Dear a bit Chubby, welcome from New Hampshire, enjoyed the pictures.
As for you weight, for many its a constant struggle, up and down and it seems mostly up. In addition to the usual reasons for packing on the pounds such as bordem, eating crappy food on the run and not enough exercise....I am a lover of good food.....really enjoy it.
I have yet to decide if "The Food Channel" is a blessing or a curse.
Again ..welcome, you have friends here.
