Good idea... I have a doctor appointment Wed. for my 6 month/6000 mile check. They do a weigh in, so I'll be wearing EXACTLY what I wore the last time...

Even better yet.... find a parking lot close by, and put your bike in a parking spot - just like the "old" pic - put on the same shirt - just like the old pic - and stand next to your bike pointing - just like the old pic.... 'Course, the weather might be a little prohibitive at the moment...

What an excellent comparison picture!
Good on you mate!

Yes, the belt...the bike is marginally faster...the W is definitely quicker, and I can carry more stuff on my trips, now. All it took is a commitment and reading labels...

I went on a trip to Germany in 2004. Bought velcro strapped shoes so I didn't have to mess around during the "security" checks...still have them, I prefer boots.....the down side to being able to just bend over and tie the laces is that my glasses tend to fall off!

Never mind, you look 100% better without the bulge..

You can breath out now.. none of us are looking.

I cut a good 8" off the end....

I trust you are talking about your belt....

but I can now reach down and tie my boots without having to put my foot up on a chair....

That's just lazy, I don't mind the extra exercise of lifting my feet up to tie my boots.. well maybe tie is a step too far, mine all do up with Velcro.

I do believe I've eaten more vegetables in the last year than the 64 preceding it...BUT, I also discovered that I could make them taste pretty good with a little careful planning and execution.

Congrats! I really envy you Troll!

CDNRatMan · January 28, 2015, 18:19:42 PM

Well done and looks good, now I have a goal when I retire.....lol.....

Troll · January 28, 2015, 18:11:35 PM

It took over a year, and the change was so gradual I didn't really notice it much until I saw that picture!. Yes, new clothes...I have a really nice 3 season armored jacket with a liner that is now WAY TOO BIG..........I don't know if I really feel all that better, but I can now reach down and tie my boots without having to put my foot up on a chair....

Looks great man! I'm sure it makes a huge difference in how you feel!

zig · January 28, 2015, 16:40:07 PM

Great job! I'll bet you feel quite a bit better?
I can lose about 10-15 pounds, but after a couple of months it finds me again

greenbarn · January 28, 2015, 16:18:40 PM

Congrats, Troll...

Well, at least you have one of those "one size fits all" belts - just keep cinching it up a notch or two, and tucking in the end!! I'm guessing you had to buy all new pants, though!

Troll · January 28, 2015, 14:13:45 PM

I'm showing off! Dave Hinton posted some pictures from the 2013 Drift-in, and one of them had me in it....I didn't know he took my picture, and now I'm even more sure I did the right thing by losing 100 lbs.....I can't believe I used to look like this and didn't think anything of it!!! Needless to say, the current version is on the left....172 lbs this morning....
