Depends on a lot of factors, but usually any weight that is recently put on will come off pretty quickly.
Its up to you... use the mirror as your guide. If you are happy with your body and your health then just keep all your weights the same (don't increase them) and your muscles will stop adapting. Otherwise cut/bulk as you see fit...
what do you recommend as a summer gym. ymca, baylies? i dont really like the idea of paying for gym, but i will have to.
what is the best tasting/prices whey powder out there? what flavor?
how much does creatin matter, yay or nay? (if you dont have too much money)

I have a membership with 24 hour fitness. They were the only gym around that didn't force me to sign any contract - I can quit whenever I want. Plus they're open whenever, which rocks, and they happen to be the cheapest place around where I live (even cheaper than the YMCA and rec-center!).
I thought about just investing in a home gym but I don't have the room or the cash to get everything I would need. Besides, there's a TON of hot chicks there and its a great environment for working some subtle game (although my mind is almost always focused on lifting... but you know, between reps its nice to have a good distraction
)

As for whey protien, I like Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey but there are other good brands out there. Most of them will be just as good, it really just depends on cost and taste. O.N. is not too much and I actually think it tastes pretty good (esp. w/milk if you can fit it in your diet)
Creatine I'm not sure on because I haven't had a chance to use it. I've heard almost nothing but good things about it though and there are tons of studies showing that it increases power and endurance for lifting weights (which means more muscle stimulation which means more growth). If you can afford it I say give it a shot and see for yourself. Its not a necessity though, there are no "magic" supplements that will replace hard work and a good diet.

I'm a chocolate fiend myself, i like em all though. Mix in some yogurt and fruit and it makes a great MRP in the mornings.
I pay $40 a month for 24 hour fitness. The only thing that was annoying is that when you go to sign up they try anything to make you buy a package deal. Just don't give in to their Jedi Mind Tricks
