    Down 3 pant sizes!

    The past few weeks - month my pants have just been HUGE on me. I wear a size 48 and I had just bought 5 or 6 new pairs of pants back in Feb... which are not cheap at my size. Anyway, I got tired of my shorts just about falling down so I went and tried some on yesterday. 44 fits me comfortably and I could just about squeeze into a 42, but, my thigs are still too big. My waist would have been fine with a 42, I think.

    I'm noticing change with my shirt sizes too, but, I have such a big, saggy belly that I still need larger shirts to get it all covered. I've always worn Tall sizes and probably will continue doing so as I'm 6'3, but, shopping is getting easier!

    Woah grats! Clothes will be significantly cheaper as you slim down. I'm about your starting weight, so I know exactly how it feels.

    Soon you'll walk into a Big and Tall shop, and they won't have anything small enough to fit you.
    What I do:
    Elliptical gym machine 1 hr Tue-Sun
    At 320, switch to cycling on my Trek 500
    2 filtered containers water/day
    Daily salads/veggies

    Goals:
    Stop needing High Blood Pressure meds - DONE!
    Workout in a XXXL shirt     - DONE!
    Workout in a XXL shirt
    Workout in a XL shirt
    270 on the scales

      Yeah, $50 for a pair of jeans is just too rich for my blood. Sometimes I get lucky on the old navy website, but, for the most part, I end up at Sears or the like. the Big and Tall store here has some clothes that fit, but, I usually don't like HOW they fit, plus, they are super expensive.

      I hate to start buying a bunch of clothes now as they'll be obselete soon any way to shrink jeans down a few sizes? I guess I could boil them in a big stock pot if I needed too, lol

        congratulations on your smaller clothing size! i guess you can see that you shouldn't invest too much $$ into smaller sizes since you are going to continue to lose.

              way to go! I shop at "consignment" shops and thrift stores here in Ga. and they are filled with bargains on clothes! They will even buy the ones that no longer fit you. High quality stuff also - the consignment shops will not sell junk. Good luck on your journey

                    Thanks!

                    Saturday morning I made my way out to the garage to look through some older clothes that USED to fit. Found a pair of jeans, could not make out the label anymore, but, last time I tried them on I could not get them up past my knees. Saturday they were saggy and loose on me.
