Do you drink a lot of Jack Daniels?

I don't know enough about your total exercise routine and diet to give you an answer. Sometimes weightlifting will add muscle and add weight.
How much time do you spend on the treadmill? How much time do you weightlift per week?
Give us a synopsis of your diet. Do you eat sweets? Minimize your fat intake?

I have been active physically for over thirty years. I was up to 247 lbs at 6'2" and lost down to 213 lbs. I generally kept it off by keeping down sugar and fat intake and running, playing tennis.
About 5 years ago (I am 58) I my weight was back up to 220, right after the Christmas holidays. I had a physical exam and my cholesterol was 233. I went on another diet got down to 205, and cholesterol of 160. Then about 2 years ago, I started biking.
I highly recommend biking (cycling, no motor). It is great aerobic activity and burns calories at the rate of 750 per hour. I have lost more weight and eat well (I do stay away from sugar and most fat).
