Get Fit For 2010 Giveaway: Challenge 5, Share a Healthy Recipe

We've all been journaling about our food and fitness, but now it's time to take to the kitchen.

We've all been journaling about our food and fitness, but now it's time to take to the kitchen. This week's challenge: post a recipe in the Get Fit For 2010 community group using the recipe template and be sure to add your original photo. Cooking your own meals is a great way to watch not only your calories but portion sizes as well. And since we are all in this together, swapping recipes is a great way to refresh your home cooked meals. Here's the 411 on how to create a recipe in the Get Fit group. When you post your recipe in the community group, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win our weekly prize — a $100 Nike gift card.

Meeting this challenge also enters you to win our fabulous grand prize: a $1,000 gift card from Nike; a year of personalized nutrition plans by nutritionist Alexa Fishback, plus a copy of her book; a year membership to 24 Hour Fitness for you and a friend; and two Bodybuggs. At the end of three months, we will pick a grand prize winner at random from all of the entries in all of the weekly challenges. The more you participate, the more chances you have to win the grand prize! A little extra motivation to help you meet your healthy goals for 2010.

You have until 11:59 p.m. PST on Sunday, Feb. 14, to complete this fifth challenge. Let's get cooking!

Announcing Our Thanksgiving Recipe Challenge!

Calling all home cooks: Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we want you to share your tried and trusted recipes in the community.

Calling all home cooks: Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we want you to share your tried and trusted recipes in the community. Just join the Kitchen Goddess group and go hog wild! Does your giblet gravy get rave reviews? Do people fight over the last of your sweet potato casserole? Is everyone always asking for the secret to your green beans? Now's your chance to show us what you've got. Upload your recipes along with a photo and a brief description of the dish to the Kitchen Goddess group. All month long, we'll be selecting our favorite recipes and featuring them here on YumSugar. Imagine the satisfaction you'll have on Thanksgiving dinner when you sister-in-law says, "this stuffing is the best I've ever tasted," and you coolly reply, "I know. It was featured on YumSugar. I'll send you the link to the recipe." So what are you waiting for? Start typing up those recipes now! To learn how to post recipes, check out this guide.
