Well, on the NSV front, I put on some hand-me-down size 40 waistband jeans today, and I was stunned to find out that they fit. Now, they're a little long for me (I'm only 6'1 and the guy these were from was 6'3) so I'll probably have to hem them, but I'm just tickled pink that they FIT. Four months ago, I was wearing size 48 waistband.
Also my weight was down to 264.9 today; creeping down towards the 250's.
A month or so ago, visiting the nutritionist, I was "joking" that I'd like to break 250 by the end of September. I may not quite hit that goal, but I'll probably be in the 250's, which is something I can't say in recent memory! Also I was thinking that I might be wearing jeans under a 40-inch waistband by the end of the year; at this rate, I should be firmly in 38's (if not 36's!) by the end of fall!
What kills me is that for NORMAL men, 250 pounds and 40-inch jeans are still horrifically huge, but I have to keep reminding myself that it's not a competition.
Edit: ah, I see that I've also cracked the 35 BMI barrier. Another first (in adult memory)!
