Treadmill training and other newbie questions.
Hi everyone! Newbie here and have a few questions if you don't mind. I've read through most of the Sticky topics and have a question about using the treadmill.

Crunchy Snacks
So.... I need crunchy snacks. I miss the crunch more than almost everything else that I am not eating. I currently have pickles and radishes on my list. Can't do nuts or seeds as I tend to overeat on them and that's just not good for me. Need to cut them back out. The fried cheese is the same thing. I end up eating 6 oz of…

Restaurant Ideas - Alabama
We are heading down through Mobile, Alabama for Spring Break in a few weeks. I'm wondering if anyone down there has a good idea for some restaurants to try. We did Lamberts a few times, but not a lot of other places. We will be driving down either 45 or 65 so any places along the way may be interesting as well.
