bill_schubertI actually have. From where I started long ago I've lost 28 pounds. Where I started with GLP1 I've lost about 9.
My clothing consists of shorts and t-shirts. I've got a couple of pairs of long pants that have small paint splatters on them, hardly noticable, that I wear when I need something long.
I NEVER dress up beyond that. But I did find a pair of nice slacks, part of a funeral suit, and paired it with a new sports coat and I'll look nice.
But I needed a couple of pairs of decent pants to wear. It is going to be cold and I think maybe a couple of days of long pants won't kill me.
Except the first four I tried are too big. I could get away with suspenders but they are really big. Two inches too big in the waist. Dangerously close to falling down like a clown suit.
I've got two pairs of pants that should work OK. Even with them I'll likely wear suspenders rather than a belt just to be sure.
But I won't be able to wear them again since I'm losing another 10 or 15 pounds.
So next stop might be Goodwill. But not today.
Fortunately I've got an always serviceable blue oxford cloth button down that is good with everything anytime, anywhere.
The hotel has a same day cleaners so we can get everything pressed tomorrow after we arrive.
I'm going to be fine in a carry on. Dana is stressing. I may be able to put her CPAP in my bag as well as mine.
We're going to take the dogs in a little bit. Maybe another hour. No fun there.

I hope everything goes well for the wedding and festivities.
Congrats on the weight loss and hopefully you can find an inexpensive pair or two of pants at GW. I think tomorrow is even Sr. Day!
