I ordered mine through Amazon.com, called Medi-Chest, and paid $6.49 a piece, but the 4 bucks a piece sounds greant. Too bad I didn't find them. I had save the website that Tom posted a couple of months back. So nevertheless, they are ordered.

Stop them if you can ... they are NOT the ones I recommended. They are the smaller ones by the same company.

Links up above of the ones I always post about.

Oh gosh Tom, you are kidding. I knew I should have verified before I ordered. I know I saved the sight from one of your posts. Thanx for the info.

Okay, I called Amazon and they told me it is a third party, company name HBA Zone, but they are closed already on the east coast I presume. So I checked out the l ink you put here and those are like $7.99 a piece. Is that the correct price now or is there somewhere I can get it cheaper? Thanx for your help.

I never liked Spark People -- too much stuff I never used. I purchased the FitDay PC software and created customs for all the stuff I ate. I tend to eat the same things so it worked out OK.

I like it and it works for my needs. I will need to find something new though since I'm switching to a mac and they don't have a mac version.

The pill boxes are good. I just did a refill on mine last night. They won't hold calcium though - not with anything else in the container but that's OK. I just keep a bottle at work and a bottle at home.

Tali, are those the same pill organizers that I said I ordered?. I had thought they would be big enough even with the 2 calciums 3 times a day. My old pill organizer does hold all of them and the calcium too.

I believe those are the ones I bought. I follow Vita-Lady's vitamin schedule with all the individual pills so each pill taking "session" is 4-6 pills and they all fit (minus the calcium) into the container.

Calcium is just so large that it needs its own holder.

I pop out the individual sections of the organizer and it fits in my pocket or purse. It's not too huge.

I can then prepare a months worth at once and know when I'm supposed to take them. It also helps because if I run out I know when I need more pills.

I've signed up for SparkPeople, Fitday and www.nutritiondata.com/ - I have only cursorily played around with each. Spark is "prettier" and has some nice options, like message board, groups, etc. I am addicted to OH though, so don't know that I would use those. Fitday is pretty basic, which has it's pluses and minuses. ND is OK, has a few more items I have searched for, but seems to have very similar results to the searches as fitday.

Will play more this weekend and choose one to stick with.
