How fast does your body turn calories into fat?
Ok, odd question, and I had no other idea how to phrase the title :) Anyway- I am wondering how fast your body turns something into fat? Let's say I ate more than usual yesterday (ate a burger I have been craving for weeks...man, it was good!)- Anyway, not that it really matters, because it isn't like I can take it back,…

Looking for a healthy "pork fried rice" recipe!
Need a healthy "pork fried rice" recipe! Got just about 1/2 lb pork left over and some brown/white rice mix. Anyone ever make a recipe filled with veggies you love?? Made with things on hand. We don't keep a lot of condiments around, but I can always substitute if I find a good base. Thanks so much!

HRM vs. Treadmill burn
I am sure there are boards around here that answer this Q, and I am sorry if that is the case (I just had no idea what to search for in the search bar). Anyway- so, I got a HRM at the store today, and set it all up and decided to try it out. For a 35 minute run/walk (I am still rather out of shape), my treadmill says I…

Chickpeas
I would LOVE some recipes for chick peas! We have some, and quite frankly, I can't find too many on the computer that aren't either way complicated, or I doubt my family would eat it (and we can get adventurous- the only thing the kids dont eat well is soup- so random!) Thanks in advance :)

Cranberry recipes needed :)
So, I bought some fresh cranberries at the store the other day, because I just could not pass up the price! However- I have NO clue what to do with them! My kids are brave and tried them raw (to which they spit it out, which is very rare for them. Ha! The only other thing I have seen one of my kids spit out is shrimp).…

Research help :)
So, I will be scouring MFP, the internet, and hopefully the library as well if I can get down there without the kids- but I will be writing a guest blog post for a friend of mine, and I have chosen a topic. On how many people eat very little, work their bodies to death, and how it works. For a while, until their bodies…

Where to get running shoes?
So- I had this written on my wall (and just excited, so I am posting it here, too!) (I am a former runner turned fatty) Um, I just ran an 11 minute mile...7 minutes and then 4 minutes with a 30 minute break...Kinda feeling like super woman. I think I might be keeping the incline low for a while! Like, I went .65 miles…

Losing Motivation?
I wasn't expecting it, but I seem to be lacking motivation after the Christmas season (in which I was reasonable, but ate what I wanted- I maintained)...I have some oomph left in my I guess, but there is something lacking. I'm not even sure what I am asking for, actually...motivation? friends? I have no clue :o

Husband's got a question :)
So, he loves cereal in the morning. Always has. One of his favorite cereals says it has, per cup, just 110 calories. But, it also says next to the cup, 31g. Well, we finally got a food scale for Christmas, and he weighed his cereal. He measured out one cup, went to weigh it, and the one cup is around 65g per cup. His…

Quick ideas for avocado
So I have a couple hundred calories left for the day and have two avocados- and I often eat just the avocado, but not in the mood tonight. Have some of the stuff to make guacamole, but no chips. Any ideas on what to do with it? House is mildly bear-bones due to nothing having power (we are in MA- but kept our power- no one…

Dress Help! (Fun :))
edit to add- I would love other suggestions as well! I have no clue where else to look! This was just to give you an idea of what I am looking for :) So, I am looking for the perfect dress to buy (under $100) when I hit a size ten (I am naturally really curvy, so I might get lower, but I am not sure). It must be knee…

New friends :)
I would love to add a few friends on here! I am a SAHM, with three kiddos. Would just like to have more people on to chime in, to encourage back and forth, etc! Thanks so much! (Hope it is ok to post this here- I figured motivation and support was a good place to start.
