Too much sodium over the weekend (was up an additional 3 lbs on Monday) but it is slowly working it's way off. At least my trend is creeping in a downward direction.

This is another excellent idea - I'm in.

I weigh in twice weekly (Sundays & Wednesdays, plus the first day of each month), so that I have two weekly sequences (I find it interesting and maybe useful to compare the two), as well as a monthly one, but my 'official' weigh in day is Sunday.

Exactly 12 weeks until December 31st. I'm going to be taking part in a 10K Thanksgiving run, so I'm hoping to lose weight while getting back into training.
