This comes up, and does not change even when I change the string 'entry' to something like 'item'.

namespace Treehouse.FitnessFrog {
class Program { static void Main() { int runningTotal = 0;
bool keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing)
{
// Prompt the user for minutes exercised
Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you exercised: ");
string entry = Console.ReadLine();
// Add minutes exercised to total
int minutes = int.Parse(entry);
runningTotal = runningTotal + minutes;
// Display total minutes exercised to the screen
Console.WriteLine("You've entered " + runningTotal + "minutes.");
// Repeat until the user quits

But you'll also need some additional code inside the loop to change the value of "keepGoing" so the program can end when the user wants to quit.
