Today I achieved a milestone

[tularetom]

I bought a pair of jeans with an inseam greater than the waist measurement - 36 waist, 38 inseam.

OK maybe that doesn't sound like such a BFD but it's the first time I could say that in probably 30 years. In late August I was wearing 42's. I've dropped 38 lbs since then from 251 to 213.

I only post this because after I told my wife she said, "Now that you've told me are you going to tell somebody that gives a shit?"

2. Good for you

I within the last year went from waist size 36 from 42. I however doubt my waist will ever be less than my inseam again. My inseam should be 28

6. She's just jealous

We have the exact same diet, neither of us drinks more than 2 glasses of wine a day,but I do an hour on a stationary bike thingy every morning. While she's still zonked out I might add.

She does walk a couple of miles 4 or 5 times a week with the neighbor lady but I think it's harder for women to lose weight anyway. We"re both 68, and I was flat ORDERED by the doctor to lose weight (and lower my blood pressure) and frankly it scared the shit out of me.

I gained a lot of weight after I tore my achilles tendon in 2006 and had to sit on my ass for 8 months.
