40 years ago when I was boxing- I was 5'6" and weighed in at 126lbs- well 128 just before the events but lost the two lbs by sweating it out and starving. As soon as I stopped boxing I went to133lbs. One thing was common there though. In training I had a 6 pack and it was solid. At 133lbs that 6 pack had turned to flab and fat and I have never lost it since.

Gradually my weight has gone up and there is no way that I can be called large or fat. But I now weigh 150lbs and still have the extra 7lbs round the waist. There is no way I am going to lose it- I remember how hard I had to train and how carefull I had to be with my diet to keep excess weight off and I am not going through that again.
