Fruit is good for you!!! Depending on how many calories per day you are eating there is an appropriate amount of fruit you need to eat....If you're eating 15 pieces of fruit a day, then yes, that is a little too much fruit sugar. But if you eat the proper amount within your caloric needs that is 100% healthy. Fruit has soooo many vitamins and minerals that are healthy for you, plus it's delicious.

I agree.....eat it, eat it

I struggled with the same thing..my family would order a huge pizza with all the add-ons and i'd be going crazy. Then my mom and I started making our own whole-wheat veggie pizzas (at first I was like....ew). Bit then the first one that I made came out really really good and I love em. We use whole wheat pizza dough from the grocery store, tomatos, broccoli, peppers, and low-fat cheese (used sparingly) and they always come out so tastey!!! And they can be really fun to make!

Swimming is a great exercise, I was a competitive swimmer for 10 years and the best shape i've ever been in was when I was swimming. Just make sure that your stroke techniques are correct before you begin to increase the amount that you swim or the intensity at which you swim; bad technique can lead to injury (I have bad tendonitis in my right shoulder because my freestyle strokes were off and I was swimming 10,000 yards a day with bad technique). Take it at your own pace in the beginning and listen to your body: know the difference between pain and a "burn" from exercise (that's what did me in, I didn't listen to my body, I was trying to be strong thinking that it was just my hard workouts that were burning but actually I was being stupid and injuring myself). Swimming can be really great, it's a nice departure from the treadmill.
