Last year I gave in and went from 36" waist to 38".
Did a game last weekend and even the 38"s were a little tight.
I'm blaming that on Christmas and New Year's feasting.

Unfortunately, since I quit smoking last year, I've gone from 205 lbs to 240 lbs. Fortunately, my pants had enough "breathing room" to still fit comfortably.

I've been able to keep from smoking (not a single cigarette since Jan 1 of last year), and my wife and I bought a home gym so that I can shed off those 35 lbs. If not, hey... Nothing wrong with gettin' strong.
