Well ... actually, that's not counting all the damn weight you can gain
in 19 years by quitting smoking.

I put on 10 or 15 pretty quick, but that's all that usually happens.
Some of that was muscle, too, as I got healther and was up and out

build, that's just old age catching up with your declining activity.
I'm 30+ pounds now above my high school weight, 39 years later, but I
was a swimmer in high school. (2nd place, JV letter, breast stroke.)
