I'm not an avid moth hobbyist, but I have an admirable taxidermy collection including a deaths head moth I purchased prepared. Beautiful specimen. Also a tobacco horn worm hawk moth I raised from a larvae. It was actually supposed to be food for my bearded dragon but I realized he was way too big when we got home so I kept him as a pet, he mothed, and enjoyed a pleasurable short life before joining the other moth on my shelf.

Drinking a bottle of vodka by myself. Considering catching an Uber to the bar down the street for the ball drop later.

I've cut back already. Wanna drop 10ish and cutting alcohol is really the only way to do it since I rarely eat any sort of restaurant food or junk.

I dropped 40ish in ~6 mos couple yrs ago now by doing a modified Atkins and burning 1K+ per day in exercise while keeping total caloric intake minus 1k whatever I calulated burning (1k burnt over take in = 7k per week = 2lbs, and helps if calories taken are mostly protein). It was rough and had diminishing returns at the end but it's certainly doable in a year.

Atkins works. It's bad for your heart and makes you feel tired all the time for the first couple weeks or month, but it works. Even with moderate exercise (hiking once or twice a week), I lost like 25 pounds in a summer (this was around 12 years ago now). You're young enough you should be fine.

Every so often I browse this site for people looking to make music and whatever, this is the weirdest ad I've seen in a while - http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/female-available-t936289.html
It's weird coming across people that seem like they're actually stupid and yet are attempting things that you don't really associate with stupid people.

This past year was the first I've been strict about my diet. I'd never worried about my weight before until over the summer, when I noticed myself looking a bit chunkier. I bought a scale in July, weighed in at 169 lb, and watched myself go to 176 by September. That's when I stopped eating breakfast at McDonalds, and got rid of a few carb-heavy snacks at home. Later on I cut way back on sugary drinks, which started with replacing juice with tea at home. I was also careful about portions during holiday meals.
I'm 166 now. I still drink a lot of wine, and barely exercise, so it's not the strictest of weight loss programs, but it's working.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
umf weigh in time! I got so stressed with work that I went from 114 lbs to 98 lbs. it doesn't really show but all my clothes fit super baggy. I honestly don't give a shit about weight I just want to be healthy and strong. Pretty simple enough to keep.
