Gievn the beautiful weather we have been having here in Minnesota, 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!

Congrats on your continued success!
Maybe you should send some drop off loaners to Belle Plaine.

Awesome feeling isn't it?  I had a similar dilemma a few weeks back when I was heading to a Bat Mitzvah and couldn't find a sports jacket that didn't look obscene on me.   Got lucky while cleaning out my closets the week before and found an old (10+ years) sports jacket that I hadn't seen since that long and it fit perfectly.  Took it to the dry cleaners and had a nice jacket for the event.  Keep up the great work!!
