I wonder why my weight has settled at 105.4. It feels like a weird # to me.
I'm exercising more and my weight is stable. DH is continuing to lose . However, he is riding longer commutes to work and has been doing significant mulching. I also think he is eating less carbs.

Why does that seem an odd weight Crankin? Just curious...tell DH that carbs aren't bad, our body does need them...though I am sure you've already had that talk.

As long as your DH is weighing on the same scale, it must just be a very stable setpoint for you (and a fine one at that!)

A friend down here told us a story about one year when she and her DH brought their digital scale down in their suitcase -- they spend 6 months here and 6 months at their home in the US every year. She weighed herself often down here and was surprised to see the scale unchanging week after week. That would be a huge red flag for me, especially since she knew she was eating a lot more fattening food.

When she got back to the US and weighed on a different scale, she realized she'd gained 13 lbs. The scale they brought down had apparently broken and gotten "stuck" at her last weight!

But doesn't sound like that is the case with you. I just wish my scale weighed in single tenths of lbs. rather than 1/2 lbs, so it would be a little easier to track my weight fluctuations without them looking quite so significant.

Forgot to post my weight yesterday, it was 104.8 .

For the past month I have been doing an experiment with running a weighted average. I weigh myself everyday first thing in the morning. It is surprising how much my weight can vary from day to day. Weigh-in day, Friday, it was 104.8. Today, Saturday, it was 102.6. My weighted average is running at 104.2 right now. On a slight loss trajectory of a quarter pound a week which is basically flat. Which is fine with me.
