"183 today"!   

Yikes, I gotta get my act together!  I've been bouncing between 177-183 (mostly 183) for the past year.  I really want to be 172-175.  (Or 300, if I'd have the physique of our bud Serafin.)  Great work GIO!  And that's a very thoughtful and good comment about avoiding the social snack party.  I'd just offer that you could go to them with the following perspective in mind:  Ice water with a lemon wedge.  I'm serious.  I can drink that stuff all day!

NoChops Ron... what's your situation, our friend?
