I have recently become quite intrigued with the body bugg system. Of course I see it on Biggest Loser each week, I hear about people here using it, and I've read some review online. I love the idea of knowing better how much I am burning each day. I always fear that I think I am working harder than I really am. It would be interesting to see the cold hard facts.

I had such a good experience the first time I used Tofu for Meatless Monday, I decided to try it again! I found this recipe in the Weight Watchers Fall 2009 20 minute Recipes magazine. I have modified it slightly so only be 2 servings (instead of 4), I served with rice instead of pasta and I only used broccoli instead of a stir-fry vegetable mix.
