    Adding my welcome to the group, Mr. Silver!

    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!

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

    I know now my downfall is eating out. Can't eat out. Must go home and eat healthy.

    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.
