True, I should have mentioned the measurements! Men tend to gain around their middle, so it can be a big problem. My father is one of those men that is average everywhere else, but all the weight goes on his stomach.

At least you'e aware of it, even for appearances sake, but for health it is vital (the heart). I'm not into the gym bunny side of things as such, but "try" when I can to walk and eat healthy. It can be a trial when you feel like trash most of the time.

You've had a big jump from 44" to 36", that is dramatic!
