New Year's Resolution
I saw on tv last night that the most popular resolution for New Year's is to lose weight. That doesn't surprise me at all. Everybody seems to want to lose weight. The hardest part for me is getting up the motivation to work out and the willpower to resist foods that I shouldn't be eating as much as I do. I read this quote…

I don't have any witty, sarcastic name for the challenge so it will be referred to as "Black Team Challenge Week 9" (Creative, huh?)

calculating home-cooked meals
My husband and I are trying to cook food at home more instead of eating out so much. Today I made a 30 minute meal beef stroganoff recipe. My question is do I enter everything I put in the meal?

I don't to eat my pizza greasy so I always use a paper towel and soak up a lot of the grease on top before I eat it. Does anybody have any idea to figure out how many calories/fat I shave off by doing that?

picky eater
Does anybody have any good recipes for relatively plain meals? I'm really picky. I like chicken, beef, turkey, and pork but I don't like marinades or sauces. I get bored just eating deli meat or turkey breast all the time. So I end up eating pizza, mac and cheese, grilled cheese, all kinds of bad for me foods. If anybody…

help
Lately I've been getting really bad charlie-horses in my calves. I wanted to know what could be causing this and if there are any excercises or foods that could help them go away. Somebody told me that I need to drink more water. Somebody else told me I'm not getting enough salt. But I don't want to drink more water if I'm…
