That settles it...

I've already restarted workouts and skating over the past two weeks... I need to start skipping meals again. Must lose the 6-7 lbs I've regained since mid-July... When those close to me begin agreeing with me that I'm out of shape and not particularly physically attractive, that's time to fully mobilize. No breakfast for me ;).

The actuarial weight tables are flawed, BTW. They look at weight in isolation, and don't take into account a lot of other factors, including such obvious ones as muscle mass and bone density. Much better to assess your health on the basis of how you feel and function, than on your weight alone. As one women's mag I read put it, "don't weigh your self-esteem."

Given that, I'd be happy in the 170s, which I was close to last summer. Otherwise, my clothing size hasn't changed in 15 years... in part because men's clothing has fewer gradations, I think.
