What would happen to me if i just eat fruit and vegetables? Ive only had 1 meal in the last 10days and have lived off fruit the other days and i feel fine.

Your body needs certain nutrients to survive in a healthy manner. Especially for a woman, you need calcium, which I don't think a straight fruit and veggie diet can provide you with enough. Also, you need protein and other vitamins that you would not be getting enough of in just f+v.
If I were you, I would talk to a dietician about the effects of eating this way for too long, as I certaily am no expert, but I can't see it being enough.

If you are not eating meat or protein your need for calcium decreases. Broccoli is a good source. If you are feeling well you are probably not too far off the track. You might want to add some nuts. Then listen to your body. If you start to feel weak you might want to start eating more conventionally. I have known a lot of people who have been complete vegans for years and they do quite well. I have also seen other people become weak and sick eating this way.

If you go too long on this type of diet, you begin to make questionable clothing choices. :)

Sounds good to me. Just make sure you get everything you need, ie B12, calcium ... And try adding nuts to that.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
