"DOWN TO" a fifty inch waist!
People outside of our community may be a bit shocked. "He says he's 'down to' a fifty inch waist? He's proud of that?" Yes I am. Because when I began this journey... I was wearing slacks with a 72 inch waist. And those were getting tight. I was wearing a 9XL shirt. Today, I put on a 2X shirt. And it fit!
I'm grateful for all the information from you on this board. Especially for the idea of shopping for clothes at a thrift store
I bought two shirts, and two pairs of blue jeans for just six bucks. And they fit!

Congratulations on the excellent start on your journey. You've got a ways to go and it's going to be satisfying and gratifying every step of the way. I remember being excited as hell to get on here a couple of years ago and give away my first round of clothes. I never have bought much new stuff cause I had full wardrobes left over from the way up. Just had to go up in the attic and find the right boxes and get them down and wash and iron them up.
I started out at 56. Have been at 40 to 42 for about a year now. I know I'm starting to make some progress mentally though because I'm starting to feel "fat" because I'm in 40's and anxious to get in to some 38's or 36's. For a year now I've felt normal when I was in 42'a and skinny as hell when in 40's. I can tell that my brain is finally catching up to my body. I plan to be in 36's by April or May.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
congrats...almost 2 feet off your waist....you should be proud! that's also about what i took off....from a 6xl to medium or large shirt.
