Losing in lower body

#1

Just curious. I am down 50lbs and am 6’3 and 265. When I started I wore 52-54 pant and 3xl shirts . My pants are now 42-44( depend on brand but my shirts are still 2x or 2xlt. I was hoping my shirts would be XL by 50 lbs. how is everyone else loosing

Tim, well done! 50 lbs is fantastic progress. However belly fat is often the last thing to budge. Unfortunately there is no way to target fat loss, it’s going to happen where you’re body wants. I am almost at goal weight and the belly roll and the man boobs are still slow to leave. But they will go eventually by sticking with it. Anyway I have dropped from XL to L fitting comfortably now. My old XL shirts are a bit tent like. You’re going to love passing those clothes on to the goodwill or something very soon I think. Just remember that you’re moving in the right direction and “Time is on your side” as the Rolling Stones song says. :cowboy_hat_face:

Thanks, I know I can’t spot reduce but nicer looking clothes and cheaper price when you are a large or extra large

Its true about feeling good passing clothes on.
I have started to share clothes I can’t wear any longer with the staff in my mother’s nursing home to give to those whose relatives arent supplying them with clothes.
I get a kick out of seeing previously dowdy and down neglected old ladies in wheel chairs ripping round the corridors wearing my brightly coloured clothes … they seem to have a great lift in their mood.
