88 pounds since May. A comment I oft hear is I am now 1/2 the man I was. More accurately but more cumbersome of a statement would be 2/3 the man I was. That in and of itself is a humorous deprecation of my progress. I have found quite a bit of humor in peoples reactions.The most perplexing contrast is those who comment what great shape I have attained .vs. those who wonder if I have a possibly life threatening illness. Quite the dissimilitude! Either healthy or deathlike by sheer observation!
I am below the 200 pound mark, which is still overweight by all the various algorithmic weight scales I have found.
My TOPS goal weight is a scant 4 pounds away. My mindset body weight is 185. Which is what I weighed when I was in the best shape I can recall. I am tempering my expectations with the reality that I just might not be able to maintain that slim.
I have purged my closet and I am starting to acquire a less rotund attire. Being a size M and tucking in a size XL just does not look good...

Well, all I can say is this...
You look a lot more like the man I met oh some 20+ years ago. We won't go into the individual years.
I am proud of both of you slimmers!
Oh and by the way, you weigh less than Carl now. WOOt!
I hope you are feeling as good as you look Bro!
From what I've heard, if you can maintain any particular weight for about a year, your body seems to reprogram itself to maintain that weight---little ups and downs, but tending towards that weight.
I have a lot of curiosity as to weight and metabolism. There are quite a few "justifications" for body weight that are simply illusions.
I have proven to myself that if you eat below your RMR you loose, above your RMR you gain.
You Steve, have maintained a level of body weight and fitness that has really aided in all your life endeavors.
