I think this is the right track. Just a matter of trading one habit for another, hopefully better, habit.
I'm thinking of giving up scotch for a meth habit....hear that does wonders for weight loss.
(for now I've switched to a cup of decaf green tea now and then....kinda gay, I know, but that glass of scotch in the evening was my way of getting into a 'day is over, time to relax' mode.)

179.... i now wear size small in shirts
on a sadder note, finally broke down and sold all my XL mavs championship shirts on ebay for about 60 bucks. I paid over 200 for them when they won.... oh well. You can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.

Oh god. So many shirts. So little fit. My DirkSwish shirt... no chance in hell.
Interesting that you wear a small. I wear a medium that, depending on the material, can either fit great or be a little unflattering (the cotton/poly blend shirts show off my still-existent manboobs).

still on 189.
I wear jeans to work 99.9% of the time, and for now my once uncomfortably snug jeans require a bit of belt-tightening. I'm now down to the second-to-last notch on my second belt.
I'm quite concerned about the status of my dress clothes, including my one and only nice suit. I know if I hit my ultimate goal of 180 that'll I will have some considerable dress clothes issues.

I moved apartments this weekend, and for some reason took my blazer with me. I can't imagine how much that thing would swallow me.
Now, there is just about zero occasion on which I would wear dress clothes anymore. I wear jeans and t-shirts to work, and own a bazillion plaid button-down shirts if a t-shirt isn't acceptable. Maybe I'll go to Goodwill, though, and pick up something just in case.
Oh, I was 154.0 this morning.

Well, I still wear medium in some brands that fit a little smaller. Also my shoulders are too broad for some smalls. But still, that's down from XL... I'll take it.

Feels good man.

First time I've weighed in under 180 in this millennium.

Alright, my sister's wedding is in December. I want to be in shape by then. I'm about 10 pounds from where I want to be. I'm at 161, want to be at 151. A pound a week is the goal. Here we go.

I haven't posted in this thread in over 3 years and in that time I slowly managed to work my way back up to 195 pounds. Started going to the gym a couple weeks ago for the first time and going to try to get back down in the 180s the hard way, maybe gain some muscle
