I don't know how far spread they are, but the Family Dollar store sometimes has really good clothes that are pretty inexpensive. We went to the zoo last weekend and I wanted something bright and summery. I went to the DS and found a pair of white capris and a hot pink/orange baby doll shirt. I don't normally wear things like that top (arm issues and all) but it was so cute I couldn't resist. Anyway, whole outfit was less than $15.

there is no chance I would look good in white capris and a hot pink baby doll shirt though...
I would need more variety.

I went to goodwill last week and I saw so many pants in my old size and none in my new size. How unfair is that? It used to be the other way around.

'Twas an example, Muirnin. They have manly stuff, too.

*imagining Brian in pink and orange baby doll shirt . . . hehe*

Been there, my friend! Old Navy clearance racks are a great place to pick up good polo type shirts and last season's pants for very little. I picked up jeans, cargo pants, t shirts and polos for between $4 and $10. It's a great stop-gap until you want to buy some higher quality or designer stuff.

BTW... great job! Keep it up!

It doesn't matter what size I am there is always stuff in my most recent size and not the size I am now...

So aggravating...

really making me want to go there!
such wonderful testimonials.
I may need to baby doll top and capris if i do not fit into anything else!

You already know what I have to say about that: Pics! Pics!!

*blows dust off thread*

Ok.
Picture of myself today.
Birthday picture- not in birthday suit though...

I know these shirts are too big... but they are practically new and I need to wear them..
Be nice.

Damn dude, you are looking damn solid. Great stuff...

Happy Birthday!

Brian, to be perfectly candid, this picture is your best yet. The weight loss really shows in your face. You've lost so much of the neck fat that makes you look older then you are. The before pics I would have guessed that you were around 40. Well, maybe not THAT old, but pushing it. This one today I'd guess thirty. It's been said before, but Way to go, man.

Thanks Keith. Not sure if you wade through the fluff and read my diary at all but there is some wierd shit happening to my body right now. Everything is happening all at once and huge changes have occurred in the last 2-3 weeks.
It is a great thing but wierd as hell all the same.

I honestly look better than I ever have in my life.

Thanks Trops.
40??? oh crap.

I honestly can say I am happy with how I look today.

Now you have to get the frosted highlights to match your buff bod.

I have been "tracking", sometimes it is hard to read diary threads because there's a lot of catching up and hit and run posts in most... however, I did read all about the fact that you are finally "seeing" the changes most people have seen 20 lbs ago.

Get used to having to buy new clothes several times as well... it sucks and I personally have spent probably close to about 2,000 over the past year and a half on a new wardrobe six to seven times now. It does blow, but it could be worse, you could still be fat
