Thinking about CHIA SEEDS.. what do you think?
My husband recently stated that he would like to start counting calories and exercising to lose weight. THEN he said he would really like to take some kind of weight loss supplement to help him also =/ I am not a fan of taking weight loss supplements. It kind of freaks me out especially since they are not regulated, so I…

Hey MFPs!! I bought a cake for a going away party Friday (didn't have time to make something). Of course I got stuck bringing home like half of it.

Turbo Jam Sculpt
I did the 45 minute Turbo Jam "Turbo Sculpt" today (beast! squats hurt!). It is really strength training, but I can't figure out how to add it there. Instead I added it into cardio. Does anybody have a way to add it into strength training? Also! Give me a shout out if you love Turbo Jam!
