I still weigh 178. I had 2500 calories today. I would like more days above 2300 to see if I gain any weight. However, I am paranoid of gaining too much weight. I do not ever want to be 235 again. I think even 195 be too much weight. Maybe 185 at most. Why am I paranoid about at this weight? I do not know. I can afford to gain a couple pounds.

According to a calorie calculator, I need to eat 2500 calories a day to gain one pound a week. I do not know if I can do this while eating healthy food. I can end up cheating by eating dessert which is easy for me to do. Also I still have to remain in my budget for groceries. I looked at my calorie intake over the the month of December and I averaged 2300 with some excursions up to 2500. I was still able to maintain my weight but not gain any. Maybe I should open up my recipie books and look for recepies that are easy to make, contain a fair amount of calories, and stay in my budget. I will begin looking tomorrow.

PS I would like to start exersizing for my health. I have this free membership to LA Fitness that I have not been using at least for the past couple years.
