Age is a killer, kiddo. You have more growing to do.

A lot is down to personal discipline too. In my mid 20's I was a 32 inch waist, I went up to about 38, but have been on a diet and have got back down to a 32-33 (I'll be 42 in a week).

The real killers are beer, confectionery and fizzy drinks (Cola) combined with a sedintary lifestyle it doesn't take much to add the pounds on.

Also its not necessarily what you eat but when you eat it in the day. I'll east pasta, Rice and potatoes at lunch but will avoid in the evening as my system can't digest it before sleep. I'm not really missing out the things I like but just thinking about when i have them. I don't tend to drink in the house either, i'm a big beer drinker but rarely have any at home it gives the system a rest.

Your build will effect things too I'm 1.88m and was just under 94 kg, I got down to 79 but wave crept back up to about 83. I'm not going to let that work go to waste so i'm going to get back down to about 80.

Its a hell of a lot harder to get it off than keep it off though!!

Well, Mikey, I'd say that's a perfectly reasonable birth weight!

Be well,

Nick,
I was a 26 waist at16 years old and 115 lbs at 6"1" tall back then. My girth expanded to 27.5 and my weight to 130 Lbs in university. I stayed there until my 52nd birthday, then expanded to 36/37 waist and 190 Lbs. Now my goal is to get back down to between a 30 and 32. I hate the weight.
Pay attention to it while you are young and it easy to keep off, rather than a lot harder to take off at a later time.

hehe, it was working pretty darn good for me as a single guy...motocross...rock climbing (medals at the 1995 Panamerican Games)...DH MTB, etc.

I got married on August 1999 and I weighed 175 pounds.....by July of 2000 I was weighing 225.
