Mr. Silver says "Silver tried to kill me!!!"

**silver** · 12-30-2006, 06:47 AM

OK ladies, Silver and I rode together each of the last two days. On Thursday, she took me for a 60 mile ride (

not really, it was only 10 miles, but it felt like 60

). I was riding my son's new Trek Pilot (what a kid to share his Christmas present

).

I hadn't exercised in about two months and the holidays added 10+ lbs

...so I guess it's time for a New Year's resolution...

So, bowing to my wife's superior athletic abilities(and those she associates with

), I willingly submit myself to the accountability and encouragement of this group.

12/30/06: Weight: 190, Waist 35/36, BMI ~29

6 Mo Goal: Weight: 160, Waist 31/32, BMI ~25

'07 Goal: Ride the "Hilly Hundred" in Bloomington and hold my own with the athletically superior love of my life a/k/a "Silver"

I've done this before. I can do this again!

This group (and only this group) has unbridled permission to hold me accountable to this goal. If I am slacking in my progress, you have permission to call me whatever "girly names" you need to get my attention.

I don't want to crash your estrogen laden forum, but can I get my own user name now?

A man's forum is way too macho for me...

Sure, just register as Mr. Silver. No rules against men posting. Good luck with your weight loss goals!

.....I don't see why not

Plus it's less confusing for me, for eg the "this is Silvers husband and a picture of Silver with her silver bike and tree" and my thinking "wow, he looks spectacular in drag, just like a beautiful woman! oh...wait...ok, hubby is writing, that's Silver in the pic."

Then I'd know who's talkin'

We're here to cheer you on! Keep us up to date on your progress.

Yeah, that's what I thought at first too- that he looked GREAT in drag!

"As long as you leave the seat down"....FUNNY!!!

As far as I know, I think TE welcomes men posters that have positive attitudes about women.

Good for you trying to get in better shape!- just what we all are trying to do too.

"leave the seat down"

Trek my love, you made me snort coffee....

(how do you manage to be so funny so early in the morning?)

Mr. Silver, I look forward to your participation on the board!

but just one sexist joke buster, and we'll call you girly names

Welcome, Mr. Silver! Let us know when you've got your new handle....

Now, girls, we aren't going to follow suit and post our weights and measurements

, are we?? Yikes! Some things I just don't want anyone to see in print!

But the objectives he has set are excellent, and we can certainly "help" him out in keeping to it.

Hugs and butterflies,

Good Luck with your goals, we will be mapping and supporting your progress!!

karen

trek...you absolutely kill me, how long does it take you to think up this stuff

**Bikingmomof3** · 12-30-2006, 10:02 AM

Welcome Mr. Silver.

Excellent and reasonable and attainable goals.

**Mr. Bloom** · 12-30-2006, 10:17 AM

...and I was trained a long, long time ago ... that if I didn't put the seat down ... that I might wind up in a galaxy far, far away...

**LBTC** · 12-30-2006, 10:26 AM

Mr. Silver

Welcome aboard, and you have inspired DH and me, too. Although neither of us feel brave enough to post the measurements and specifics online, we will, on Jan 1, record the statistics and design some reasonable objectives. (Not before - no chance to eat right until we finish painting the kitchen!)

Maybe we need a whole new forum for the discussion of how each of us is doing towards said objectives?

Happy New Year to all!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

I'm not even sure what my objectives are anymore.

Welcome Mr. Silver - being called by your wife's last name should be payment enough!

I wish you well in your goals - I also need to start really getting with it on the riding!

Great Idea!

Remember, People do what you INSPECT, not what you EXPECT

I've created a blog on yahoo. Anyone's welcome to post to it (I think...). I also welcome limiting my posts on team estrogen to a specific forum...
