Hey Hans,

You're actually doing very well, so enjoy it and give yourself a break by trying not to compare your progress to other guys. I know that's not easy, but we're all different ages, body composition, etc.

I bet there was a time not too long ago when wearing size 50 pants would have been a dream!

Congrats!

Doug

Hay Doug, you are exactly right. size 50 was to far to see. Now I know that I can do it and I can see sizes down the road. Maybe a 40 before Christmas.

Welcome to The Thrift Store life! Pretty soon you'll be able to find your clothes for $1.50, and not care when you under grow it.

You're right about the thrift stores Jacob, I went from a size 58/60 last summer to a size 38/40 today. I bought a bunch of (like 6 pairs) like new cargo shorts and stuff at a thrift shop at the beginning of the summer and it only cost me like $16. And most of them are baggy on me now and I have to use a belt. Gotta start going in there and hunting for some pants for winter. Jeans are easy though, even if you can't find any good used ones, you can get a decent pair of new jeans at Walmart for like $15.

Speaking of which, I have a whole bunch of very big winter jackets to donate this winter. A couple of guys at work are big still and they may get a couple, but the others will go to the homeless shelter or to the clothes closet at group.

Hey, I think I've got some pants (36s and 38s) around. You'll be in those in no time. I'll take a look. They might be too short for you. I think they're 32 or 30 length. You're welcome to them, though. Lemme know.
