Sweet Home, Oregon (Yes, there really is one is Oregon and not just Alabama!)

Thanks for your help guys! So far, the battery doesn't seem to be the issue but I will keep an eye one it. Planes flying over *definitely* isn't the problem! I live in rural Oregon - the only thing close to that would be CB traffic from all the log trucks going by on the highway! :laugh: I will just keep using it and see…

I recently bought a F4 and it works well for the most part. I am having one issue with it that I was hoping one of you can help me with. When I'm working out, it gets up to my target HR and then, for no reason that I can determine, it will suddenly drop my HR down to something like 77 for a minute or two and then back up…

Height: 6"0" weight: 213 - aiming for 170 frame: large workout: I try for at least 4 times a week. Mostly doing treadmill at this point. I throw in Wii Fit stuff almost every day with some resistance bands every once in a while too. Calories: 1220 + exercise calories I've only lost 7 pounds so far but I've also lost a…

I had the exact experience a few weeks ago!! I was thinking the same thing...this has to be better than the hot dog! WRONG!!! Next time, I'll just get the hot dog! Yikes!

I too, was starting to get a little discouraged. I got on the scale this morning and it went down 1 pound. I was actually kind of excited about that since it hasn't really moved in a couple of weeks. But today was the day for me to update my measurements. I got out the 'ol tape measure and saw that I had worked off some of…

No military here but I just wanted to say... "God bless each and every one of you for your service!!" That includes all the families that are left at "home". You make a lot of sacrifices too! THANK YOU!!!

Thanks so much, FC!! I really didn't want to have to resort to cooking mine separately! My family (and sadly, me) loves pasta so I'm trying to get them used to the whole wheat stuff. Personally, I like it but my 11-yr old wasn't that impressed. He'll get used to it! :laugh: Thanks again! I can always count on the MFP bunch…

Last night I made some whole wheat fettucine for dinner. The serving size said "2 oz. dry". Does anyone have an idea of what that comes out to be volume-wise once it's cooked? I don't have a good idea of what that would be and since I never make just 2 oz. (I have a family to cook for!), it's hard to know just how much I…

Hello! I'm also a 39-year old homeschool mom! Welcome! I know exactly what you mean about keeping busy with the kids! A lot of people think that since I'm home with my kids all day, I have tons to spare time. If they only knew! :laugh: Good luck on your weight loss journey! Shannon

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Whoo-hoo!! I'm looking forward to that day myself!!

165-170 (I'm 6' tall)

Hang in there! I know exactly how you feel. I lost my dad to cancer in August and his 64th birthday is coming in April. I'm really not looking forward to facing it. Christmas was a tough one too. My thoughts are with you and your son as you continue to face this sorrow. Remember the good times...

Thanks to all of you for your input!! #3 was actually my first inclination but I just wasn't sure. I'm looking forward to a nice night out! Just gotta be careful! Keep that water comin'! :wink:

Hey everyone! I'm new to this site and I haven't really posted yet but I have a question for all of you. My husband and I are going to his company dinner Thursday night and I need to pick which item I want for dinner....before tomorrow morning!! So I need your help quickly! Here are the options exactly as I see them on the…
