Favorite healthy slow cooker / crockpot recipes?
I'm working on my meal prep skills and just bought a slow cooker to do bulk cooking. My first meal was a lot less healthy than I meant it to be (baked ziti aka carbs and cheese). Fail.

Don't you burn calories with strength exercises?
When I enter in things like bikram yoga, it doesn't show any calories being burned. I feel like I am definitely burning something! Also, I'm sure that weight lifting, doing push ups, sit ups, etc burns calories. Why doesn't MFP count them?

Has anyone else heard this before? I'm not sure how much I trust the article... and I love drinking water with food. That's when I…

Frustrated, already :( ... but I know it's only been like a
I started about a week ago and am already getting frustrated :( I am trying to keep a positive mindset, but it sucks when I don't see any progress. I have been doing a bootcamp for 3 weeks now and nothing. I feel more energized, at least, but I haven't lost any weight. Not even a pound! I know I've made a couple of poor…
