I make chili regularly in the winter. 2 lbs ground turkey (pre-cooked), 2 cans kidney beans (rinsed and drained, each 15 oz each), 2 cans diced tomatoes (no sugar added), 2 cans tomato sauce (not the pasta kind, no sugar/salt added), 1/3 cup chili powder, 1/4 cup cumin, a diced onion (or minced onions, which we prefer), a…

I don't hate the gym, but I don't particularly enjoy it either. Right now, I'm doing my workouts at home with a DVD. When it's time to up the ante and start with the heavier weights, I'm going to have to start going back to the gym. In the mean time, I enjoy not having to drive to the gym.

On average, you need an additional 500 calories every day to support healthy milk production because of all of the calories burned by the production of said milk. If I'm not mistaken, MFP has a way to choose that you're breastfeeding when they calculate your daily caloric needs.

I've lost around 30 lbs in the past, so I know how to do it...it's just keeping…

I use at home workouts from Beachbody. My personal favorite is Turbo Jam since it's not as hardcore as the other ones and actually allows me to work at my level without feeling guilty. I try to get to the gym, but I don't always have the desire to be around otherh people.

On any given day, your weight can fluctuate up to 10 lbs. During your period, you'll retain a lot more water, and it will seem like you lost very little weight, but that comes right back off once your period is over. I don't weigh myself when it's near my period because the numbers on the scale will be incorrect. If you're…

Food Addiction is a very real issue, no matter what other people may say. It is a direct result of the way that prepackaged food is made, and the way that those ingredients work within our system. Many different types of junk food have additives in it that attack the same part of your brain that drugs like cocaine and…
