danaevett 179 Posted April 28, 2014 I'm 7 weeks out and I've dropped 1 pant size but the ones I'm currently wearing are a little big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recycled 2,182 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I think guys have a different perspective on weight loss sometimes. It's less about the numbers on the scale. For me, it's about my pant sizes. I gauge my progress with fitting into my smaller pants stashed away in my drawers. When I zip up that smaller pair, I get all excited and jump around amazed how good it feels to wear some old pair of jeans.

Fullofitx3 146 Posted April 30, 2014 I was at my biggest 42-44, now 36 comfortably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recycled 2,182 Posted April 30, 2014 I like that I have returned to belt loops. As I grew, I evolved into mostly pants or shorts with elastic or drawstrings. I stopped noticing size past 48's. (xxl) I'm now squeezing into 38's and my goal is to fit loosely in 36's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigboy76 102 Posted September 1, 2014 Looking good man. Congrats. I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow w/ Sept 16 surgery. I have started a new gym membership so I can tone while I lose. "Moobs" will be a big focus. There are some threads in the Guys Room on doing incline & decline press, and other ideas to help get rid of them. Keep up the good work!

penman53 493 Posted September 1, 2014 I started out 13 months ago with size 50 pants and a 4xlt shirt. I am now down to a size 34 pant and a Xlt shirt. For most of last year I would buy 2 pair of cheap Walmart jeans because I lost so many inches so consistantly that it didn't make sense to buy any decent clothes. Now I have completely replaced my wardrobe with nice clothes and I am back in business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rovobay 920 Posted September 3, 2014 You all kiss ass. I can't wait for that time to come. I know I have saved lots of clothes from over the years, but I want those to be too big too!!! so one of my tipping points was busting a couple pairs of work pants that got too tight, now a week before surgery and only down 15 pounds, they are loose and comfortable! can't wait to shred those pounds!!!
