10 Month Progress

Aug 11, 2012

186 down.  That is hard to sink in.  It was a great month.  People are now starting to see me as "normal fat" so my goal of blending in is almost complete.  I'm now wearing a size 40 pants, size 46 sport coat (still portly but that is my normal at this point), medium stretchy shirts for the most part although some larges also still fit me.  Button up shirts are xl or some larges.  That is  consistent with the portly size in sport coat but I think my stomach is really coming in place now.  I can't imagine how it would be without the extra skin.

I now fit into my dive suit.  My last logged dive was in 1992 although I had a few up to about 1996 all of which were quite uncomfortable but in tropical water so I didn't need a wet suit.  I just got my gear recertified and I'm gearing up to take a scuba refresher.  I'm going to try to get a few dives in during September and we may go to Turks and Caicos this winter.  Scuba was high high high on my goals list so I'm really psyched.

The journey continues underwater!
