      10/1 195.2 Scales are up 3 pounds in 2 days. Not a good way to start the month.
      10/8 191.2 -4 Father-in-law passed away, so not much will get done MFP wise this week.
      10/18 193.4 Stress continues.
      10/27 190.8 after my run.
      10/31

      Total weight lost: 4.4

      Just for fun: Given that this is October with the fun event called Halloween, what is the spookiest, eeriest, most frightening or just plain bizzare thing that has happened to you since you started to lose weight?

      Going through photos at my in laws house saw a picture of myself several years ago at what was probably my highest weight. THAT was scary!!! Won't go back there again (to the weight not the in-laws house).

      REMEMBER that when we get to 500 posts, it automatically resets to a new post - just follow the link on that last post.

      So I didn't make the 5lb mark. I had a MAJOR slip-up last week at the bowling alley (curse those delicious wings!!). But I think I did well for myself! Almost 4lbs is pretty good!
