My loss is your gain!
« on: December 01, 2011, 08:53:55 AM »
Over the last year I have lost about 60 lbs and things just don't fit anymore. I have the following Patagonia jacket in XL and have worn it less than a dozen times back and forth to work. The condition is like new and the color is a dark gray (I believe last year’s color was called slate wall).

$100 takes it home.

Sold.

And Steve is right. I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him this weekend.

I appreciate it! It has been a year long process for me. Stick to it and you can achieve it.

Steve,
Does this mean you'll be ordering a salad at the Carthage Wafflehouse on our next gathering?
Please don't start wearing skinny jeans.
