I think you're 160. Dripping wet. Holding a 10-pound weight.

Ha ha. No way. I am really usually somewhere between 160 and 165. When I ****ed up my leg I was pushing 170, maybe even 175. You are going to call me a liar for about the fiftieth time this week, but it's true.
 
Well, if it matters much, I'm checking in at a chunky (for me) 195 right now. But I've lost body fat. :D

All the weight gain, I was 185 a couple of years ago, is in my legs and abs.

5-11, 185
DING!

And, for the record, I'm 6-4, 195

OK. I was about to give you **** for the 195, but 6-4 makes it legit. I am only 5-10. But according to IJAG and Jones, my wingspan is 12-4, if you include my fully-extended fingers.
 
Well, I was 165 when I got married 15 years ago (wow, I'm getting old) and my job during college was at a treadmill manufacturing company. I worked in quality control and my job, quite literally, was to pull finished treadmills (or stair climbers, or stationary bikes) off the line and test them for 20-30 minutes. Do that for eigh hours a night and I defy you to gain weight.

Of course, we were too poor at the time to eat much. So combine a bare pantry with a lot of running and I looked Ethiopian at times.

I hear ya, Idaho. For 2 1/2 years, including the year after I graduated from the alma mater, part of my job involved parking cars. For the year after I got out of school - and couldn't find a professional job of any significance - I'd usually work 60-70 hours a week (I've been told I walk pretty fast, so giving me OT was probably better than training 3-4 people a week who'd quit because they didn't want to do anything).

I had a friend who was worried I was wasting away. No chance, but I got her point. And yours, Idaho.
 
So, JW, I guess the moral is that if you want to loose the lbs, quit your job, go back to college and get a new job running on treadmills while you also cover the women's golf team for the college paper.

You'll be down to 240 in a hurry.
