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.

"Keep plugging along. The finish line is getting closer with every step. When you see it, you won't remember that you are hurting, that anything has gone wrong, or just how slow or fast you are.
You will just know that you are going to finish and that was what you set out to do."

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.

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.
