Went Shopping!

[John In Illinois]

Ok,

The other day I posted about how I had thrown away my "fat pants".

Kelsie also quickly pointed out the fact that mathematically, I needed to buy new ones! (OK, so women ARE smarter at math than men) :p

Well I went shopping today, and much to my extreme surprise and amazement............

I have dropped yet ANOTHER pants size!

This makes THREE sizes since starting the Challenge!

I can't relate just how good this makes me feel!

I have NEVER been someone who enjoyed even "looking" at clothes, but today I caught myself feeling happy as I looked around.


I have to say that the fact that I feel different even INSIDE, makes me appreciate the changes "outside" all the more.

:)

I am just glad that I was prodded into this, that person will FOREVER be someone I owe my life to.....and I am not exagerating the "life" part, because I truly think she has possibly "saved my life" from dying too early.

Thank You!

So not only has WISH helped create the new svelte John, but we have turned you into a "shopper" too? Oh my goodness, poke me in the eye, because I have NEVER met a man who likes to shop! Congrats, John!

Not to worry, all the money I am saving NOT going to fast-food places has added up fast!!

;)

[perfectmatch300]

That's a great way to budget for new clothes, John! :)

[TigH]

WOW JOHN!!!

That is amazing!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Hey, did I miss any photos of you in your new clothes? If so, point me to the right post! :) I am having a hard time catching up here with all these new posts in one week!

Keep up the great work, dude! You are such an inspiration. Your posts are always full of ENERGY! They get me really charged!!! :)

[nativetxn]

John you are such a success. I wish I could hug your neck right now. I'm just so proud of you.

Imagine dropping 3 sizes in what, two months? Amazing! What a motivation you are for me. You make me believe in myself and I do so appreciate that.

I want to see a photograph of you in your new clothes and I want to see it <i>now</i>. You hear me Mister? I'm waiting :teeth:

OK, I just got finished talking with my sister on the phone, and I mentioned the new clothes thingy. She informs me that I have not dropped 3 sizes.......she says it is SIX! ( I always thought of men's pants sizes as being an even-only size). To be more clear then, I guess it would be better if I said that I have gone down 6 inches in my waistline??

:confused:

[nativetxn]

Excellent, that's even better, John. Now...where's that photo?
