New FART re: clothing sizes....wooHoo!

Hey lads... Another FART....boy I never get tired of them!!! Where I live in a small town, they're building a huge Power Center about 4 miles away. So I went down to the clothing store there -- Marks -- which carries great menswear, and tried on a pair of 38" cords -- my gosh -- they FIT!  Haven't worn cords in 20 years and that size since high school...woooooooooooHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I used to be a 60" guy...now I'm a 38" waisted guy....man that feels good, eh? Oh, and my shirt size is also now just a large....no more X's in front of that L! Did I ever miss out on life  before my WLS....gosh I'm happy....hope the rest of the lads here in the Locker Room feel just like me too.... FARTS....let's keep 'em coming! Jim

You weight loss devil dawg you.  Congrads on the 38s. I am still fighting to get there.  Stuck at 40 but know the rejoicing feeling and am glad for you.  I also noticed your posting autgraph of being below goal.  If you are healthy, and its sounds like you are,....theres another "atta-boy"! Seems like we are starting a fartaeous Friday here and what a great way to head into a weekend.

Great news and thanks for sharing.  I can see you smiling through your words.  What a great start to the weekend!! Brian

Good FARTing, my man. You've got me excited (no! not that way!). I used to be a 60 also and still in 40-42s, so I'm looking forward to 38s myself. Whoo, whoo!

Hey Jim, The 38 fart is a good one!  Our clothes size are a major measure of success for us men. I started a little lower than some of you guys, it was still too big though. I'm 6'3" tall, weighed in at 352 at my highest. My highest size was 46W, and they were tight. My shirt size was 3XLT, and the shirts were tight as well. My pants size dropped to 40 fairly quickly, but my shirt size was much slower. Currently, I wear size 34/32. I really should be wearing 34/34 because the 34/32s are a little short. I never thought my waist would ever be the same as my length. I frequently hold up the pants in disbelief that my ASS will fit into them. My shirt size is LT. I can wear a regular Large, but my upper body is tall and the LargeTall shirts hang down below my waist a little more. The regular large show belly if I raise my arms up. Trust me, nobody wants to see that.  Enjoy the 38s, Jim! Ronnie

Okay guys, I am new to this side of the forum.  What is FART an acronym for?

I am in the same boat with you Ronnie. I am hovering on going to the 38's. I am wearing an xlt shirts just because I haven't broke down and bought any new ones lately. But I was in Walmart one day and noticed that the large jackets were fitting so I will have to try a lg shirt to see if I am there. I will still need to buy a tall shirt though as would be showing the belly also. Started at 389 and I am hovering at the 240's. Got to kick myself back into gear. That  darn elliptical at work bought killed me earlier tonight.
