Best Turkey Chili
Since I started on MFP in Sept. 2011 I have been making this recipe. I freeze half and when it's all gone I whip up another batch.

Anyone use "Fitbit Ultra"? How does it compare to HRM?
Just curious. I came across the Fitbit Ultra on this site under "Tools" advertised for $99 Does anyone use this? Is a Heart Rate Monitor more/less accurate?

How many calories should I be consuming a day to lose weight
Confused.....According to MFP my BMR is 1,539 calories/day, however for the past 3.5 months I have been using a metabolic rate method that I found on Livestrong, and I’ve been losing an average of 2 lbs a week.
