Spalla,

Do you have any feelings about Marroquians that you'd like to put on the record?

Am I going to fast for you?


*too fast

Couldn't resist considering the nature of the swipe.

Congrats on losing the weight! You'll be much happier being trim and fit as opposed to having shirts that fit

I absolutely will sell them here - great idea!! I have a whole bunch of 15.5's coming on board. They're "decent" shirts of the Polo Custom Fit, Thomas Pink variety. I know most of the people here think spending less than $300 on a shirt is a sin, though.

I would say if you lost 30 lbs, you're the motivated type, not the dumb type. I think having a good warddrobe is hard enough without having a significant shift in body type, so there's obviously nothing wrong with having an unbalanced warddrobe. If you are at a comfortable weight and build, then you can start to get more clothes based on that, so even if it's just one or two shirts a month, over time you will have 20 good fitting shirts. Good luck in the future!
 

Thanks SF (a new me)

Hahahaha. I'm close to spamming this thread now. My BB shirts would make good parachutes, in particular. I love the idea of wearing them for half a day and having that "wth" look on my face the entire time.

welcome you seem like a swell fellow


A little corny, but I went on Amazon and looked for the highest rated diet book for men and Men's Health "Belly Off Diet" came up. I followed the diet fairly closely (basically, eat like a king for breakfast, prince for lunch, and pauper for dinner and snack in between so never "starving", reduce sugar/processed foods, and incorporate running into one's routine. Worked like a charm.

Fantastic - 50 pounds! If you want a Hugo Boss 40S gray suit, hit me up. You probably need to stock the wardrobe, too.

Definitely not! I'm a paid-up member of the Spalla Fan Club. Just hoping to sort out this Corniche confusion.
