How much weight have you gained or lost this year?
My doctor said I gained 12 lbs. Not something I wanted to hear. 馃惙

I have no idea. I do know that I'm significantly heavier than 3 years ago when I smoked and drank. Now I look good through the upper body, chest, shoulders and arms. My goal is to get rid of about ten lbs around the stomach. That'll be easy to drop because I'll be sparring much more starting in January. I could drop 8-10 lbs in a day if I had to, but it's simply not healthy to do it that way. Over the next three months it'll just be core, cardio and sparring. That should get rid of the extra 10 around the gut.

I gained in the stomach and noticed so many people 40 and above that have. Stopped eating wheat (and now other grains) and substituted potatoes for the starch, they are resistant starches. Wheat is an inflammatory grain because it's been hybridized in the past few decades...it didn't bother most people to eat bread and other wheat products when I was young but it does now. It messes with insulin and causes insulin resistance. I stopped craving sweets 48 hours after starting a Resistant Starch experiment and stopped eating anything wheat...Dr. William Davis explains what wheat is doing to our health in his books.

@cherokeepatti: mine comes from liking food now. I never liked it previously, but now I'm working out more with a trainer on a weekly basis.
I'll check into the wheat info though. Thank you. It sounds like good advise. 馃憤馃徎

@Adogslife: I've lost 23 pounds since November 1st and a good deal of it was from my belly....this is the only thing that got my appetite back to healthy where I haven't craved sweets at all now...I am craving a hamburger (the only thing I've craved and haven't eaten) but don't want to risk eating a wheat bun and until I find a good recipe to make a low-carb grain-free bread I won't eat one.
