Week 2 Challenges

I've decided to start threads for the challenges, and I'll post new ones every week with a sticky so you know which one we're on.
Okay, so here's a few ideas of ways to challenge yourself for week 2 and help you along with your weight loss goals!
Jumping jacks! - It only takes a couple minutes to do a set of 100 jumping jacks. How many can you do in a week? See if you can beat your record by the end of the week!
Fiber - Try to eat the suggested value of fiber every day. This should help keep you full and *ahem* "regular". If you don't know how much fiber to eat in a day, according to a formula from the Institute of Medicine, you should eat about 14 grams per 1000 calories.
Here is a link to a list of high fiber foods to help you along with this challenge: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/high-fiber-foods/NU00582
Good luck!

To see your Fiber intake goal on your diary, follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Diary Settings > under your macros (Carbs, Protein and Fat) you'll see a couple more drop down menu boxes. You can find and select Fiber in one of these and then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Please Note** Your fiber goal will increase as you exercise.0 -
