RANT...no I am not Anorexic
OMG!! Apparently eating healthy and being active means I am now anorexic. So frustrating to hear this at least once a week from the same dang co-worker!

Baby Belly
I am interested in how/what people have done to "get rid" of your baby belly. I don't expect to ever have a "six pack" but a flatter, firmer tummy and smaller "love handles" would by far be appreciated.

Brown Rice Conversion
My husband made a huge pan of premium Nishiki Brown Rice , it say 1/4 dry equals 140 cal, so...what exactly does 1/4 dry equal to cooked??? I would try to cook it except he made the rest of the bag and I can only get it 1/2 hour away from where I am located and I don't want to go there just for rice.
