Low Cal Super Flavorful Turkey Chili
Hey everyone! I have had a few people ask for my chili recipe so I figured I would put it on here for you guys to try! The chili recipe is awesome. Its super low calorie since I use lean ground turkey instead of beef, and I usually eat 2 huge bowls of it for around 500 calories or so. When it comes to seasoning, I will…

HUGE NSV
Hey Everyone! I woke up this morning, weighed myself, and had a thought. I can see a difference in the mirror, but why is the scale still being so stubborn? I hadn't eaten or drank anything yet today so I called the HAWC (Heath and Wellness Center) on base and asked if they had any BodPod openings this morning. They said…

Score on Shiritaki noodles!

Vietnamese Seafood Pho
My pho is assembled in 3 stages. Stage 1 is the bowl, stage 2 is the broth, stage 3 is the assembly. For stage 1, prepare the separate ingredients, then layer into your bowl. If you don't want to use seafood, cook it separately then add to the bowl. When making the broth, add all the ingredients except Snow Peas and eggs.…

My Motivation
Hey everyone. I have been on MFP for a few weeks now and I wanted to get a good idea of the community before I did anything like this.

Fitbit on a treadmill?
Ok, I looked up the info on the fitbit that I have, and it says that it can't track stairs climbed on a stair machine since it actually uses elevation. I was wondering, however, how accurate it is on a treadmill. We just bought one and are waiting for amazon to get it here. When using it, is the fitbit going to accurately…
