Weight loss challenge = New Monster!
Thought I'd say hi - not yet a monster owner but looking to be one this year!
I've just past my DAS (in a week and with only 2 minors - well chufted) and I'm looking to get a new 696 later this year. There's a catch though... Since i'm under the thumb SWMBO has said that I can only get the bike when I get down to a target weight!! As part of the 'bet' my parents will also give me something towards my insurance (which will be a big help considering my age!) So at the risk of public humiliation, I thought it might be a good way of motivating me if I had an on-line weight loss record - that way I can't hide from it! Think I might write a book if it goes well - 'I lost 3stone using the 'Ducati Diet''! What d'ya think? |

Hi and welcome!getting a new Monster (and some money) seems to me a good enough motivation..as mand has said watch how many calories are you taking in, cut on carbohydrates and plenty of exercise (boxing training, for example, works wonders..)

Join weight watchers! I did and lost 11lb in a month without much excersise as i`m a cripple at the moment.
A few years ago i did the atkins diet and lost 2 and a half stone in 5 weeks,I`d recomend the atkins diet but becareful as its easy put back on if you come off it. I suppose a diet is for life not just for a quick fix. I found with weight watchers that its easier to keep the weight off and goin to the meets regularly makes you wana lose as you would die of embarassment if you went to get weighed and you had put on. |

Well I'm aiming to do as you say - eat good but keep daily intake low, get up to exercising more - long, fast walks at the min, will get to running once I'm a bit lighter! My Dad's got a VFR750, my friends have got some plasticky sports bikes but since I was 13 I remember hearing a ducati monster with some loud pipes tear past and I thought: that's the one for me! Can't wait!!! |

You are right about the Weightwatchers - the Atkins diet is wrong, plain wrong! Not good for the constitution and I don't mean the Royal Family either! |

My wife has put me on diet too she reckons that I look like a beached killer whale in my black and white leathers. This means no beer, crisps and just good food and small portions at that. Life is tough but I hope it be worth it because I am suffering with hunger pains.

Now I'm trying to work out what my Mrs would do if I said 'Lose some weight and I'll buy you a present', infact I know what would happen and it would be painful!!
Good luck with the diet - I lost nearly a stone when I did my DAS a couple of years ago - it was boiling hot and I wore full kit for four days and was too nervous to eat! Kept it off since and working on another in time for the beach in August. Thank Crunchie it's Friday (oops - sorry for mentioning the C word!) |

I guess the draw of the deep-fried mars bars have been too tempting for you in Glasgow.
You've got the best incentive going though, a new bike for a bit of weigh loss, fantastic. Set yourself realistic goals, eat less junk food & just a little extra exercise every week could do you wonders. Maybe you could jog to your nearest Ducati garage twice a week to look at the bike ?

Yup, WeightWatchers and exercise is the way to go.
Training for a marathon helps! Good luck - it will all be worth it in the end. |

try the snow boarding, dont even know your doing it but nearly passed out with dehydration after 30 mins. Who said exersise wasn't fun. I think you might need to watch what you eat on top of this, cant say it will all be fun. |
