NSV to end all NSVs (for me anyway)

contingencyplan

For those of you who know me, you will know that getting my motorcycle, a Suzuki SV650, was also what started me on my weight loss kick. Being 335 lbs kinda works against you when learning to ride on a sporty bike...

Anyway, after I reached a low enough point to be able to gauge what size I'll be when I'm done, I purchased this:



I needed a suit to be able to take intermediate to advanced level riding lessons (which take place on a race track) and fitting into it has been my only real goal since. Well, here you go:

July 2009:


Today, October 28, 2012, a month and a half following the Panniculectomy (post-weight loss skin removal surgery from lower abdomen in which 4 lbs of skin were removed):



Total 130 lbs down. Still got a little more to lose, but, there you go! Next year, TRACK DAYS!

That's awesome. You look great!

lachesissss

Well damn. Way to go! You look awesome!

Thanks! And I just want everyone to know I didn't deprive myself of jack squat. I still ate the same foods I got fat on (pasta, pizza, burgers, etc...) I just made sure to cook everything myself in my own kitchen from healthy ingredient choices rather than getting stuff processed and premade from fast food joints. Anyone with a George Foreman grill can take 1/4 lb of 93% lean beef and make a burger that will put anything on the menu at McD's to shame and is way healthier.

So true! I am eating similar meals but less of them and a healthy version. You look great. Hope you enjoy the bike riding.

Great job!

Colorfan

Thats awesome man! Way to go!

By the way, how did that surgery go? Painful or pretty smooth? I hear so much mixed stuff about it.

Jamie_Lauren

WOOHOO! :drinker:

And that's an awesome outfit for if you need to go into a controlled slide on your motorcycle. :smokin:

First off, Congratulations on your AMAZING transformation! INCREDIBLE!

Second... to see you wearing a full suit (and a HELMET) makes me incredibly proud of you (and I don't even know you)... well done and thank you for riding SMART. The idiots around here (in NC where helmets are a nuisance and nearby SC where they aren't required) who ride in tshirts, shorts and a skull cap infuriate me with their stupidity... I don't even ride and I have more respect for myself (and other riders) than that.

You sir, are AWESOME.

dmpizza

Great for you.

Just don't lose too much weight on the highway(like an arm or leg).

Enjoy.

PS Sorry to be gruesome, but too many family members have lost pieces on the road.

LesaDave

That's wonderful. And you look great in your suit. Good luck on your race...when you are ready.

rachelredefined

You look amazing! I just saw this pop up on the side of my homepage, and was definitely a surprise. You're definitely an inspiration to me and many, many other people. Keep it up!
