Problem with New Balance N4 Heart Rate Monitor
I purchased the New Balance heart rate monitor with the chest strap from Target about 3 months ago. It had been working fine until the past week or so. I put it on one night and while I was driving over to the track it said my heart rate was 238! Wow, I would think I would be near dead if it was that high. I was able to…

NSV - I can run
I know it sounds really weird, but I could never run. I just could never feel comfortable, easy at it. I would watch people jogging and they looked so graceful like it was easy. For me, it felt so unnatural, it was actually a lot of work. But I would at least try every once in awhile when I would walk. So I haven't been…

NSV the women can understand
So I wore a skirt to work today, the first time in like 2 years that I have worn a skirt all day. Plus I don't have stockings on underneath and I just noticed as I was walking to the bathroom, the tops of my thighs aren't wacking and rubbing on each other! Amazing!!!

NSV for women
So I went to Victoria's Secret yesterday cause I just had to get a new bra and I wanted to treat myself to a nice one. So I told the young, fit, beautiful store attendent that i needed to be fitted because I had lost weight and the tops of my bra's were totally empty. So she fitted me and much to my surprise my cup size…

Clothing Tailor
Okay, so now that the weight is starting to come off, all my good work pants are starting to hang on me. What's really sad is some of them are pretty new and are my favorites!!! So my question is, has anybody tried taking their clothes to a tailor for them to "take in" to a smaller size? If so, how successful was it? Just…

Problem with Wii
Thought I might ask here as I didn't find anything online. We had turned off our power for a moment in the basement where I have my Wii. Now I can't get it to go back on. And yes, all the power is turned back on, but the Wii won't come on. Is there a reset button anywhere on it? I couldn't find one.

Does this happen to anyone else?
I don't know why this happens....I get up in the morning, use the bathroom, weigh myself and I am x amount of weight. If I wait another hour or so, don't eat anything, don't drink anything, don't use the bathroom again and weigh myself, I am like a pound lighter! How could I loose a pound in an hour doing absolutely…
