well, I suppose i should get this over with, I tried to find some from before i began my journey, but they're not the best pictures, also the one in the army get-up is me at about 200 lbs, or where i'd like to get to again, here goes.

this is my wife and I last christmas, around 255 lbs.


Me in February, about 240.


This is me today, I am still wearing clothes from when I was 250 lbs, lol, 218 lbs here.


This is when I was in Iraq, 195-200 lbs here, I would be happy with this again

Congrats on your weight loss. You are doing well so far. I dont know if this is true of you but when my husband got back from Iraq he put on a lot of weight. He was a lot bigger when I met than he is now. That didnt stop me from loving him though.

He has about 40 llbs to loose to get back to his "Iraq" weight also. I have photos of him when he was over there and I cant believe how slim he was. He slacked off PT when he came back and access to fast food plus giving up smoking didnt help the waistline.

The baggy pants photo reminds me of my hubby. He has the same look going for him at the moment. He doesnt want to buy new pants just yet since he wants to loose a few more inches, he has already spent a lot of money on new clothes every time they feel loose. I have lost count how many pants we have given to Goodwill.

Thankyou for your service to our country.

Buy new clothes! At least buy a few things, because you're still losing weight. You've come this far, you deserve to treat yourself to something. Wearing pants several sizes too big is a hassle, because the waist overlaps itself and has to be adjusted all day. Puffy, oversized baggy shirts can be an annoyance as well.

Having clothes that fit is such a great feeling! Try it!

I've bought a few new outfits, pretty happy I can fit into a 36 waist again, and even have a couple inches to move around in, but yea the mass overhaul of clothing i'm going to wait until i get to my goal weight, the difference between iraq and now, is i have much more muscle on me now than I did overseas, I think I got pretty strong from carrying all that fat around with me, and on this recent weight loss I've been able to keep the same muscle mass as I had when I was fat...losing fat and not muscle is a good thing.
