Help! Need Chicken Recipes
So my boyfriend and I went to my parents last night and they gave us a bunch of chicken breasts.

This morning I decided to weigh myself and to my utter disgust, I gained 2 pounds. This puts me at my highest weight, 275lbs.

First NSV
Today one of my coworker's wife (also a good friend of mine) brought in fresh cinnamon rolls to the office. My coworker walks into my office with this huge cinnamon roll in his hand. I took one look at him and said "Get Out!". He made my office smell of sugary goodness...but I still resisted the urge. They were sitting on…

Acronym Help
I'm new to MFP and I have noticed in the Success Stories the acronym NSV is used a lot. I'm trying to figure out what is means. Can someone help me out? Sorry, feel a little dumb posting this... But to make it fun, is there an acronym you use a lot on a daily basis that other people might not know what your talking about?…
