<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">I haven't lost any weight lost week, so says the scale at my Weight Watchers meeting!&nbsp; I wondered if that was correct, because my scale at home says I lost another 3lbs!&nbsp; Then again, my scale is a regular analog one and theirs is a digital! Maybe I should get me a digital scale and get with the Century!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The good thing is I didn't gain any and that's better news for me!&nbsp; I'm still busy, cycling, doing exercise dvd and walking! So I'm keeping active and that's always good for my body!</span></p>

Lots of houses for sale, whether by choice or not.&nbsp; Some sitting for months without a buyer.&nbsp;&nbsp; People being laid off. Budgets being slashed, the prices are up in the super market.&nbsp; My grocery bill is higher than it's ever been so I have to be even more frugal. I try to use coupons sometimes, but that works some of the times, because these manufacturers don't really give coupons on rice or meats or milk or the foods that are really important!&nbsp; Why is that I wonder?!</span></p>
