My weight is now 177. Probably means nothing beyond the day to day wiggle. I suspected my weight was going up too quickly for the amount of calories I was consuming. So my weight being a pound less today should not surprise me. I want to maintain my weight around 180 at the very most. I think my weight at 174 was just a bit too low for me. I had purchased a new wardrobe in celebration of my very low weight. However, I now cannot gain much weight in order to continue to fit into my new clothes. My current BMI is just fine with me anyways, being somewhere in the middle. So my new clothes are giving me incentive to not gain much more weight. This may turn out to be a good thing.

Still, as I exersize, my muscle mass will increase. Muscle weighs more than fat. So I will eventually gain weight, but for a good reason. Fortunately I will be able to go back to EBay to purchase good quality dress clothes at a fraction of their original price. Clothes like jeans, pullovers, including tea shirts, should not be that expensive to replace. I only need about a couple pairs of pants and their associated shirts anyways.
