tips on eating when busy
Hello group! I was hoping to find some good tips on what I could pack for my busy days of work followed by grad class.

Hello all! My husband and I are looking into getting the tread climber and I was wondering if anyone had any experiences to share about it either way.

powered peanut butter- savior!
I noticed a posting earlier in the week about peanut butter and celery and it seemed the common thread was that we LOVE peanut butter. I was given a jar of PB2 which is from bell plantations and it is 45 calories per 2 tbls. You mix it with water and it doesn't have all the oils and junk in it...just had to share because…

I have started a walking program through my school where we all got pedometers (sp?) and are counting our steps. I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to calculate # of steps into calories burned or time so that it can be added to my excercise. I have no problem when I do my stroller walking with my son but would like…
