'All things fruit and vegetable all beetroots great and small' 10/10 Club - all welcome-

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

IdrisTheDragon · 22/09/2007 22:01

Can we do a thing where we all have to arrange ourselves by height without saying anything, or some similar ice-breaking type game thing (although we don't really need to ice break).

IdrisTheDragon · 22/09/2007 22:02

I read thread about weird father.

ahundredtimes · 22/09/2007 22:03

I'm standing next to TooT, I am just a bit taller than you. I am your best bet for trousers TooT, especially given my joy of black clothing I will investigate tomorrow but am still not hopeful.

IdrisTheDragon · 22/09/2007 22:04

I am 3 and a half inches taller. Than TooT, not knowing how tall 100x is.

TooT - are you still here? I have jeans.

okay - diesel size 28, I am 5'6" and when I hold them up to me they are about 3" short so should be perfect.

Is 28 a 10?

Oh please have them please. I am racked with guilt having them under my roof.

BBBee · 22/09/2007 22:08

TooT - the jeans never never ever fitted me.

Please have them.

FrannyandZooey · 22/09/2007 22:08

I am standing at the other end of the room from TooT, waiting nervously to see if anyone is going to join me

ahundredtimes · 22/09/2007 22:12

Golly, how tall are you Franny? Are you 7ft or something?

BBBee · 22/09/2007 22:13

Tatties · 22/09/2007 22:13

I am 5'3, so I reckon I'm standing next to TooT

ahundredtimes · 22/09/2007 22:13

TooTs run off. I'm going to rummage now. I shall be back shortly.

BBBee · 22/09/2007 22:13

where's Toot?

I want to give her my diesel jeans.

ahundredtimes · 22/09/2007 22:14

No Tatties, I am next to TooT, you are next to me. We are the short arse end of the line.

BBBee · 22/09/2007 22:14

oh you are all little dinkies.

FrannyandZooey · 22/09/2007 22:14

I reckon FK is taller than me

If we say how tall we are it spoils the game doesn't it?

I am taller than anyone else has implied they are so far, but I am not immensely tall no

Tatties · 22/09/2007 22:15

Oh I've spoilt it then

Carotte · 22/09/2007 22:15
