using the larger size notches on your belt since you started homebrewing? I'm noticing a rather substantial increase in girth since taking on this new hobby...

A bit, but I say it's not the beer. It's the sitting. Damn liquor laws. It's all the governments fault. If I could walk around in public swailing HB I would be much leaner.

i lost some pounds at first, the old liquid diet. but quit smoking about a mounth and a half ago, and my beer intake has seriously doubled in that time. so im at 200 lbs, never been over 185 in my life
You are 27. I'd either start exercising now, or start getting used to it. 30 is right around the corner!

Yeah, that might be the case with me too..
I started brewing about half a year ago, and think i might need to go shopping for a new belt..
Or maybe it's because work slowed down since then. Ofcourse, with work being slower and slower i brew more, and while brewing i consume more. A viscious cycle, and another result of the recession..
Offcourse it doesn't have anything to do with when i first started kegging i emptied it in 7 days! Or the increased intake with my other hobby, grilling, of both beer and food.

I don't want to think about you drinking without your pants on !!!
I blame all of my weight gain on SWMBO. She's a hot little Italian who's a great cook, and whose best dishes include a mean lasagna and a killer cheesecake !
It's got NOTHING to do with my homebrewing...or the lack of work in the construction industry !!! NOTHING !

Are you my wife? Creepy!
I drink to stay in shape. Round is a shape right?
Ironically, after full disclosure to my doctah regarding my activity, drinking, and lack of weight loss. He suggested it might be more biological than chemical. That is to say, he's looking at my blood as relates to Thyroid.
He also suspects that my drinking may have s'thing to do with my cholesterol staying where it is at despite all the crap I eat.

Sorry to brag, but my job started offering free personal trainers. I met with mine, and she told me I needed to GAIN 5 lbs. On top of that, if I meet this lofty goal then my employer will pay me $50.

Beer, not rocket chemistry
It isn't the beer, it is global warming. You see the world is warmer, so it is expanding. This makes it larger and so even though it is rotating at the same rate, the outer edge, where we all live is spinner faster. Thus the gravity is greater and so we are being compressed, or better put, we are being flattened out. Therefore our wastes are getting larger. Likewise, our abdominal muscles have not adapted to the greater gravitational pull and can't hold our stomaches in as they once did. Go have another beer and curse the industrial age for making your waist bigger!

-3 belt notches and ~22 lbs since June but my beer intake has declined. I started packing on the pounds from being out of work with a bad back for a few years and had to start watching my weight. Back's gotten better since and I've become more active but my words aren't being slurred as much

the type that accomodate a compact frame pistoletta would be awesome. but calli has these very defined "concealed carry" laws. perhaps the erkil model. but not so flashy. a color like pink.

I started eating much healthier. You have to sacrifice for the love of the brew!
Who's to say that paleolithic man / cavemen didn't drink beer?
