You are doing a good job just being aware of what is going on before you get too far away from your goal. As long as you keep that up you are sure to do well. I don't know if you are trying to get below that 145 line though. I just bought a new Omron digital scale from Amazon for $37 because mine seems always to be off and this new one gives a readout including fractions of a pound which I like. It seems to be one of the most popular scales on Amazon (model: Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale) but it does not seem to allow calibration which someone had recommended to me (I decided to forget about this since the reviews seemed so positive and the price was so reasonable). Good Luck blueyedmerle!
