Did you buy any new clothes at the sales Matt? If so, how many sizes smaller than a year ago?

I bought a sport coat and a shirt. A year ago I wore a size 42 pant size, XXXL shirt size, and 52 jacket size, now Its 32 for pants, M for shirts and 42 for suit jackets. I still wear a 10 wide for shoes though, I guess I just have wide feet regardless.
 
That's gotta feel pretty good. I bet it is also a good feeling when you run into someone who hasn't seen you in a while and them comment on your loss! Turn all that into motivation to finish this journey and then get a plan to maintain. By the way my 42s are getting a bit loose. I have some 4o's in my closet that I am probably gonna try on after about 5 more pounds are gone. I hope I can keep it up. The thought of getting some new threads is appealing. Thanks for the motivation.
 
I wear 10 1/2 and sometimes 11 wide shoes. I feel your pain. Almost all shoes I try on feel like they're crushing my clown feet.

Oh, wow! That's great! Well done Matt :D
If it makes you feel better, I also wear size 10W(yes, men's as most women's shoes are too narrow & uncomfortable) & I am a woman! I have always had big feet :blush5:

Still at 184. I would have liked to do more walking, but my dog cut it short. I think she was pissed at me b/c I was keeping her away from the bushes, wooded areas and grass more than usual b/c I saw a dead copperhead and didn't want her (or me) getting bit!

Yeah it does, I've been getting that more and more lately. Someone even asked if I had a twin! My next goal after this is going to be maintaining my weight. The last thing I want is to gain it all back.Good luck!

Yeah i guess there are some things that won't change. I probably will have to buy my dress shirts large and get them taken in b/c I still have a big neck and a big fat head!

Thanks! The funny thing is I just started wearing wide shoes in the last few years. I would buy the normal width and my feet would be in pain.

I had a headache today, so I skipped the weight training which I hated to do. We had over 100 degree weather today, in September also.
 
Ok you are doing great and your plan is obviously working so you may choose to reject this idea and that is totally cool but I notice from your food log that you heavily rely on prepackaged food. Given any thought to cooking a bit with fresh veggies or lean meats?

Yeah I get that a lot. I don't have the patience for cooking so I tend to go with TV dinners b/c they're quick and easy. Though every once and awhile I'll have a rotisserie chicken.

I hope I'm not coming down with something, I currently have a sore throat and nothing seems to be helping. I hope its just bad allergy attacks which can be bad when the temp starts to change ( it was over 100 last week now its 60-70) Other than that it was a productive day I FINALLY packed away some of my "fat clothes" and put them in storage and donated some. I also moved my books together to see what to throw out, what to keep and what to sell.

PS: I want to make a graph of my weight loss is there an app or site where I can do that?
 
If you have Excel 2016, it has a built in "Weight Loss Tracker" page where you can custom make your own weight loss chart and keep it saved on your computer. I'm not sure if it's available in older versions or not.
