OK, my turn I guess

 Very quick recap of my current situation.

I currently weigh in at 285 and my ultimate target goal is 210.  I have been at this weight before after coming down from a record high of 325.  I did it with Weight Watchers and exercise and I know I can do it again.  I am 6' and about 1/2 an inch tall with a very large skeletal frame so 210 is actually pretty skinny for me.

Current diet:

1) I usually start off with 2 breakfast bars or 2 packets of instant oatmeal, either equating to about 250 calories or 5 WW points.

2) I take a Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones frozen dinner with me to lunch at work and those are from 4 to 7 points each, depending on what I take.

3) Dinner is usually more of a problem and what I have varies but by this time I have up to about 15-18 points left to plan dinner and snacks.  Snacks I stick to rice cakes and air popped popcorn with artificial butter spray and flavored salt sprinkles.

Current Exercise:

Not a helluva lot.  This needs to change but it is hard when it is so damn hot. 

Future Exercise Plan:

1) Get back to Aikido!

2) Really.  Get back to Aikido.  (Needed to tell myself this twice.)

3) On days I don't go to Aikido, work out on WiiFit.  This is surprisingly effective.

More details later.  That's it for now!

Whatever weight you were at the bottom of your WW trend was definitely good for your frame, and even almost on the skinny side (from the outside observer). If that's what 210 looks like on you, I will never give that number the hairy eyeball just for "being over 200" (not that I would anway, but just sayin'). Funny how we lock onto numbers as good or bad as though it looks the same on everyone. :P

Yeah, those charts almost NEVER take into account what kind of frame you have. They say I should be 180. No way in hell would I be able to get there without being a skeleton.
