Who we are and why we are here:

'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.

What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.

We are intentionally avoiding fad diets, expensive meal plans, and other extreme (expensive!) weight loss plans.

A quick recipe

Chicken enchiladas (store leftovers in fridge for a quick lunch tomorrow!)

2 cups greek yogurt
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 lb grilled chicken breast, chopped
2 cups broccoli, chopped
2 sm cans chopped green chilies
1/2 cup low calorie cheese*
8 tortilla wraps**

Stir yogurt and soup together. Mix in broccoli, chilies, and chicken. Divide into 8 wraps and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown. About 215 calories per enchilada. Top with salsa for more flavor.

*Shreiber shredded cheese from Costco is 80 calories per 1/4 cup. Recalculate if using a higher calorie cheese or reduce the amount used.
**La Tortilla Factory wraps available at Costco are low carb, high fiber, and only 80 calories each. If you buy wraps with more calories, add the difference to each serving.
