Bought velcro strapped shoes so I didn't have to mess around during the "security" checks...still have them, I prefer boots.....the down side to being able to just bend over and tie the laces is that my glasses tend to fall off!
You can breath out now.. none of us are looking.

- January 28, 2015, 18:11:35 PMIt took over a year, and the change was so gradual I didn't really notice it much until I saw that picture!. Yes, new clothes...I have a really nice 3 season armored jacket with a liner that is now WAY TOO BIG..........I don't know if I really feel all that better, but I can now reach down and tie my boots without having to put my foot up on a chair....

I can lose about 10-15 pounds, but after a couple of months it finds me again

Well, at least you have one of those "one size fits all" belts - just keep cinching it up a notch or two, and tucking in the end!! I'm guessing you had to buy all new pants, though!

- January 28, 2015, 14:13:45 PMI'm showing off! Dave Hinton posted some pictures from the 2013 Drift-in, and one of them had me in it....I didn't know he took my picture, and now I'm even more sure I did the right thing by losing 100 lbs.....I can't believe I used to look like this and didn't think anything of it!!! Needless to say, the current version is on the left....172 lbs this morning....
