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

welcome Mr. Silver! This whole post is cracking me up! As for me... I'm a life time Weight Watcher (12 yrs!) who this year finally fell off the wagon. I gained 20lbs over 2006 due to my own negligence, stress and medical stuff... all excuses for eating too much and not exercising enough. So, I am now aware again of every single thing I put into my body...

For me, I don't worry about BMI or percentages... I just want to look and feel good. I know if I walk and ride regularly I will fit into the size clothes I want to wear... not nearly scientific enough for some... but it works for me... and my doc is happy with it too.

Go get 'em Mr. Silver... and I'm with ya on this too!

Welcome and Happy New Year, Mr. Silver! I'm behind you all the way, cheering you on! I hope you (and I) can both attain our goals for 2007.

As for me, I'm with you bikerchick - I don't worry about weight or BMI - I know what size I want to be and I feel good when I'm there. I let my clothes be my guide. (and right now I'm not there )

welcome Mr Silver! So what happens if all our dh's want to sign up? We can call them Team testosterone! The T T's. I am cracking myself up! Any way welcome and right on with trying to get yourself in better shape. you sound like you will do it. But we are always here. Hey maybe you should go to the "getting to know you" thread we send everyone else new there.

So what happens if all our dh's want to sign up? We can call them Team testosterone!

I doubt that half the DH's out there are man enough or secure enough in their manhood to hang out on this forum.

I'm 5'7" (barely) with a wife who's 5'8"...I had to become secure in my masculinity a long time ago...

Are you rounding up again?

Luv ya!

PS: you did great at dinner tonight!

[Mr. Bloom]

Yes Dear, I'm rounding up.

For the record, I'm 5' 6 15/16" tall...not 5'7"

Mr. Silver- what are your caloric goals for each day? Are you aiming for 1200 calories? 1400 calories? Etc.?

How many times a day are you eating?

I looked at your food logs, and I strongly encourage you to start toying with different foods.

The calories you spend on eating rice, could be used elsewhere on something that is more nutritious, less calories, and fills you up more.

The key is learning what low calorie foods fill you up.

I eat around 1800 calories a day, 6-7 times a day, and I never feel hungry. It's hard to stay on a healthy eating plan, if you are hungry all the time.

I'm not an expert by any means... and maybe I just found what works for me.... but I'm not hungry and I lose weight.


PS- Go to www.calorieking.com, to get the calories for what you eat out.

You logged this meal incorrectly: 1 Wendys Chicken Caesar with only 1 dressing about 310 cal.

It was really 540 calories. Now, that's with the croutons and dressing.

200 missed calories in a day can really add up and equal not losing the weight you are expecting to lose... and discourage you.

On the upside though, you may have miscalculated the Arby's sandwhich. A regular roast beef Arby's sandwhich is only 320 calories, vs the 420 you logged.
