I've been running & lifting weights for years but I love to eat! Especially anything with salt, sugar or fat. I started a simple diet on Thanksgiving day & lost 12 pounds so far. I only eat when I'm truly hungry, not when I'm craving tasty food. Then I eat healthy. Nasty tasting stuff like chicken, fish, vegetables...yuck!
But I'm taking in about 2/3 the calories as before & not going hungry. I've got a ways to go but I hope to be thin again by summer. The goatfood cravings are all but gone now. If I get to 200 pounds I'll go up one tooth on my front sprocket.

Did Weight Watchers last year with the wife. I lost a bit over 60 pounds on a 1500 calorie diet eating mainly rabbit food like raw carrots, fruit and a little chicken. Dropped from a 52 to a 48 for my jacket size so had to get a new riding leather
. Been able to keep it off but can't kill a case of beer over a weekend or eat pizza like I used to. Took a while to get used to being at 215 lb, got used to having a awning over the candy store
. My wife just got to 100 pounds for her weight loss and is still going. Sometimes I think she is trying to get down to her orignial birth weight of 8lbs, 6oz.

Been fighting the weight issue since I played football in the 8th and 9th grade at 205 lbs. Did 20 years in the USAF running three miles aday to stay at my max weight of 201. Tore up my left knee (ripped my ACL in two tore all my medial mencis cartlidge out. Been downhill since. Now at 315 lbs. Been kicking around doing a gastric bypass for two years now. Been thru the process and see the doctor on Jan 2nd to schedule the surgery. Can't imagine how good suzi will run a 100lbs lighter!!!

>>>Get 30 min. of aerobic exercise 3x/week
Does riding the savage count?
Only if you are stunt riding ... jumping from seat to rear fender to handlebars and back again every 5 sec.

One of the real limitations of the Savage when it comes to weight loss is that once you replace the stock muffler with a better breathing unit, and the rear fender with a fiberglass item, about the only other thing of any significant weight is the fuel tank and there again you would have to go with fiberglass.

I would think that if one was improving the fuel tank, they would also increase the capacity, so that might offset the gains by goinng the Fiberglass route......
Carbon fiber rims/wheels maybe???

At least in my case, after losing the stock muffler the best way to shed overall weight is from the rider.
