Ok so I'm not new but hey couldn't see where else to post this, yes maybe I'm a thicko lol.

Ok so there's so many good things about losing weight but in your opinion what are the bad ?

For me it's having to by new clothes, I'm the kind of guy that hates clothes shopping but now I've gone down 2 jeans sizing it looks like a trip is on the cards, unless I want to feel cool and have my jeans hanging below my bum (not a nice image).

Anyways feel free to answer, friends request, moan etc etc

    My wife knows how much I hate shopping for clothes. I can put off shopping a little while longer because I still have "some day" clothes to work down through. When I get to 36" waist I'll have to face the racks again.
    My wife has thought of nominating me for "What Not To Wear" because my wardrobe it jeans, cargo pants, cargo shorts and polos. :bigsmile:
    But at least I am becoming willing to give up mumu shaped polos. They are starting to look like tents on me now and I finally noticed that as I lose weight that the XXL shorts actually hide the weight loss. When I wear shirts that fit properly my co-workers notice the loss.

    Have fun shopping.

    Sigh 'women'
    Well I think I can put it off a bit long, that's what a belt is for right ? My main aim was to go from XL shirts to L and that's what I am and jeans down from 36 to loose 32, but until I've got to where I want to be I'm sticking with the old timers and using all the belts in my possession :).

    Top work on the loss

    The bit I'm most excited about is buying all of the amazing clothes I'll look reasonable in when I'm a healthier weight. At the moment I literally just wear what fits, which is really rubbish. My biggest problem is that I really begrudge buying new clothes at each stage, I just want to have the clothes I fit in now and then buy the clothes I'll fit in at the end, not have to spend money in between. So yeah, stingy.

    I think a bad thing is once you get to your goal weight - because then you're on a maintaining diet.
    Nothing really yummy to eat, but not really really healthy. But you still have to constantly monitor your diet..

    I :heart: the shopping for new clothes. I have a dress hanging on my wall to wear once i've gotten to my goal weight :wink:
