Small victory

When I was a young lad (many years ago now), I wore size 32 pants. When I hit 30. that went to a 34. At 40, it was 36. At 50, the 36s were getting tight enough that some of them could no longer be buttoned.

Sigh.

Recently, my office started a program where we could save $480 on our health insurance, and all I had to do was track my food and exercise intake for 8 weeks. I started about 6 weeks ago.

That was when I found this site. Since then, I have been actually thinking about what I eat and cutting out the fast food and doughnuts (ok ... maybe not ALL the doughnuts) to stay close to my weight loss calorie target for losing 1 pound per week.

Now my pants fit again, and they are actually almost too big ... to where I need a belt to keep them up. I just went to the next smaller hole in my belt.

I may have to start looking for size 34 pants again!

Thanks MFP!
