Well, it's official... I've gained 5lbs.  I'm really upset & kinda depressed about this. I'm just barely fitting in my biggest pair of jeans. Gah! I don't even know if I'm doing this BMR thing right now. I have to admit that I haven't been very diligent about reporting the BLT's, as they were called in here a few days ago, and I'm sure all those little bits of candy and whatnot added up. But I'm looking at a food budget of 1517 and thinking, how am I going to lose weight eating that much? 
I'm using the BMR calculating formula here: http://www.theministryoffitness.com/mof/library/articles/article6.htm For a body weight of 130 and an activity level of "quiet sitting" (which does accurately describe the majority of my day), I came up with 1793. My height is 5'2" and I'm 30. If that sounds way off base to any of you, let me know.
By the way, anybody else have a spouse/significant-other who can eat junk and sit on their a** all the time and not gain weight? God, that's annoying. (And yes, I have wicked PMS, which isn't helping my mood any!)
