Well, I don't see anybody here talking about getting in
shape for the season (which is still 8 months away), and
I'm the only one saying I need to drop a few, which is not
to say that I'm "out of shape". I won't bore you with my
excersize routine but believe me it's pretty intense &
comprehensive - in fact I usually gain a few in December
because I'm too busy working basketball to do my normal workout, then I level out & finally drop a few by the end of
February. But I said I wouldn't bore you so I won't.

Believe me, I was not trying to disparage you in any way, I was making a comment about the number of people that stop exercising once the season is over and put on the pounds. Everyone's weight will fluctuate some--I am advocating the need to stay in shape all the time. People who do this know that they will feel better and have more energy than those who don't. Maybe I don't deliver the message very well, but I am a supporter of anyone who wants to or is into regular exercise--especially if they are my partner on the court.
