Thanks, folks, for your input. I haven't been able to keep up with the
thread today (or even see if there's been any more responses), but
I've certainly taken into consideration the posts I have read.

My weight is back up a pound since yesterday (normal fluctuation,
obviously), and I'm actually rather pleased to be this side of 106.
Because of a number of factors, I'd set my most recent goal at 106,
and I've reached it. I feel good at this weight and would like to stay
approximately at it. I don't need to lose more. So I agree with folks
there.

I also agree that the way past the tummy bulge is through exercise (or
acceptance!), not further weight loss. For me, for now, taking on yoga
is a big step, and it's a step in the right direction. I'd like to
stick with that (plus continue with the crunches and the few other
exercises I've taken on) and adjust to that rather than add something
further (such as weighlifting) at the moment. I've already
strenghtened muscles, improved my balance, and shrunk my waistline a
bit, so I can see progress. If that doesn't do enough, I'll have to
consider this issue further -- but not right now.

Baby steps are always a good way to approach changes. :-) What you
are doing is taking baby steps towards exercise.

Good luck!
