I am officially down 80 lbs and have shrunk even further to a 34 inch waist. I may have to move down from XL to L shirts soon.

I'm am soooo glad I had it done. Self-esteem is greatly improved.
Funny thing happened at church today. I hadn't been in a while, so I went to say hi to the pastor after the service and he kinda gave me this weird look, so I asked him if he recognized me. He said "Are you Jarrod?!?!" lol He was amazed and so happy for me. Everyone says I am looking great.
My favorite part still is being able to find "trendier" clothes that fit. I shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch for the first time earlier today and had no trouble finding things that fit and looked great.

That HAS to be one of the best feelings ever. You must be walking around with a big grin on your face everywhere you go. I'm really happy for you, it seems as if you definitely made the right decision.

Updated my burger scale thingie...
I am down to a 32 inch waist now! I am tired of buying new pants, so hopefully it won't shrink much more. I am more than happy at 32 inches.

Amazing!!!! I bet you're having to spend a lot of $$$ on clothes. Do you have a goal for your waist size?
