Jumbofrank mentioned (in New guy has questions) being outweighed by only one rider on the PoPo forum. I must be it. I'm 6'3" and 355 or so right now. Slowly losing weight... Got me curious. Am I the heaviest or is someone else taxing their Polaris more than me?

 

I guess this isn't the place to mention the wifes name. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

Scooter, that's funny. There was a time my wife wouldn't tell me how much she weighed. My wife was, for her height, actually more overweight than me. She lost a hundred pounds and is looking better than when we got married 22 years ago. I wish I had her tenacity to keep to dieting. With my build I should be around 250... We went to a Chinese food restaurant after she lost weight. The know us pretty good and said, "Your wife has lost weight?" I told them a hundred pounds. They looked like they were going into shock. I figured it out later that most of the waitresses at the restaurant only weigh 100 lbs. to begin with. I tell people, "My wife has lost a Chinese food restaurant waitress' weight."

 

Well, mine is a bit on the heavy side, but then we've both added a few pounds over the years. She's quitting smoking this week, which I'm thankful for. Next she plans on the addressing the weight issue. If it keeps her around a few extra years, I'm all for it.

Heck, somebody has to take care of me.

Congrats to the wife for the weight loss. It's not an easy thing to do.

 

Yep, diet is truly a bad 4 letter word.

 

You got me Moose. 6'3 and I tip the scales(literally) at around 300 give or take.
Doc tell's me I should be around 220 so around a Chinese waitress to lose here.

Heck if I lost that my 800 would be so much more fun to ride......

Out west, in the woods

 

Yeah, BigBros, everything would be a lot more fun. I first hurt my knees and shot up to 280, and then hurt my back and got up to present. Doctors don't want to work on it until I lose weight. When I did carpentry 40+ hours a week it wasn't hard to lose. Now it is.

 

I'm 6' 0" and I weigh in at 285 . I am large framed, so 200 would be about right for me, and that is my goal. My 700efi doesn't seem to mind my 285 lbs though.

 

Hey Moose, I hear what you are saying.
I used to be on my feet all day for work in the IT world. Easy to keep a decent weight then.

Now I am an IT Program/Project manager, sit on Conference Calls most of my work day with the teams.
Trouble is that means I have to pay for my exercise to try and keep in shape, oh and back away from the feedbag sooner.

hahaha. Hard to pass up a really good Barbeque.

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! ........shea.............
