4 kg. Went from 75 to 79. Also lost muscle tone so probably gained more than 4 kg of fat. I'll probably try and get to 85 this year, then will probably get back into the gym and pare back my stuffing habits as I do quite miss my toned physique.

^^It's very important to remain active even when getting fat. I never want to be the guy who struggles with breathlessness after walking up a flight of stairs. I walk up a 175 step flight of stairs at the tube station every day. Never an issue. The day that starts to become tiring, I'll know I need to stop my gaining.

Jez, being from Aus, I obviously don't have a local premier league team to follow, and when I first got into the league in the late 1990s, Man Utd were the team that was on TV the most and was having success so I chose to support them. Since then I've always supported them, watched as many games as I could/can, been to Old Trafford etc, etc. Am I not a true fan because I'm not from Manchester?

If you mean what gotenksssj22002 said, than it still depends. There are many completely valid reasons why someone could support a team that isn't their local team. What I hate is when that support is fleeting, or revolves purely around success.

Manchester United!!!

I was never ''completely ripped'' but used to work out regularly with weights and was certainly toned until the start of this year. If you saw me walking down the street today you wouldn't call me me fat, but probably slightly chubby, which is a big change from a year ago when I used to have lots of slim fit shirts that I can no longer wear. Reasons for getting bigger - the usual that are stated on here. It's just an urge that kept getting stronger and I had to act on it.

My problem is that I am completely oblivious to flirting and signals. I've spoken to girls and afterwards my friends have been like "she was sooooo into you" and I'm like "really?".

Lots of female friends and no trouble with talking to women or confidence, I just need to learn how to flirt.

They're all in London getting the Heathrow injection of weight. You need to come over here and find one of those newly fattenning up Aussie girls. Lots of Kiwis too lol.
