Thanks snap...I'll probably avoid the "ick" posts...not that I can't handle it (of course...), I just don't need to...

I don't see a reason to limit yourself mr silver, although we do sometimes touch on subjects that would give you a high "ick factor".
If you do feel the need for male companionship, Bike Journal seems to have a good group of guys- not nearly as testosterone laden as some other forums.

Maybe we need an ick alert icon.
Sometimes I want to avoid those posts too.

Hey Mr. Silver,
I was reading lately that they are now saying the BMI numbers can be misleading. Apparently a BMI sometimes classifies athletic people with muscles as being "overweight" when it's actually muscle mass being measured, not fat. I don't know a lot about it, but you might want to take BMI with a grain of salt- especially if you start losing fat and gaining muscle. At any rate, BMI is a subject that is being questioned these days.Lisa

You're right...as I progress, I'll be doing well to fall into the classification of being prone to BMI distortion... I look forward to the problem.

Welcome, Mr. Silver! You can certainly do this.
I just wanted to throw out there that my big downfall has always been overeating when I do a lot of exercise. Somehow I think, "Oh, I biked 25 miles today, I can eat whatever I want." Not exactly true. There's some food researcher dude who studied this, and he says that people vastly overestimate the calories the burn through exercise. So hit the bike and weights, but then don't hit the fridge.
Happy New Year and best of luck with your resolution.

Thanks theav and jeannie for the warm welcome! I'll try to keep things rockin'.
Offthegrid, you're absolutely right. I've experienced it every time. I'm an "On" or "Off" personality...I don't toe lines well at all. So, I have to diet 100% or I know I won't get anywhere.
This is working...I feel that I'll let the group down if I don't succeed!

Go get your body fat % and go by that. Much more accurate.
Otherwise, you can lose the weight! Hey, don't you want to look *hot* for your wifey?
Good luck and welcome to the boards."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Yep. This thinking had me gain 10 pounds this summer, when I was working out more than I ever had in my entire life. Originally Posted by Offthegrid

Root'n fer ya
Mr. Silver, you have my best wishes and my husband is also closely watching. He is not overweight but he does have a goal of being able to keep up with his wife. He won't say it out loud but he's pulling for you like a brother.
I like your blog and wanted to comment but you have to be a member of Yahoo 360. And well.... I'm not there yet. I don't think I can over come my technical challenges to start up a page. Although, it would help me communicate with friends and family far, far away.
Wait, I think I sense another New Year's resolution forming.
