Nope you're hot. I'd chase you around the house! I also had a pair of new shirts delivered at work, they're 3XL, they fit and will stay tucked in. I was wearing 5&6XL shirts.

SO another NSV a few days ago. I looked at my profile in the mirror and I liked what I saw. I actually looked a few more times. I'm still a big dude and have a belly but I was not embarrassed or horrified by what I saw. It made me smile!

Another boot story. My feet have shrunk quite a bit. I've had a **** of a time finding something to fit. I ordered a pair of 12XW boots a few weeks ago and they were HUGE. I am now wearing the same style in 11W and they feel great. For years I have not been able to find insulated and waterproof boots to fit my feet. Well I'm wearing a pair now and it feels awesome.

Jake awesome news wearing XL shirts, that's freaking awesome. I need to order more uniform shirts. The two 3XL I spoke of a few days ago are polo shirts, my regular shirts are still 5XL and even with them tucked in they're huge. I am still kinda in shock that the 3's fit and stay tucked in!

WUV face it baby! We are right. You're, Hot, Hot, Hot! Better hope I don't catch you. =)

Well, I have to remind myself to actually have it. I get so used to eating the right way that on that day I feel like I'm doing something wrong. LOL

My partner started IP a few weeks ago. He started working on his weight, on his own, back in Feb at around 235. He got on IP about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday he was 200.8 and this morning he is at 200.4. He started to get upset but I told him, dude, it's still a loss!!! I can SO remember when the scale seemed to be in the twilight zone.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.

Best of luck to him. Mine has been working to gain weight. Such a tough problem to have... lol. I am now back to the weight when we met 6 years ago. This time next month I will be the smallest he's ever seen.

I can almost (uncomfortably) button his size 34 jeans. In a couple more months, my wardrobe is going to double

I finally gave Crossfit a try. It is an awesome workout but I am going to hold off until I reach my goal before I continue with it. I burned waaaay too many calories for what I consume. I expect it will have a negative impact on my results for a few days.

My coach was recommending it to me, said it was just a 15min workout but this class ran for over an hour, lol.

Hey Nobster, be careful not to hurt yourself by over-doing the work outs. Like you said, not many calories to work on...I am waiting till goal before I hit the exercise hard. Right now just doing lots of walking and working a little on my arms with 20lb curls etc...I mean H*ll, it takes all my energy just to do THAT, can't imagine a full hour workout on top of regular daily work (job) and all on the little calories we get.
As they say: "Rome wasn't built in a day"...and I remind myself of that all the time. Slow is GOOD...helps the skin adjust to our newer smaller sizes etc...
Make it safe!
Jake

I've been working to perfect a holiday chocolate-peppermint cookie with the drink mix to bring down with me for desert when everyone starts cutting into their pies.
