Thank you, fellow fitness-want-to-be. I appreciate that. The vest was bought back when I weighed more so it doesn't fit so well.
Gradually my good fitting wardrobe is growing. For gardening and walking the dogs I'll wear almost anything. I'm not too concerned with accumulating cloths which I'll soon be too small for now. I'll always wear a size large shirt provided I don't blow up again. Part of the impetus for losing the weight was that I was popping buttons on some extra large shirts. The thought of shopping for xxlarge shirts was kind of scary.
A waist size of 38 has been good for quite a while (44 before losing the weight) but I do have a pair I bought new last year which is a little loose. My best guess is I'll wind up a 36 if I ever drop the final 12-13 pounds to get to my original goal of 175. Hell if that happens the 38's will become my gardening/dog walking pants.

Good for you Whatevs's! I find I look much better in clothes that either fit perfectly or are a little snug. Too big clothes make me look bigger and shapeless. I ordered some Industrial band shirts in size Large a week or so ago because the X-tra larges are starting to look like potato sacks. It would be cool to take that dual picture. Too bad we're on opposite ends of the US. I've got 23 pounds left and I'm currently maintaining in the hopes that soon my health gets better and I can recoup lean mass.

Got my new toy! After three seasons of putting it off I finally decided that it was time to break down and buy myself a riding mower. This is a Husqvarna YTA Twin 22HP Briggs and Stratton with a 46 inch cutting deck. I can tell you that this is much easier on my back than pushing around my 16 year old Toro 20 inch mower. I have a pretty good sized corner lot and over the last few seasons it's become harder and harder on me to push a mower, (a recurring issue with a herniated L5 disc). I tried a few other riding mowers, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Troy Bilt, but this Huqvarna was much more comfortable and seemed better built. It leaves a nice smooth cut, too. Anyway, I got a heck of a deal on this one....and of course, one of my hats to top it off.

That would be awesome! But you really think you could come all that way? I mean I think I could get as far West as Geneva. I think the cheap local transportation can get me there. Getting farther West than that depends on my financial situation.

I think my husband is confused about being a Catholic not an atheist cause he keeps asking if I want baby for dinner. When I said chicken was fine he asked "are you sure, she's already in the pot?" And sent me this. Lmao I swear this husband of mine...

You need a bigger pot.
But it is known that little kids do enjoy staying in buckets or similar stuff where they can be snug like in the womb.
