Well, yet another mile stone. I took all of my fat guy clothes to the Goodwill the other day. My closet and dresser are almost empty. I had to buy some in-between clothes while I was there. So now I have no choice but to keep losing weight or my better half will skin me alive for wasting money.
Weighed in at 204 today just under 2 week before the final weigh-in for the bet. Im soooooo close, but so is he. I need to drop all four pounds this week :? We will see.

Way to go, man. I'm about to have to do the same thing. I have two pairs of jeans that even close to fit right now. The others just fall off my ass as I walk. When I hit 200 I'm going to be hitting the mall for some newer stuff. It's tough though as I know I'm going to peel off at least another 30 lbs and I'm just going to have to do it again. I'm thinking it's going to be bargain hunting. I don't want to spend too much on clothes that I plan on being able to wear for a few months.

That's all I do anymore...I buy clearance things b/c I just can't stand spending decent money to have to get rid of something in a few months...I learned that lesson the hard way - I got two suits that were 69/each and they didn't fit me w/in 4 weeks. I think I wore them once.
Talk about pissed.
That was the last regular priced item I bought. Ross isn't bad for cheap things either...I got two suits there that were 14 and 21 dollars.

You have no idea what that means to me
Seriosuly, thank you so much...I can totally believe you beat him, but I understand where you are coming from, I get that feeling when I look at my befores or whenI pull on some new piece of clothing that is 10 sizes smaller than I used to be.
Now all you have to do is beat yourself, no easy task, but I KNOW you can do it
