Should my hubby worry about a five pound weight gain?
He has fluctuated between 145 and 150 for years and now he is 155. He is so worried about it that his doctor has prescribed tests. He said it is because he has gained 5 pounds in one year. During this year he has travelled extensively for work (and eating very well while he was at it), is working more hours, visited the local bakery more often than in the past, bought donuts for breakfast twice a month, frequented a local dairy/ice cream bar more often, and since our son was born in 2004 slacked off on physical activity (used to hike and x-c ski often). Personally, I don't think he needs all these tests (except to eliminate the possiblitiy of major problems but they are just adding stress) and he just needs to get back to his old lifestyle.

He shouldnt worry too much, many people gain 3-5 lbs per year after high school until their early thirties so that fluctuation isnt too bad. However, since he is traveling a lot and his physical activity has decreased i would highly recommend visiting http://www.squidoo.com/toptipstoloseweightfast, not only does it help with nutritional advice and info, but they also have research panelists who get paid to just review and research programs and rate them!! i recommend it to my clients, its absolutely great!~ Good luck by the way and he should have nothing to worry about

You are right on the money!
Although, I guess it can't hurt to get the tests run, if your insurance will cover the costs. However, I would not worry one spec. It is the easy living. Also as you get older, it is easier to gain weight and HARDER to take it off.

You have answered your own question, he shouldn't worry about his weight gain all he has to do is give up the bad eating habits he has developed, and get back to being more active.
