I'm 5'6" and am at a comfy weight of 205lbs. If it were up to me, I'd go up to 230lbs, but I can't. I still live with my parents (I just turned 18), and they've recently discussed my weight with me and said that I should start trying to slim down for health reasons (bah!). In other words, I can't gain anymore. My goal, is to have a nice big belly, with a little bit of an apron. I'm just about there too, I think. I'd say by another 10lbs or so. But I was wondering, since I can't gain anymore until I'm off on my own (another year...), if there's anything I can do get me my overhang and stay at the same weight? Seems impossible?

Anyways, this is what I've got going so far:

I think that 205 lb is a good weight for your height and age and there will be a good few guys on this site who will be really envious! I was about half that when I was 5'6" - real beanpole then but not any more thank goodness.

Be patient and cherish what you have. By feeding you your parents have helped you to become what you are but they cannot physically stop you from gaining some more unless they cut off your food supply. They obviously care about you and that has to be good. I'd say stay as you are and see how you like it.
