Thankfully, I've been able to notice my weight loss by the fact that any of the clothes I've bought in the last eight years are too big for me now. I've had to buy new belts, pants, shirts, a smaller size of coats -- everything but socks. Hell, I'm going to have to buy smaller undershirts to get that snug fit again.

My wife and I went to a Casual Male XL store to see about getting something for her brother, and I couldn't believe that I was too small for everything they had there. That wouldn't have been possible just two years ago.
