How do you keep turkey burgers from getting dry?
I love turkey burgers. I make mine with a bit of garlic and onion powder with 99/1 extra lean turkey. Ive tried putting different sauces and marinades in them but they still turn out dry. More so if I broil them instead of grilling. Suggestions plz!!!!

Q for Personal Trainers. Will my certification from a vocati
I keep getting told that to be taken seriously as a personal trainer I will HAVE to get an A.C.E or similar cert. and that the certification I've been working on for a year from a vocational school is basically useless. This is very very discouraging. I have 3 more exams to go but I just have no motivation to finish right…

Need advice from you gardening folk.
So last summer I planted a really nice garden but I didn't keep up with it and it quickly got overgrown with weeds. Just now I was digging up weeds that were literally the size of small trees. Now what I have left over is the really thin grassy like stuff and some really small weeds. I can't pull this stuff up individually…

Fast Easy Potluck recipes
My family's yearly reunion is next Saturday and it's pretty much a pot luck. All of the main courses are taken care of but we can bring other stuff if we would like. I need an idea for something to bring. Preferably something healthy, affordable, easy to make, and won't have to be kept warm or anything. Some sort of finger…

The Mirrors at the Gym
I've always HATED the mirrors at the gym. I always knew they were there for a reason, they help people check their form. But to me they were always a horrid obnoxious reminder of how fat I was. Even after I lost a ton of weight I still look in the mirror (not just the ones at the gym) and see the fat unhealthy me. I just…

Dealing with an over sensitive co worker.
Just recently we had to bring in some managers from other stores to help while our store manager was on medical leave. One of the girls that came to help might be staying with us permanently and I don't have anything against her and she's a nice person for the most part. The thing is she is seriously morbidly obese and she…

An important NSV for me today.
Today I went to Bob Evan's fully intending to eat healthy. It turned out something happened where we ended up having to wait a little extra longer for our food. We didn't complain or anything but our waitress offered us free desert. I really wish that my NSV was that I had said no to the desert. I really wish I had that…

NSV - The Bikini
So I'm gonna start by saying that I totally fell off the wagon more than a few months ago but thank heaven I didn't regain ALL of the weight back. Anywho. Being that it's getting warm out it was time to go swim suit shopping. But apparently bathing suit designers didn't get the memo that obesity is an epidemic in this…

I have a confession to make.
As some of my friends may have noticed I've been having a really rough time with this diet exercise thing lately. I'm very tired and unmotivated and though I haven't dove into a complete depression I'm not very happy lately. But I really need to get something off my chest. Something I haven't even told my boyfriend and…

How does one go about becoming a personal trainer?
I've been working at the same crappy minimum wage job for three years. It's my own fault since I dropped out of college because for one I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life and I needed to get away from my parents. Now that I'm becoming more fit and I'm getting close to my goal I've decided what I'd like…
