Checking in myself, hi :)

I guess I'm your token male to the group :P

@mil/jenn: yeah, it's the start of the high holy days for the Jewish religion...  Just passed Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur is this Wednesday night, and they both have big meals... people gathering, making a big dinner...  It's going to look a lot like Thanksgiving, for a reference point...  hopefully I can avoid over-eating without looking rude.

looking forward to losing weight with some help :)

    Well, I have a VERY heavy frame, and Lots of muscle mass  (heavy lifting and activity at my work pretty much necessitates it).  I have to ignore BMI entirely...  my doc wants me to get to 247.

    For my height 6'3", 247 puts me at a BMI of 30.9...  in the obese category,  but at that point, I might be perfectly healthy.  (or not, I may need to lose more, since it's been a couple years since my doc told me 247, and muscle mass tends to decline with age... I plan to have him do the whole sending me for testing thing again at that point.)  If I were to get down to 199, which is the 24.9 BMI, I'd have to lose muscle mass and probably still be at an unhealthily low body fat %.

    So just a reminder that BMI is just a rough guideline, remember to check with your doc if it's accurate for YOU.

    Hehe, thanks :)

    Yeah "down into the 300s" does sound a bit weird, I agree :P, but it puts me that much closer to the psychologically all-important 299 marker...  I haven't been below 300 in 4 years, so I'm looking forward to it. :)

    Thanks for the concern, it's always appreciated. :)

    I'm betting part of that drop is loss of water...  despite my drinking every chance I get, when I get sick, I never seem to get enough.

    hoping that I might still end up down for the month by 10 lbs. or so :)  we'll see next Friday.

    I'd be more thrilled, but the fast drop is cause I'm sick, and I tend to lose appetite when I'm sick...  we'll see if it stays off when I'm better.

    If you have a NEW neighbor with an annoying animal (ie, outdoor cat getting in garage & spraying/damaging, dogs constantly barking, etc.), would you: 

    a) gently confront the neighbor with your concerns, suggestions, requests, etc;

    b) not mention it to the neighbor, but contact the homeowner's association (if you have one) and start to 'get to know' the neighbor anyway;

    c) completely shut out/ostrocize the neighbor;

    d) other?

    amusing that you asked this, cause I had this exact thing happen...  Started out with A, ended up with D.

    My kid walks to the bus stop, and the new neighbors live between us and it.  They have a very agressive dog, which would run out and snarl/bark and chase my kid.

    I went to them, and informed them what was happening, and they promised to keep the animal restrained, at least when my kid was due to go past.  Figured that was good enough, and went about my business.

    2 days ago, they forgot/neglected to secure the dog, and it chased down and bit my kid as he was walking home.

    Where-upon they got a visit from the sherriff, and official notice that if the dog is EVER seen running free on the street again, they will take and destroy it without further notice, since it has a documented case of attacking people.

    I love dogs normally, but if you have a mean one, you'd Better have it tied up, or fenced off from public areas.

    Q:   If you caught a nasty cold, and then noticed at the end of the week you had it, you dropped 5 lbs (cause of lack of appetite while sick), would you try to catch another?  (known people that did this)
