I gained 5 lbs a year, each year of college, until I hit 135 (I'm 5-2")... then I decided it was too much for me. I have been back down at 130, now more like 128, for the last 8 years... going to the gym semi-regularly, integrating calorie-burning into my daily schedule if I can't go to the gym (like Snowy said), and eating well (not drinking soda/pop is a HUGE help that most people don't realize, btw). I hope to maintain this weight in my 30s, at least until I start having children. My goal is to be in better health in my 30s than I was in my 20s, and I think it's entirely possible if you set the goals and stick with them. What about running? It only requires a pair of running shoes, no gym membership, and it burns a heck of a lot of calories.
I have to ask, though... why were you infuriated with James when he was basically confirming what you had already admitted? You apologized for putting on weight, and then he said it was okay, and then you got angry at him... for responding to your statement? I guess I am not sure what you expected him to say, after you already admitted that you recognized your weight gain... just a thought.
