Glad to see everyone is doing so well this week with their fruits! I did have one serving of fruit with my sub this afternoon but I doubt this is a challenge I will do very well with, unless tomato soup counts...lol

Quick question though--I'm pretty new to myfitnesspal.com and was wondering if you have to copy and paste the html code for your ticker every time you post--or is there a way to save it?

I've really been concentrating on activity--at least a 35 minute walk daily and I'm having fun experimenting with Wii Fit! I've tried several of the various Wii Fit games and my knees definitely feel it. For right now I think I'm going to stick with the Wii Fit game that came with the balance board. I really enjoy the balance board! Does anyone have any suggestions for other Wii Fit games--I seem to enjoy the ones the most that keep you accountable either balance board or remote/nunchuk involvement.

Good luck to everyone this week!!

yes you paste your ticker under settings in your home page. it will stay there and update as you update your weight...

okay so I did good with my fruit today but yet again not so much with my water....only a bottle and a half so 3 glasses....and I went over my calories:sad:
I had to go to my step sons track banquet and I hadnt eaten (i didnt know it would last 3 hours) so I ate there and its was hamburgers....WOW! lots of calories there.
So I have to definately hit the gym tomorrow. Maybe in the morning before work if I can get motivated...
I hope everyone else is doing great and did lots better than me.
Good luck and maybe tomorrow will be a much better day for me! Good night all!!!

HI!!!!!! how is everybody doing??? oh my goodness!! the green team has GROWN! that is just soooo GREAT! HI SASSIE!! HI PORKA!! HI SHANNON!! HI AML!! and the rest of GREEN TEAM!! looks like everyone is doing pretty good with the fruit challenge, so far i have done 2-3 servings on all days' cept Sunday. Still busy here, track is over, and our girls have events going onto state...YIPPY! 4 more field trips, and 7 1/2 DAYS LEFT!!!! WOOT WOOT!! :laugh: dh and youngest son will be leaving the 29th for a week of fishing in Canada. i will have the house to myself, w/19yo son, and my puggers, i have requested NO activity driving then....so it will be a lil vaca for me as well! i can't wait! i finally bought some annuals today and will plant them Wednesday. we just had our last batch of morel mushrooms tonite too. none til next year. they find them on my inlaws farm, last hunt we bagged over 7 lbs!!

sassie, soo good to have you back hon! and ceasing the smokes! i am sooo PROUD of YOU!! that is major dear! what a great thing for your body!

shannon, ahhhh, finals are done and your back is better....you must feel much less stressed!

i just want to say with the fruit challenge, it does help having a few variaties availble at all times. i even freeze some so they wont go to waste. another plus with fruits and veggies, is it helps boost your immune system. i have not been sick in over 7 months, and my family is on their 2nd round of colds. i try to eat an orange every day. oh, and the scale, i weigh almost daily. and i record it as well, for me, there is a slight pattern, and not sure what it will show once i get to goal, but it is interesting. yeah, the 'cycle' can offset things 1-3 weeks for me. but if i eat very healthy, watch salt intake and keep my water intake above 64 fl oz, i will actually keep losing those 1-3 weeks. i know it is different with everyone. just understand your body when a gain shows at that time.....don't beat yourself up, just keep on with your healthy lifestyle....that is all you can do, really!

does everyone have a set plan for their workouts/exercise routines? mine will be changing here when school is done. mine will likely take place in the am since it will be cooler....and i can get it out of the way.

i see my cardiologist the 29th, and hope the report is good! it has been a year and there are changes!!

well, i am glad to see all the new folks here and the regulars....still missing some, loser4real, purrrr, holly 78, yeahbuddy, velvetwing, and many many more....... i really hope they come back soon.....

have a great week buddies......4 more days til weigh in. remember why you are here and daily be serious about your health......be the you you were meant to be!! GO GREEN!

:bigsmile: got all the fruit in for today as well
OJ and apple and a slice of cantaloupe

looks good aml.....yes, i sure miss purrrr, anyone heard anything? wonder if she is lurking under a new name? HIIIIIII PURRRRR!

i have my theory test today for driving, so all brain food is going to be eaten today :laugh:

I had 3 serving of fruit yesterday. and stayed on my low carb diet. AND HAD LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER.. Hope to have another good day.

They were stressful...and my back is feeling better, for any who are wondering... I am ready! So the challenge is eating fruit?

I had a cup of watermelon today.

So glad your back is doing better, I know its been frustrating for you. As you can see we got some new members and weight in is Friday now

Thank you! what is the challenge exactly? how much fruit? Today I had watermelon and an apple

kellya - I haven't had morel mushrooms since I lived in VA as a child. Good thing, my granny used to fry them in flour batter. :noway: I miss purrr too, was there a problem other than the family and moving? Maybe she will re-surface.

ami 0 my weight looks good on the chart, thanks for helpin out!
jacque - thanks for all your effprts on our secondary venture!
