129.1 Pounds Gone Forever!
(It's not what you think)

So, it was raining Saturday, and I couldn't do shed building. So, I thought, I'll clean out my closet and get rid of all those clothing that don't fit me anymore.

I'm NOT GOING BACK to my previous weight, (I never threw away any clothing before when I did the LOW FAT diets, because I knew that the low fat diets were unsustainable! But you already knew that!)

Result: Big clothing ~ BE GONE!

I started putting the clothing in large trash bags. I thought it would never end.

There were 10 bags! It was so much, I decided to weigh all the clothing. So I set up a large lid on my scale and put each bag on it, after tarrying all the weights, it added up to 129.1 lbs! WOW! That's a lot of clothing. There were sweaters, shirts, overalls, slacks, one suit, jackets, blue jeans, ~ hundreds if not thousands of dollars of clothing (when you add it up at new cost).

Here is a pic of me and the bags:

On Sunday, I took them to a "DAV" box and pitched them all in:

Maybe they can sell them and use the money to help the vets...

I thank God and all of YOU for helping me in this great adventure!

    You look great Dan! Charity for the Vets is such a great cause.

    My old fat clothes round up is scheduled for Jan 1st! I like bagged clothing weight idea. I'm inspired by you --as usual.

    Awesome! I take mine to a consignment store whenever I drop a size. It's a great feeling to commit to never wearing that size again!
