I am 90.4% the man I was Jan 1
Most people would look at me at almost any point in time in my life and say, "wow that dude is SKINNY", even when I was up to 167 lbs on Jan 1 of this year. From age 21 to 32 my weight fluctuated from 120 to 151, with probably 90% of that time between 131-137 ( I am 5'8"). Getting to 151 took a HUGE effort on my part, and I was below 140 again within probably 2 months. I remember being 21 years old and fitting into my brother's 26/32 pants, ( he is still only about 125 to this day, up from ~112 most of his adult life; He's 38), and yet just after the holidays, most of my pants were tight on me at 32/32. I told myself I am NOT going up to 33/32, it's just not happening.
Funny thing about that though. Since Jan 1, I haven't worked out once, (too hard with kids, heavier workload, and crappy single-digit weather of late.) I haven't been officially dieting, but I've been watching what I eat a tiny bit,(more portions than the actual type of food; I LOVE Fuddrucker's and Quizno's Prime Rib peppercorn Sandwich) and drinking ONLY Coke Zero or Diet Coke when I drink a soda, and lo and behold, the other day, I step on the scale and weigh 151, hardly even trying. So here's the Daliman Diet: 1. Have good genes ( there is not a single person ANYWHERE in my family that would be considered more than 30 pounds overweight, and that includes my grandmothers 16 kids, grandkids, etc.) 2. Drink Diet sodas. I HIGHLY recommend Coke Zero. WAY better than any of the other diet colas IMHO. 3. Read when you eat. You will eat slower and fill up at a quicker rate. 4. Feed your kids while you eat. If you can still get in more than half what you made for yourself while corralling a 3 and 1 y/o like I do, you are are truly prodigious eater. EDIT: For those that think 167 isn't very heavy, I have VERY skinny arms and legs, so alot was in the belly area.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, of course the 30 part is leg length, but I'd say 31 would be proper pant leg length for me. I used to wear 30/30's for the longest time, but it seems like as I gained weight the pants sit higher or something, I dunno. Seems same amount under navel tho. I remember when I got over 120 being THRILLED that I could start finding pants, as I was up to 28/30. My brother wear 28/34's, if he can ever find them. I have no idea why 34's, we are same height. Mebbe cuz he used to be a stoner and likes then bunched up at his ankles or something.
