Breastfeeding/pumping/nursing.
I do a mixture of pumping and nursing. I was told I burn calories when doing so. How many calories can I add for that?

Sweet Potatoes
Hello everyone! Okay, so I've just started having this love affair with sweet potatoes within the last week or so. I understand that they are good for you, but my problem is determining the size of the sweet potato for tracking. I don't have food scale (not currently in my budget) but i wanted to know if there is another…

How would you count this?
I would just like some opinions on how to count this. I sometimes flavor vegetables (i.e. green beans) with smoked turkey wings, but I don't actually eat the meat. I'm sure this adds some calories to it, but I'm not really sure how to count it when I'm not eating the meat that I flavor it with. I've been adding the…

Black Girls Work Out Too

I could actually make this easier on…

Last night I decided to try it and even though I ate dinner, I began feeling hungry, so I drank water, which didn't do…

How to calculate calories
Okay, so this may have been asked before, but how would I calculate how many calories I've burned from a workout dvd? Sometimes I'll do Jeanette Jenkins bikini bootcamp and just about everyday I do the Black Girls Workout Too dvd (yes that is the real name and yes it's for everyone lol). One dvd says it'll burn up to 500…

New Here
Hello everyone! I joined this site back in January but really hated calorie counting, so I never logged back in. I have a dress to fit into for my sister's wedding in November that I bought two sizes too small ( I could fit it, but i just couldn't breathe). I am currently doing another weight loss program, but the fact it…
