same shirt in aug and yesterday

[eriker37]

I am in the same shirt that I loved towards the end of last year. My face in the second one leaves something to be desired but it is the best picture of the shirt itself hanging on me. There you go. Down 75 odd pounds. 10 inches off waist and hips. That is what it looks like.

so exciting!
i have been following along with the math you've been posting, but nothing makes a more dramatic point than seeing the photos.

Thank you. These pics are dramatic and that is why I wanted to use that shirt. I looked at the pic in Aug after it was taken and got so sad. I loved that shirt and I looked way crappy in it.

No one ever told me. I know why they didn't but still.

I have to give the shirt away now.

Wow, that's awesome!

[eriker37]

Thank you very muchly.

Wow, you really can see it more with this kind of shirt. Your face looks amazingly different, too.

[eriker37]

Yeah. I loved this shirt. (pout)

The face is what people notice who see me regularly. The rest is kinda shrinking at the same pace so no one really realizes what it looks like til they see something like this.

That shirt needs some tweaking! wow!

Shirt (along with other things) are being donated to a charity that often says they need bigger sizes because no one really donates those. This and some of my work clothes might be really good for job interviews.

Holy crap. Your shoulders are so different. Congratulations. How the hell do you feel? (I've been AWOL, forgive me if you talked about that aspect recently...) You getting new clothes, or waiting a while?

I get clearance stuff when it is low low low. I lose about a pound a day and there is no real use in buying stuff at full price anymore....at least not for awhile.

I am still struggling with getting enough protien so I feel crappy sometimes but I am trying so hard and every little bit I can sneak in helps.
