dancelot,
Yeah, those Snickers really forced themselves down my throat! I'm with you on the scale thing. I even bought a new one not too long ago. The instrument seems to vary, though probably my real weight also does, reportedly due to salt intake and many other variables.

The magic number is 137 this morning, another pound down. I have expended a lot of calories this past week raking leaves, but they are all pretty much collected now. My bike riding days are also numbered.

I'm also 137 this morning! Hooray! Looks like we're making some progress - and it's nice to see it show up for Monday weigh in.

Have a great week!

Yay us! It is fun that we are playing around with the same numbers. Do you have a goal? Mine is 130.

And congrats on your 90 days AF - well done!

Well done on 137!

Thanks, Sunbeam! I'm kinda proud of myself!

I honestly hadn't thought of a goal, but 130 sounds pretty good right now - the last time I felt "skinny" I was at 128, and that was 5 years ago. I haven't been too near 130 in recent times. But I think it's a do-able and realistic goal. So, yeah, let's go for it - I'm actually 1 lb closer to that than I am to my original starting weight!

Hi, again, Betty! As long as you're keeping up your exercise, you're still ahead of where you started (as I've reminded myself on many a Monday morning weigh-in!). Long term lifestyle changes, right girls?

Have a great week, you two!

OK, 137.5, up 1/2# from last week. This is not a surprise. I log my weights at Calorie Counter, and I could see that my low weights were getting further away from the trend line, which represnts my true weight. My weight will be lower next week. The following week is Thanksgiving... 'nuff said.

Well, I'm 146 - but I have a nasty stomach flu to thank

Am back to my 5k training and doing well.

Mr Sweats promised to come to dance lessons with me (salsa, meringue etc.) If I got down to 140, he's looking a bit worried.....

I'm also 137.5 this morning. Looks like we're still in sync, Sunbeam!

Betty, salsa and meringue lessons sound like too much fun! Hold the hubby to his promise, OK?

Have a great week, you two!

Today I'm back at 137#. I'm still satisfied. I put on a pair of lower-waist pants this week, and boy were they sagging. The others are also looser than before, but it is more evident in this style. My extra pounds all have been on my belly.
