male only The huge chasm between XXL and XL...

[smoothazz 72]

I was pushing the limits of XXL size shirts when I started this. Now those shirts are huge on me. The crazy thing is that most XL size shirts are like skin tight on me, showing off what gut and moobs I have left. Is it just me or is the difference between XXL and XL just crazy?

I've experienced this issue as well.

I used to go XXL, or 2x BIG on shirts......

NOW I am wearing mediums comfortably, and can sometimes fit in smalls...but mediums are more comfortable.

Just Wait and you'll see for yourself!

I also used to wear 46" waist pants, elastic waist band only....now I can wear ANYTHING in a 33"

I love my Lap Band !!!!

I think another element is many shirts right now have an "atheletic" or "slim" cut that makes them tighter through the torso. I've found some XL shirts that work, but they're rare. I hope a couple more months will solve the issue for me.

I am in a similar situation only I am between the 3XLT and the 2XLT lol. It sucks.

Time will soon cure that problem as your shirts will magically become better fitting, then you will encounter the next issue which will be going from an XL to an L.... I consider these good things! keep up the great work!

Maybe look for ones that aren't cut for guys with a "V" shaped torso or are meant to be form fitting.

There are plenty of shirts that fit nice and are young and stylish without having it look like you are wearing your Grandfather's shirt (unless dear old Grandpa is stylin').

I started 4x Easter was 2X and now 1X Next will be XL Did you skip a size?

Best thing -- buying in regular stores and outlets. Way cheaper plus larger selection.

Guys, Only four weeks out and I can so relate to this. I was XXXL and am now once again wearing XXL. Even the XXL's are starting to feel loose. Girlfriend is jealous that I lost my fat ass faster than her. It seems guys lose that area faster than women do. Some women I know don't seem to budge in that area. So far my man-boobs have been cooperating and are now down to a size that seems they are no longer in business for themselves. It is nice knowing that I will soon not be paying extra at Target or Walmart for the larger sizes.

Drives me nuts... Sizes are really all over the place and I like mine loose... At least until I get surgery
