2 things....

1) Last call for anyone who wants, free, my larger and transitional sports coats and whatnot.  It goes to charity this weekend.

I verified I'm now in 34w x 34l slacks, and 44Regular jacket (prefer athletic or slim cut... believe it or not)

2)  Still at 182 pounds.  I've added a lot of calories back into my diet and am not interested in losing more weight.  If I happen to lose more, fine, but my goal now is to tighten everything up.  That puts me at 89 pounds lost since 2006, 59 of those since Easter 2009.  I'm down from size 40 pants to size 34 pants.

Here's a pic I'm proud of.... I'm down 8 belt holes since mid 2008.  I started in the hole my thumb is next to, with my belly hanging over the belt, and now I am where you see.  You can tell from the wear marks when I stalled out a while - - like the one 3 holes ago... that was my year-plus that I hovered around 200.

I hope this is inspirational to you guys that have come a lot farther, and have more to go.  Mongo and Jim have both been enormous inspirations to me the last couple of years.  I could not have stayed on the wagon and worked this hard for this long without great guys like you showing me the way.
