In 2009 I've managed to go from a bit over 185 down to around 165.  Took more
than a month, though (in 1988 I weighed around 225 and was still over 200 as
recently as 2006).  165 is very close to the ideal weight for my height - 225
is pudgy, I have a picture .  I haven't been under 170 since 1969 (when
I gained 35 pounds on a 30 day leave home from Okinawa; I only ate once a
day - all day  - my folks were sure glad to see me go back).

My 36" waist pants will fall down without a belt.  Intended to get some 34"
but I think now I'll go for 32" - my waist hasn't been this small since 1969.
