You know what they say about those with big feet...you drive a big truck and have a small penis but if you lose the weight it will grow (so I'm told). I suggest you join the skinny club...more benefits than one!

Heh can't say that analogy always holds true, I drive a Honda not a big Truck, I have no shortcomings to make up for

that, too, is something you should avoid-- purchasing something simply because it's a good deal. i'm not saying that you shouldn't buy clothing that is a good deal, but buying something that is cheap simply because it's cheap is never a good decision.

i would say that it's time for you to start investing in nicer, better made pieces, but since you seem to be unsure whether or not you will lose more weight, it seems silly to go and purchase a bunch of clothes that may not fit you in a month, two months, or even six months.

if i were in your position, I would focus your efforts now on researching looks that appeal to you, trying on clothing in stores, and reading about fashion a little more while you continue to work on your body, and by the time you reach your ideal body weight, you'll have a lot more information to go on.

I'm similar to this guy-- 5'8.5, 160lbs. I usually wear size 30 jeans. If he usually wears 36, I suspect he could lose a little more weight around the middle.

And I'm, 11.5EE, which is strongly limiting as far as footwear options.

Limiting to say the least, for years all I could find was New Balance for the street and Florsheim for work, neither of which I ever lked but bought out of necessity.

Lately it seems a few more manufactures are realizing there are people out there that don't have a D width. For casual I've found Clarks, for street there is Sketchers online they sell extra wide, Asics makes a few extra wide cross trainers. Several running shoes as well (Asics, Brooks, Saucony) I just don't like the running shoe look very much.

I just want to thank everyone again for there suggestions, I went ahead and got one AA 2001 tee in Navy size large from ebay. I would of got more, but I want to see how it fit's first, hard to tell if I should get a medium or a large. I spoke to an AA rep and they said to stick with a large as they run small and shrink quit a bit.
