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.

100x - are you mocking my epiphany?

I can go back to lurking if I'm not welcome.

AVegetableLurker · 31/07/2008 20:54

kumquats, dragonfruit, romanesco, carvalo nero and a little bit of lollo rosso

FrannyandZooey · 31/07/2008 20:58

100 mocks everyone
everyone must stay
it's like a masked ball
with vegetables

FandZ - have you tried putting peas in your cauliflower cheese? Is a good way to bump the portions up if you're having a ready meal kinda day.

FrannyandZooey · 31/07/2008 21:06

can we have some REAL lurkers please?

OsmosisBanana · 31/07/2008 21:06

DH just said in the car, 'this is the largest I've ever known you, except for when you were pregnant' and now he is cross with me because I don't want to talk about it.

How can he not have understood one, nay the golden rule when dealing female folk.

Fuckwit.

It is true that i am larger, but nonetheless.

1/2 a pepper
1/2 an onion

How did you know his name was limpy?

Boco · 31/07/2008 21:06

I'm very confused now.

Are there any real genuine lurkers that we can keep and tame?

OsmosisBanana · 31/07/2008 21:07

LLT isn't me, I've been in the car glowering at limpy.

FrannyandZooey · 31/07/2008 21:08

dp has decided the best way to reassure me about my current shape is to pretend he finds it really attractive
he has invented a website called postnatalwomen.com that he pretends to visit for stimulative purposes
he finds this very entertaining

FrannyandZooey · 31/07/2008 21:09

ok LLT is

oh I don't know
there was vegetablefan as well

well none of them was me
I was too busy eating grim cauliflower cheese and dulce de leche ice cream

OsmosisBanana · 31/07/2008 21:09

LOL at postnatalwomen.com. Sounds er specialist!

pinkspottywellies · 31/07/2008 21:11

Lol at Limpy

I must away to bed.

No-one noticed that I've been scrapping (see earlier post about scrapping on bf thread)! I can't believe no-one was shocked! I'm usually so amiable.

Guadalupe · 31/07/2008 21:12

I am not Cybil, I am vegetablefan

lol at postnatal.com, that is hilarious. Some large black knickers will be winging their way to you soon.

100x - was I really sniffy and taking oatcakes? I didn't eat them. The hotel buffet was amazing. I still think about it.

BBBee · 31/07/2008 21:13

I am off to visit a thread of yore

wish me luck as i go with just a co-codomol and an ice-cream crunchie to protect me.

I trust father time has been kind to us.

Farewell.

AVegetableLurker · 31/07/2008 21:14

Boco · 31/07/2008 21:17

If you come back Bee, please recap me in a pleasing light.

Guadalupe · 31/07/2008 21:18

Guadalupe · 31/07/2008 21:18

Boco · 31/07/2008 21:19

You bluffer. Or is this a double bluff?

FrannyandZooey · 31/07/2008 21:19

Boco · 31/07/2008 21:20

FrannyandZooey · 31/07/2008 21:22

Cybil · 31/07/2008 21:23
