NSV: new pants and belt :)

Baratta930

Hi all,

Just wanted to share because my family just roles their eyes at these

I'm down roughly 28 lbs since starting and it was time to admit that my pants were getting a little too big for me (ok falling off). So I went to buy new jeans figuring I went down a size. Well woohoo I went from 38 (relaxed fit) jeans (that were, ahem, snug) to 34 (relaxed fit) that fit perfect in the store! The problem is that after wearing them a few days they're loose on me so I need to check out the regular fit soon

Ok, so they're vanity sizing (even for men, geez) but a NSV is a NSV

8 more lbs to go and then I'm at my first goal (180lbs on a 5'11" large frame) as that was my "heavy" weight when I was doing Karate many moons ago (≈165-170 was my "light" weight, ≈10% BF (measured), yeah BMI didn't work for me then) but I had way more muscle mass so I'm going to revise my goal weight to 175 and then start a lifting program to get some muscle mass back. I figure 20 years later I'm allowed a little more padding

Thanks for this site, without it I would have never lost this weight. The tool and reading on the boards were what I needed.

Take care,

Berardino

That is fantastic!! I've been denying myself a much needed work clothes shopping trip b/c I don't want to spend the money although all my pants are too big. Keep up the good work!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Thanks all,

We're heading out on vacation for 2 weeks so it was definitely time to get some things that fit

Now I just need to keep up with my logging while traveling.

Thanks again,
