nice work 

:)  

Great to meet you today. Thank you for helping me. Keep on keeping on😃 

Hi Tara, so far so good. I'm trying to put effort into eating meals and snacks a couple of hours apart. I was happily surprised when I weighed myself this am. I can't wait to weigh in at the office. 

Great job! Looking forward to seeing you in July :-) You are also always free to stop in our office and weigh in if you want an "official" reading on our scale--just let us know. 

I need some ideas about how to get 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. I usually can get 3, 

Try doubling your servings of veggies: If you normally eat one cup of salad, go for two. Halve the amount of meat you use in recipes, and double the amount of veggies and legumes (or add them if they're not there). For example, instead of using two pounds of ground beef in a chili recipe, use one pound and double up on onions, peppers, mushrooms, cans of chili beans, etc. Eat fruit at breakfast, have it at snacks and have it in place of a sugary dessert. Do any of those suggestions sound helpful? 

Thanks I have already started to implement
