177 pounds today. I purchased the first clothes since before my weight loss. I actually fit in the large instead of XL shirt size. My waist went from 44 to 36. Amazing. However, I will no longer be able to jump in and pull off my pants without unzipping them. The oversized pants from the past allowed me to literally jump into them with at least five inches to spare. I still have this small roll of fat that peeks a bit over the waist of the pants. argh! Maybe weighing less than this may be a better idea. However, exersize may help diminish it.
