Good for you Xman. I know what it's like, dropping 6-8 inches in waist size 6 or 7 years ago. Since then I have maintained the lower weight, and do hope someday to press on downwards again. I'd love to lose another 6" in waste size, but it is NOT easy!

Worrying about clothing cost is not a good thing. Bottom line for a lot of heavy dudes is you'll stay alive longer with less weight, and have a lot better time. Buy a new wardrobe.
