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

liveonlocation · March 2012

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_ · March 2012

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.

Here we go...

NOTE: I am not one who buys a lot of new clothes. I pretty much tuck, cinch, roll, whatever to get old clothes to fit. At least until it looks ridiculous or some package arrives via UPS that my wife ordered cuz she got tired of looking at me tucked, cinched, rolled, whatevered. LOL

Height: 6'7"
Age: 43
Start: 502
Current 448
T-shirt size before: 7XLT
Current T-shirt size: no idea but I know they fit better and I can tuck them in. some are even big.
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.

Oh, I cant wait till I am no longer the fat guy on an airplane. Not only is it so uncomfortable, but people literally hate you and pray their seat is not next to yours. I dont blame them really.
