For the big guys. Over 6' and 400 lbs.

liveonlocation

Hey guys I'm really excited at all the great success stories on here and can't wait to add my own.

My question is for all the BIG guys on here.

What are/were your stats

Height - 6'5
Start weight - 456
Current - 410
TShirt size before 4/5xlt
After/during - 4xlt (almost a 3xlt, instead of mostly 5xlt)
Jean before - 52-32
After/during - 48-32

Thanks for indulging me.

We should really start a clothes "trading" selling network. Casual Male & Mr. Big & Tall get expensive during this whole losing phase.

Cheers

I sold a lot of clothes a couple of weeks ago on Ebay I know how much i have spent at Big and Tall over the years. I should have a platinum customer appreciation card or something from them.

_Bob_

Height - 6'
Start weight - around 400
Current - 342
TShirt size before 3-4xl
After/during - 3xl and a few 2xl I need them long because of my long upper body (cave man build)
Jean before - 48-30
After/during - 42-30

the only other thing I measured was my Biceps to make sure I didn't loose muscle mass this time
before 17 in
now 19.5 in

I've been relying on belts a lot for pants, that and I saved a lot of my cloths from when I was smaller and some of them are starting to fit again.

Not me but my boyfriend is 6ft 3 and at his heaviest was 400lbs he's now 351 and has achieved that in just over 3 months!

He's gone from a 4xl to a 3 XL he's got massive shoulders and needs the big shirts for his arms, chest and back.

He's gone from a 56inch waist to a 48inch waist too! I'm very proud of him

So I'm behind you guys! Keep it up!

I should've added that my goal right now is to get down to 299 and then readdress the situation. Thanks for the replies so far. Keep it up.

I'm a big guy as well and I totally understand where you guys are coming from. I hate shopping for clothes, though now it seems easier with a lot of retailers offering more variety online. Not cheap though.

Pants before (don't wear jeans): Waist 54
Pants current: Waist ?? (unsure but I've put 3 new holes in my belt, guessing around 50)

This is awesome guys. I can't wait to get to a 2xlt and possibly buy clothes in a normal store. In Canada even the big guy stores only carry most tall shirt up to a 3xlt. So I've had to order or shop in the US when I'm down there. Up here after 3xlt there aren't many 4xlt or 5xlt's so I'm left with belly shirts.

This, along with trying to fit more comfortably on a plane are a couple of my biggest motivators. My kids of course are the biggest reason!

I just wish there were more big sizes in the Thrift stores so I could buy more while I was loosing weight. But pretty soon I'll be able to get some from the Winners store ( think Kohls or Burlington ) for Canada.

Once a again way to go guys.

I flew overseas last month, the first time for a plane ride since losing 130#. No extender, even had some extra to spare. Was actually comfortable, for the most part, the entire 9 hour flight.

If nothing else motivates that sure as heck did.

I actually planning another vacation just because that stoked me so much...This time is a beach vaca.

trying to fit more comfortably on a plane

HA! Nice to see I am not the only one using this as motivation. Last July I had to fly from Seattle to Dallas and I felt terrible for the folks that had to sit next to me. It was a smaller plane and it was embarrassing. I thought they might ask me to stand in the middle aisle until after take off just to be sure the plane was balanced correctly. I started the journey to get myself back in shape the very next day.
