I started doing this too because I don't get enough servings per day. Now... you are probably thinking GROSS!!! Which I did at first. But I gave it one week... and now I like it. My son is still iffy... but he will drink it some times.

Also Cora is right, if you tried v8 and you hate that too... adding fruits helps a lot. You can mask the taste of the veggies with the fruit, and it really does work!

Good luck

Thanks alot. I'm definitely going to try the fruit/veggie thing. I have a magic bullet that just sits on my counter so I will start using it. I need to find some good recipes. I'm sure searching online will help me with that.

Thanks for the comments to me about my back. It does hurt, and I did not over do anything at work. I actually got there and the cooler was not stocked since I did it Tuesday!! I called my boss who came down and stocked it for mwe and the other 2 people who were working got phone calls. I am really haappy to say I lost 2 pounds even though I didnt exercise much after I hurt my back. But I kept my calories in check and even though I am around soda, cappacinos etc. (all fountain drinks are free while on the clock and 25 cents off to employees) at work, I am happy to say i dont drink any of it. i drink unsweetened tea and ice water. I am staying away from gluten (wheat products) and I see a huge difference in my complexion. People cannot believe I am almost 39. i have been told over and over that I look 28. So I am happy about that!! Well good luck today on weigh in. I hope we kick some butt...

Good morning buddies! I've maintained again this week. I'm not that bummed b/c TOM is in FULL SWING so I'm sure once it's over I will show a couple pounds lost. I did really well this week. I just have to keep it together this weekend and not gain. I think I'm just going to stay away from cake all together!

Rabecca you will do good. you have your mind in a good place. Good luck and keep hanging in there.

Well before work today I have to take my son to a birthday party. He is really excited. Tonight is another 10 hour shift. I think I will do alright, but I am still not going to go oveerboard and cause any more starin on my back. I am really looking forward to the chiropractor Monday! I hope everyone does well today. Good luck!!!

Oh, and has anybody tried Body Bootcamp? Darn infomercials!!! I just ordered it in the middle of the night last night and I will be getting it when ever it gets here. I am hoping I didnt waste my money but it really looks like it may help with the flabby skin and belly; so I am going to try it.
