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.)

189.0

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.

I still have not exercised once. My goal weight is 190, I'm only 16 pounds away, and I imagine I could get there in another 4-5 weeks.

186, a new record low. Traveling a bit this week, so may be temporary...

[alexamenos]

179.8.

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
