Its true, he has been gloating about it all day today, thought I'd let everyone else know also. I'm really proud of this guy!

That's awesome! All of the hard work has paid off. Is his goal achieved of where he wants to be?
Great job David. Congrats!

Congrats to Mr. Kirkham. Any weight loss is fantastic, but no one should use clothes sizing as a measuring stick. I actually heard this news story on NPR on Wednesday 9/26 about "vanity sizing" in the clothes industry:

You know how it is! I can wear 32's, but 34's feel so good, I just buy 36's.
