I really liked this one - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/quick-turkey-chili.html I've also done this, but it took a lot of tweaking to make it healthy, so if you're a person who follows recipes by the letter it might not be the best idea.…

Wow the getting judgy about the amount of liquor is pretty off-putting. If she can handle it, why feel the need to judge? If she can't, it's going to be her terrible morning to live, not yours. To the OP - If you have time to plan for a "cheat day" when you don't have to worry about anything, just make sure your weekly…

That's really good for when you want a peanut butter flavor in smoothies (or cookies!), but it'd make a dry sandwich! Peanut butter should only have one ingredient: peanuts. Someone said above that you'll have to mix the oil back in but it's so worth it and you're not eating any weird preservatives.

Never had a crush on Tom, and started to downright distrust him after what he wore to the Bears game. Seriously - does the guy even know what football is? You don't wear designer accessories in front of your jersey.

She also makes a nice banana cream no sugar added pie with coconut milk, cool whip, and vanilla pudding... But I do love her all the same.

Not doing *too* badly. But I did hit up Taco Bell for dinner tonight. Managed to avoid the dreaded empanada. ... That was hard.

You probably should say no, but I wouldn't be able to do it. I've had a few nights where I've drank one too many, felt crap when I logged the calories, and felt crap in the morning. I would say just account for it and exercise and take it in moderation!

I've found that recently I don't have the motivation to work out in the morning, but more so right before I go to bed. Sometimes as late as 11 at night. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything I should watch out for, be aware of, etc....Should I just eat extra calories during the day so I really do exercise at night?

I personally try to give myself enough extra calories that if I end up going over, it's not by that much. (But I like drinking Guiness so really I have to exercise my *kitten* off to drink what I like). If I haven't planned on drinking later that evening, I try to do something that's somewhat low-cal like Miller Lite or a…

I got sick last week too and didn't work out for about five days. I didn't lose a lot, but I tried to do what I could, and now that I'm better you just have to pick it up again... You can do it!

I don't watch Oprah, but what I've read that you don't HAVE to drink 8 glasses. Drink what feels right for you. Don't over hydrate yourself for the sake of drinking 8 glasses of water, but don't dehydrate yourself either. I've found for me that drinking water has made me lose weight, but I drank about 4 diet cokes a day.…

When I was cooking for a vegetarian family I had to learn how to sneak a lot of protein into things. As everyone suggested there's eating more lean meat, nuts, etc... But what I tended to do was to replace things that required cream/milk/butter some sort of creamy thing with soft tofu that got blended into the sauce. But I…
