Special K Challenge
Has anyone ever done it? I'm getting bored with my breakfasts and I'm not a fan of sandwiches for lunch, so I'd like to try it.

Calorie question
I'm on a 1200 calorie/day plan, and that works perfect for me. My question is, when my calories are set at 1200, but then I burn say 200 a day, that takes my allotted calories upto 1400/day. Do I have to eat all of these calories? Or should I just always aim for my 1200? I'm perfectly content on the 1200 a day, but I just…

The door to her one room bachelor apartment was unlocked. Crammed inside was everything she needed to be a successful young adult. A small kitchen, a desk, a computer, TV, DVD player and a bed.

I don't know if I should be…

I had NO idea playing an instrument was considered exercise. I haven't been counting these in my daily exercise count. I'm under "lighty active" so should I even worry…
