Anyone taking the (Ohio) Bar Exam in February?
I am a repeat taker. With being a full time working mom, I'm not sure that 5 months is enough to study, but I'm going to try. I don't plan on telling anyone except one friend, hubby and the kids (who will obviously see my studying). I sure could use a few MFP friends that may be preparing for the exam too. Trying to eat…

LIES! Odometers on treadmill vs. elliptical vs. bike

Mysteriously losing 1/2 pound a day - how is that possible?
Just gotta pose this question. I am a 5'5" female in the 170 pound range and eating my 1200 calories a day. When I am good and stick to those 1200 calories, I notice I am losing a 1/2 pound a day. I'm not sure how it's possible to burn through the 1,750 calories in a 1/2 pound in addition to my 1,200 daily calories. I have…
