Given the beautiful weather we have been having here in Minnesota (it snowed this weekend), I decided to take on cleaning out my closet this weekend!  Lots of stuff that did not fit any  more!

I finally got to the section that had the suits I used to wear to work every day.  By used to I mean last August - not that long ago.  Just for giggle I put one one.  It was CRAZY big.  The suits were all 54L with pants that were 48"-50"..........  it felt like I could have put another whole person in the with me....gievn how much I have lost, that is probably true!

Since I wear suits to work everyday, I also needed to buy some new ones this weekend.  I figure I am getting cloe to my 'final' weight and any additional weight loss I have (which there will be) will be in the range of being able to tailor them from here on out.    Jos. A Banks was having one of their regular Buy 1, Get 2 Free sales (of course the 1 is WAY over priced, but still a good deal for 3 suits).  My new size........44L, waist 34"-36".........

I also bought some new shirts.  Used to wear 18 1/2", I just bought 3 new 16" slim/fitted shirts and they fit great!

Needless to say there is little left in my closet.  I am going to make some donation drop off location very happy!

Cheers!  and as always, thanks for the awesome very day support!

Congratulations!  I bet that felt so good.  I look forward to doing a little closet cleaning of my own soon.

You need to post some pics of yourself in the new suits!

This is fantastic news....I can't WEIGHT till I do that too...My goal is to loose enough so that I can wear the same clothes as my other half. Then whenever I wear something he doesnt like on me I will just go to his side of the closet, he wont be able to complain about that...

Hehehehe..

Way to go!!! Your loss is amazing and the stats are great.

We're seem to be very similar in sizes. I just went from a 58XL suit to a 44XL. I never thought I'd see that size again.

High Weight = 310     Surgery Weight = 300   Dr's Goal = 200   My Goal = 190
