I eat at Red Lobster from time to time.
I don't go to the gym, do yoga or get much "extra" ciricular exercise. I play alot of hockey in the winter, but I can say that I have put on on pounds over the last couple of years.
When I graduated highschool and went into first year university, I was about 150lbs. I'm a steady 184lbs these days. But, I have the same waist size, which is sorta weird. My lower body is pretty much the mass of me, which is probably why I can drive the ball so far. And, also why i can't hit my irons far (i'm very arm-y with my irons, just can't get the leg drive figured out consistently enough to stick with that swing).
I have two brothers, one's 5'11" and about 195, the other is 5'10" and about 210. My sister is about 5'9", but she's like 110lbs, if that. Skinny as a rail. My Dad is about 5'3", maybe 140. Only my sister has what I would define as "athletic build", as you said. Both my brothers have beer guts, and they'd tell you that themselves.
I have thought of going on a regular exercise routine, maybe 2 times a week. I can't tell you the number of people that I know that have gone on exercise routines only to wear out their body in a matter of months. Running, weights, even yoga. People just don't understand that to be an "athlete" you have to train, rest, east well and not push yourself too hard. And by that I mean no beer, no snacks, work your muscles regularily with a set routine and never break that routine for any reason. That's what a true athlete does.
Me? I'd like to be about 175. If I got down to 175, I think i'd be at my ideal weight, in my mind's eye.

PS....B, I wasn't taking a shot at the waist size there, I was just having some fun....
