proper wattage for a resistor?

Do you know the difference between voltage, current, power and resistance.

If not then you need to learn about these before building your regulated supply.
Do you have a DMM, Digital Multimeter, if not -----STOP STOP STOP---

Do you know the difference between voltage, current, power and resistance.

I hate to repeat myself, but it looks to me that your understanding of electrical current needs improving.
