Hey there, If you're like me, you've tried EVERYTHING to lose weight.  I know how you feel - the special diets, miracle pills, and fancy exercise equipment never helped me lose the pounds I need lose either.  It seemed like the harder I worked at it, the less weight I lost - until I heard about 'Extreme Power Plus'.

OK, thanks to Kelly I got my options_for_select in a select_tag helper method to use a Ruby range as a value. Now when the user makes a selection from that list, I can''t figure out why the result doesn''t get stored in the database.

I work in the UK and therefore most of my currency figures will be in UK pounds. I realise that to format a number to a currency format I can use: number_to_currency(amt, :unit => "?") but it would be more convenient to set ? as the default currency symbol.
