A bagel can be up to 5 servings of grains depending on the size.
The following fat sources are not recommended: peanut oil, corn oil OR palm oil.
Calculating salad for veggies is different.
1 cup of salad=1/2 serving, so 2 cups of salad=1 serving.

Deep red or green leaves preferred.
Watch out for the dressing.
Try using your fork to dip into dressing before you eat salad instead. You'll use less

Comment by Mandy Herrera on April 11, 2012 at 9:59am Thanks for accepting me to this wonderful sistahood. My blog on why this makes me so happy. This acceptance makes me responsible for me and I needed that. http://confessionofamess.blogspot.com/
Comment by JP Shaw on April 6, 2012 at 7:37pm I'm new here and want to pledge myself to the sistas. This is a huge huge step for me, finally doing something for myself and nobody else. It's hard but I'm ready. Here is my first post on why I want to be a mamavation mom http://rantsnrascals.com/2012/04/why-i-want-to-be-a-mamavation-mom.... I hope to learn from everyone, get some support, inspire others and find myself again in this journey I'm about to embark on.
Comment by Kristina Rouse Higgins on January 9, 2012 at 6:44am I started the challenge today with the rest of the Sisahood! I am excited - I also decided to apply for the Mamavation Boot Camp, below is my video (no judgement please, I kept thinking I should get all ready, and then have someone record it for me, and all this but I knew that if I waited I would procrastinate and never get it done SOO I went into the bathroom while the kids were busy and did my video, LOL).
So excited to be joining!

Comment by Ghada Vanderpool on November 29, 2011 at 1:53pm Have you guys heard that Exercise TV is closing down in December? They have a crazy sale on DVDs going on, some are $1! I've used some of their Jiliian workouts and Cindy what's-her-name in the past, so thinking of ordering some a they are good value.
