Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Mike, congratulations on the XL. It is so nice to wear regular sizes instead of the big and tall. Cheaper too! Kathy 220/145/135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hi Mike, I definitely understand where you are coming from there. I wore a XXXL shirt for the first time in over ten years last night and I truly know what kind of an accomplishment that is . Lin 422-338-250 Lhsh@... American by birth, Saved by the grace of God. guy clothing talk Ok enough of the cryptic female sizes huh guys? I was showering up in the gym at work and looking forward to wearing my Costco $15 sweater. It's very cool. I'll take pictures in it tomorrow night at the bar during a friends birthday party so ya'll can see it. Anyway, the reason being that it's an XL. Now XL might not be that big of a deal but in a sweater it sure is. All of my other sweaters are 2X. I go to grab my clothing and think, " Maybe I should consider getting some XL underwear too since I'm probably not a 2X in that clothing anymore. " Low and behold I had packed XL underwear in my bag. For the life of me I can't remember buying that size. How strange is that? So now I'm wearing size 13W shoes (granted that's the largest Rockport makes), regular old white socks, XL underwear, size 42 " pants, XL t-shirt and XL sweater. Wow nothing other than MAYBE the pants are even remotely out of whack size wise. Very strange. Oh and even my watch has the default amount of links in its band. It seems I've gained a few pounds from 269 to 271 but that might be more muscle because I upped my weights 10%. Oh and speaking of weights I had a friend sort of mention that he could bench press 250lbs. He's very short (haha) but built stocky like a gorilla. I tried to do 225lbs and couldn't really get much movement. So I did 200lbs and it went up relatively smoothly. There's something to play around with on a weekly basis. Have a great weekend!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I figured it out. I've got a couple packages of 2XL and only two XL underwear. Maybe I got them from my father on our last family vacation. Still weird. > > > Ok enough of the cryptic female sizes huh guys?
