One never knows how much time we have on this earth so you might be quite correct..I havent any intention of losing that much weight..but i might want to lose a 450# motorbike...
I have had great success at regaining my health..too bad my health and knowledge of XS650s is so poor...I do not know if i will keep the bike..because it isnt meeting my expectations..In a year's time i may be dust on this forum...I dont dare mention this in the main body of the forum ,,as i will prolly get reamed for it..but i am very discouraged with the XS650....
Thankyou Peanut..I really do appreciaate your kind words of wisdom...When I first joined up
..i had no idea of who was who or what was what...But it has become clear to me over tome who is knowledeable and friendly enough to want to help..I must say the the majority here are friendly..supportive and willing to help..Every forum has someone that has their nose up in the air..so to say...
I will consider PMing those whom I feel I can trust..but mind you I know i am in way over my head..i cant hold a candle to the expertise here..
This thread is one of the very few places ...where I know what I am talking about because I am living it everyday..I feel comfortable more here than anywhere else on the forum..
On a more related issue to this topic..my weigh in this a.m. I am 138 lbs..just 9 lbs shy of what I weighed when i was in my 20s' in college..over 40 yrs ago..That is nothing short of amazing to me...today i fit into a size small t shirt that i have not worn since 1982..Yes its that old ...
My normal diet is...your weight loss is nothing short of phenominal max . i just cannot get my head around it. I would love to know how much you eat every day because no matter how little I eat I have not been able to reduce my weight more than 30 lbs in 30 years of trying. I still eat the same quantities as I used to 20 years ago when I was a lot more active than I am now. Its tough for me to break the cycle of comfort eating too.
When I left school I was lean and fit but still weighed a hefty 175 lbs because I was a sprint swimmer and field athlete . To get back there I would need to lose a further 45 lbs !
Don't worry too much about knowledge and experience max ...it will come. Just enjoy your XS650 . Just fettling and tinkering can be very rewarding even if you are unable to ride it. You are welcome to PM me with the issues you have with your bike and I'll see if I can offer any help or at least point you in the right direction to get some good advice.
best regards Johnny

Not quite Fred...Bike is fine..but i cannot really do anything until i finish paying it off...basically right now itts tires and the rear brake..the 40 year old suspension is not getting upgraded anytime soon...aside from that i am not a mechanic..simple things like oil and tires..i can do..its just the more complicated things i cannot do and have not a good mindset to do...Hi max,seems to me that your XS650 also has a health problem and any reaming you get here
will be for not taking your bike's problems to the Garage section to get it a proper diagnosis, eh?
Yep..I even have a special omlette pan that is hinged in the middle so you can cook both sides add the ingredients ..bacon and cheese to one side then close the 2 halves together and cook alternating from one side to the other.. 3 or 4 mins..and the omlette comes out thick and fluffy..takes about 20 mins in my pan...breakfast is my favorite meal...i get to eat bacon..i love it..LOL

Mind you I dont always use it...only part of the time..normally I use a 10" fry pan or skillet... I cover the pan and lower the heat when i add the cheddar cheese I dont use any thing but a fork and my fingers to pull one side over to fold it once the cheese has melted.....then I just slide it out of the pan onto the plate without using a spatula...
oh..nice,,gotta try one...I love poached eggs, use a Nordic Ware egg poacher, only 1 minute in the microwave...
