2lbs. down congratulations! Happy Friday to you too. 

Thanks guys and gals. And to think that I had just bought some size 38 jeans before I went on the diet. I'm happy about this but I didn't really think my waist would go down past 32 so I went out and spent almost $200 on size 32 jeans that are all slowing becoming too big. I guess I could have worse problems! LOL  

Brent, you have oficially surpassed me! Size 32s fit me, but they definitely aren't loose! Good for you Buddy! 

That is a nice problem to have. You are motivating me to get into my size 8's. So what are you going to do with all your 32's? After a while may need some alterations.  

@Chica - I am going to hope that I can still wear them a little loose. I plan to start bulking up in a few months so that should help them fit again. They are Cinch brand jeans, which are about 80-90 bucks a pair. I got them on sale for 65 each but thats still a lot of money for jeans if I dont wear them!!! Saggy jeans are in style, right? LOL  

How tall are you Chad? I'm 5'9" or 5'10" depending on who you ask.  

Same height. 

And what I like more, even though I'm still losing weight, I am starting get comments about how "ripped" or "big" my arms look. Love it!!! Of course there are still the people who knew me when I was at 216lbs, who I haven’t seen in a while. Most of them tell me that I don’t need to lose any more weight. They don’t know Jack! 10% body fat here I come. The people I see frequently all tell me that I am doing/looking great.  

I think that's the only "problem" with the weight loss journey - wanting to buy new clothes along the way to stay motivated and look good, only to outgrow them. If you end up deciding they are too big (even after you bulk up some), check your city/town for places who will pay you money for some of those almost new clothes. If there isn't any, give them to goodwill. Don't keep around as backups as you're not ever going back there - too easy to do if you have those bigger clothes in your closet. However, if you stick with the baggy look, just keep them pulled up as I'm hoping the showing your underwear (full butt) is going out of style! Way to go, Brent!! Fabulous job!!!  

Yep, those nice and pricey pants are going to have fit no matter what. Don't forget suspenders that would be a fun look. Just make certain you post a picture of that, lol.
