a message of hope and possibility for the obese

37. Yes, I'd say we're sorta kindred spirits

I too had a "max weight."

In university, I worked out like a madman. Lifted some pretty heavy weights and I almost tipped the scale at 200 pounds, most of the gains were muscle mass. Made another concerted effort to bulk up again in my 30s, but never exceeded 185 pounds. In between and most of the time since, I've hovered around 165 to 170 pounds.

But the past year or two has brought a lot more "softness," from being too sedentary and having a sweet tooth. It's resulted in the gradual creeping up to 180 lbs range.

Like you, I usually eat for the last time between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. and it's often a bowl of cereal (sometimes a wheat or oat-based cereal with good fibre content, but sometimes I'll mix in something like Nesquik).

Other than that, I'm married, a dog owner (no kids), born in January, do a lot of writing in my profession. Did I hit upon any other commonalities? We both hate Trump, I'm sure.
