I better throw my hat in. I hit 165 lb. this weekend, a record for me.

Now, I know many (most? all?) of you are rolling on the floor laughing at this--I know it's a weight many people my height (5'8") would kill to see.

But you've got to understand, I've always been very scrawny. And it wasn't that many years ago that I was 125. So proportionally, 165 represents a massive increase. So I want to nip this in the bud. I'll be content to be around 155; I don't want to go back to 125, I just don't want to continue gaining.

First steps: 1. no more donuts for breakfast. (ARRRGH!!! I have to find SOMETHING to eat for breakfast in the morning that's fast, but that's not total shit from a nutrition standpoint.) 2. No eating after 9:30PM. I don't eat horribly at meals, but I have a nasty habit of making a midnight (or later) snack. Example: I'm writing this at 12:37AM my time. I could easily go for a bag of microwave popcorn right now. 3. Cut back on the soda. Maybe 1 can/day as a realistic initial limit? I have given up soda for Lent, and I've given up booze. There's no contest; the soda was MUCH harder.
