NO More Wal-Mart Clothes For Me
Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by Jay in Challenge +
About six months ago I went to a nice clothing store which had all the clothes I wanted to wear but NOTHING that would fit me. The clothes were great, and they were cheap and I couldn’t get anything. I think that’s when it hit me that in order for me to get away from the fat clothes store (Wal-Mart) and get the clothes I wanted.. I would have to lose weight. It has been a HUGE motivator for me.. and finally today I was able to easily get several shirts that ALL fit me. It might not be a big thing for the average person.. but for me, it truly made my day. 
I moved from 3XL shirts, to 2XL and XL shirts. And I went from a 46 inch waist to a 42 inch waist and shrinking. I’m so happy that I can shop at other places other then Wal-Mart you guys have no idea. It’s the first time in over 10 years!
Thought I would share that.

Welcome to JayLoss.com! I’m Jay!
I'm Jay and I've come a long way from my peak weight of 336 pounds!
I've documented my weight loss from 268 pounds all the way down to 170-ish pounds in this blog. It took just under a year to do and since reaching my goal weight, I decided to maintain 180 pounds. Now I'm focusing on building muscle and maintaining a healthy body fat percentage.
Of course there have been a lot of ups and downs in losing so much weight. The process of setting goals and reaching them is very exciting. Just having something to strive for and using this blog as pressure to keep me going did wonders.
Stick around, give me your feedback and maybe start your own weight loss journey. -Jay

I remember that feeling. I’m down from size 48 to size 34 pants at present. And size 4xl to l for shirts. And it feels goooood!

Congrats man! I never thought of Walmart being a place for fat clothes. Hmm. Makes sense. I just remember 42/44 always being hard to find. Guess I was looking around in Kohls. I like that place. Especially now that more of their stuff fits. Went from 44 to 36. I went for a long time before buying new clothes. Everything was extra baggy for so long. It’s exciting to be wearing fitting stuff. Got many comments. I think that’s good.
Best

I don’t like walking around with super baggy clothes so I have been buying new clothes it seems every few weeks and I’m loving it.
I was planning on going shopping for more clothes later today.. but I should probably hold off a few weeks. I have more weight to lose. :p
And yes, Wal-Mart caters to larger people. Which is fine.. but I’m tired of the limited selections. I want style.. and not bulk crap anymore.
