First, I want to thank everyone for their comments, help and ideas for the recent pleas I've given. I received many great ideas for chicken (yes, including Mexican dishes! lol) and I'm anxious to give them all a try.

Now here's yet another plea. We just came up in the world. For years we had a great cell phone plan until the company got bought out. They charged us roaming fees and to make a long story short, when our contract expired, we expired our relationship with the company. We started using Trac Fones. Well, that hasn't been going well lately. I couldn't call my son when I was in the store: no service. That happened a few times. So we hit Radio Shack yesterday and looked at cell phone packages. While there, I tried to call hubby on my cell...no service.

We ended up signing our lives away, but we got really cool phones and a really cool package. I'm just hoping we can ditch our land line to help pay for this--that depends on the cable company.

At any rate, I'm now the proud owner of a Sprint Moment phone. We stayed up very late playing around with our phones. I know *nothing* about apps--but the first thing I looked for was a Calorie King app. Doesn't exist for the Moment. (I could cry, I love Calorie King.)

So my plea is this:

Are there any cool apps for a Moment (I think apps for androids will work?--I have no idea what I'm talking about though) for calorie counting and fitness, health stuff?

FitBit

Move over BodyBugg and GoWearFit, there's a new product coming out. It's called FitBit. $99 for the bit, the software and base station. I haven't been able to figure out if you have to pay a monthly fee or not.

The good: This thing is small. You can wear it on your waist, in your pocket or your undies. It also has a wristband. When you walk by the base station, your data is automatically uploaded.

The bad: I don't know if this is bad. People have pre-ordered this thing a long time ago, and it's slow getting out. They're working on some bugs, but it is set to ship out for the pre-orders October 31st.

This looks like a fantastic alternative to the BodyBugg. I am just hoping you don't have to pay a monthly subscription fee.

Just thought I'd share the info.

Good thing hubby came home for lunch, as I sat down with him and my computer and just stumbled upon this!

This is something I am very interested in. I may wait a bit and let others be the test guinea pigs, but it is on my wish list!

Now, back to the couch.
