OK, I have been here for over a month, and have lost 20lbs so far and lost several inches around my waist.
In the picture that is my ID pic, i weighed 208lbs, my lowest wieght ever as an adult, 8 weeks before that pic i weighed 242 when i went in the Army and wore 38-40 inch jeans. So today, my wife and I go to Wal-mart and just for giggles, i grabbed a pair of 40's and 38's, went to the fitting rooms and tried on the 40's, they were baggy in the rump section but felt good and comfortable. Then came the 38's, Im thinking that they wont fit, to tight, wont be able to snap the button....Well guess what?????? The 38's fit perfectly and showed off all the assests to a "T". My wife said that I actually had a butt with them on and that i looked good.

It felt so good that after 18 years of only wishing to get back to that size and then actually doing it and then it happens, there is no words that could express my elation today...i could have just screamed and jumped for joy right there in the fitting room, but i did manage to contain myself, now for the rest of the night, im all smiles...thanks all for letting me say all of this.

    Awesome story and similar to my own. I started out at 240 pounds and size 42 jeans and a little over a year later I am down to 200 pounds and size 36 jeans! Thanks for sharing!
