Looking for a killer recipe for turkey chili. Anyone?
I know there are hundreds of recipes out there for turkey chili, but does anyone have a recipe they can boast about? Something that the whole family loves or one where you've gotten lots of compliments? I'm tired of the canned stuff, although Dennison's makes my favorite, and I'm tired of making recipes that taste ucky!

"Fear Mongering"
Any time I see the label "fear mongering" here at MPF, I simply chalk it up to what it is - an overused, trite, common fallacy of logic and a synonym for “don't bother me with information that contradicts my position." Coincidentally, I see this phrase most often included in posts written by those who “have all the…

Hearts of Palm ideas?
Hey all, I love chilled hearts of palm with walnuts, a drizzle of olive oil and a smidge of Italian parsley; sometimes just sliced and added to salad. Was wondering if anyone else has a recipe for hearts of palm that's tasty? Given the price, I don't eat it every day (maybe that's why it seems so special to me), but if you…

What's in your closet?
Last week, I began the arduous task of cleaning out my closets and going through clothes. I began with a sense of excitement and delight (the weight is coming off - I can get rid of some of my "fat" pants), but I now feel "stuck." I've got every size from 8 to 20W and what an experience as I sort, re-sort, and shuffle…

Reps and sets
What's up with this? Why say "2 sets of 10" when one could just say "20"? What am I missing? This is driving me bonkers...

Help me save my boobs!
Okay, gentle friends - I'm setting aside my pride and asking for assistance with this:blushing:. I am thrilled to lose the weight and don't mean to whine, but my boobs are shrinking...NOT okay! I realize that it's just fat and there's no such thing as spot reducing (if there were, I'd have found a way to lose the belly)…

Weight loss and muscle
I try to add to my understanding of weight loss every week, and ran across an old study from the early 90s that helped me see the importance of muscle in the overall scheme of things. It motivated me to add resistance to my daily routine and wanted to share this with others who might not know how relevant muscle is to…

Warning! Errors in food data base!
Ugh! You might want to double check and reconfirm food item details in the mfp database. I've been loading up my sandwiches with .25 lbs of Butterball turkey pastrami because the database lists that weight at 80 calories (what a deal!!) The calories/nutrients were actually twice what was listed. No wonder I haven't been…

10 pounds lost, how many inches?
After my first month, I've lost 10 lbs. The better news is I've lost a combined 6 1/2 inches! If you've measured your weight loss and inches lost in the last month, post them here! :smile:

Best (inexpensive) way to measure BMI?
I had my BMI calculated through a weight loss program about 15 years ago (over 36% and I weighed 20 lbs less than what I weigh now - gross, I know. Are there any reliable, INEXPENSIVE tools available out there? Yes, my health is important, but I'm also really watching the budget right now.

Quick fix for frozen entrees with mashed potatoes
Love the convenience and portion control of many frozen entrees, but the mashed potatoes are so often runny I won't eat them. Fixed this with 1 tablespoon of instant mashed added in - makes them SO much better! Okay, maybe I added in 5 calories but worth every bite!

Last on, first off?
I read years ago that we lose fat in the reverse order we gained it. In other words, the last fat added is the first to come off. True? Has that been your experience? I'm carrying the really "bad" fat around the abdomen which some health care providers say is the worst fat on the body, and I did note that the first 10 lbs…

Late night eater...hurting my weight loss efforts?
I've read a few posts where folks recommend not eating at least 4 hours before bed. Truth? Is a calorie a calorie? If I'm staying true to calorie intake (not starving, not over doing it), does it matter?

BUMP
On other online forums, BUMP means "bring up my post." But here at mfp, I've seen it used where 1) there is no post pertaining to the referenced post or 2) the user has their page locked, ergo one cannot bring up any of their posts. Looking for the referenced post is utterly a waste of time. Tonight, I read three different…

Fat gram intake?
My aim has been to keep daily fat intake between 22-27 grams. Have done great until today when I added an ounce of walnuts as a snack. Ouch! Next time, I'll know better. What's your average goal regarding fat each day?

Losing energy from high protein shakes?
Anyone else feel sluggish after drinking a protein shake? I like the convenience and taste of HP shakes, but seem to lose energy after drinking them. Anyone else out there experiencing the same thing?

Beyond generic weight loss goals...
Hi MFP folks! I'm fairly new here (day 10) and have read some great posts. One theme I'm curious about is setting smaller goals within the greater constructs of the full weight loss plan. In other words, some folks will establish several short term goals (a 10 mile overnight hike on the weekend, for example) or monthly…

Supplements - what works and what doesn't?
Is anyone else using garcinia cambogia and/or green coffee bean extract? Your feedback? I started using both yesterday when I started my "new and improved" health plan and was wondering if the claims are accurate or if I'm wasting my money. Your feedback is appreciated - please be specific!:noway:
