Favorite National Parks to hike in...
I joined this group after a couple of you asked me too...I'm assuming that you noticed me b/c of my "name". I feel a little funny being a part of the group b/c I don't hike regularly but I have to say I LOVE hiking and really need to do it more often.

One Year on MFP--Story & Pics
Well it’s been one year since I started this little journey. When I signed in a year ago, I had no idea what MFP was all about.

Quick Easy Amazing Chicken Recipe
OK...I only had a few minutes to get something in the oven before I had to head out for an hour so I quickly cleaned a skinless, boneless chicken breast and placed it on 2 layers of aluminum foil with a spray of Pam on the bottom to keep it from sticking. I then chopped up about a 1/2 cup of sweet onion, a cup of zucchini,…

Your thoughts on how much water we should be drinking...
I'm just curious to hear from the "experts" out there on how much water we should be drinking if we are trying to lose weight... This weekend, I was talking with a neighbor who is on a Doctor supervised plan and it is a little wacky but one of the things she is supposed to do is drink 1/2 of her body weight in ounces of…
