chunks

    PREPARATION
    Divide and layer yogurt, raspberries and pineapple into 4 glasses.
    NUTRITION
    Per serving: 109 calories; 0 g fat ( 0 g sat , 0 g mono ); 2 mg cholesterol; 23 g carbohydrates; 5 g protein; 3 g fiber; 58 mg sodium; 113 mg potassium.

    Nutrition Bonus: Vitamin C (60% daily value), Calcium (15% dv).

    Carbohydrate Servings: 1 1/2

    Exchanges: 1/2 reduced-fat milk, 1 frui

    This is my vote!

    Emotional challenge:
    Someone in your life that has contributed to your weight gain....how will this change once you love yourself....
    As I have mentioned before, the biggest contributor to the emotional binges, was my mom. I never felt as if i was what she wanted or what she expected me to be. I remember just conitnuously trying and trying to do thing sthat made her happy adn in the end getting shut down. I began to love myself around the age of 19, when i realized it was time to start pleasing myself. Since then my weight was always the same until i got pregnant. This ofcourse was another reason to hear it from mom, since i am unwed. The good thing was that this time i didnt let her get to me. Now, my drive is my daughter. I started this weightloss to show her healthy living but also, so that she will see that healthy doesnt always mean thin. I am determined to be healthy even if im not thin. I dont expect to be a size "0" i expect to change my life and seperate food from emotion. I love myself enough to stop pleasing others, especially my mom and start jus being me!

    I made another spreadsheet for this challenge please enter in your calorie burns there daily along with your goal.
    https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnwPqv9GV3KzdEF1LXBGRGZHMzlvVGNrdk5WTXJKbFE&hl=en_US

    Please remember to post on your thread how you burned your calories and how many you burned each day, I think this will give us all some new ideas.

    Day 2 Challenge - 40 Squats
    Day 3 Challenge - 50 situps or ab crunches

    Food Challenge: Healthy Kids Meal
    Recipe challenge- for this challenge we will each submit a Kids Meal recipe to our team thread, you will receive 1 point for this, take a vote on your team and then submit the best Kids recipe to our main thread, we will then all vote for the best recipe on the main thread and the team with the most votes will receive 1 extra point for this challenge. (the catch is you cannot vote for your own team). Remember to include the nutritional content in your receipe.

    Cardio: Goal for me is 2600 calories burned. Gonna be hard because i typically burn 2000 or so but I will try lol

    Strength:
    Wednesday: 50 Leg Raises (each side)
    Thursday: 40 Squats
    Friday: 50 situps or ab crunches
    Saturday: Rest day!!
    Sunday - 40 "Up & Downs"

    Emotional Challenge:
    I always blamed my weight on my pregnancies, when in reality, I was 80lb overweight before I even got pregnant with my oldest. Im in the mindset now that *I* am responsible for my weight by not being aware of exactly how much I was shoving in my face and *I* am the only one who can change it.

    Emotional Challenge: I agree with You Devin...blaming my pregnancies too but I was 215lbs when I got married...gained 30lbs from the time I met my husband til I got married....in only a year and a half from eating terribly! I worked at a doctors clinic where food was catered in for lunch ( they were like 4 course meals!!) and someone was always having a potluck for something!! Not to mention trying to match my husband's eating....he can eat ALOT!! So now this is my turn to stop making excuses and get my butt in gear!! I know what to do and how to get there just need to not give up and stick with it especially when that dang scale stalls!!
