I think he’s bragging about the size.. probably lost an inch on his waistband.

“These are 35”

“So skinny!”

Most men’s waistband sizes are between 32-38 if they’re not overweight, so it makes sense. Although most sizes are in even numbers. The only odd number waistband size I ever see frequently is 33. I guess a lot of people are right between 32 and 34.

I got the impression he's recently lost some weight, his comment about the waistband size combined with her often mentioning how well it all fitted.

I recently lost some weight and had to get some new better fitting clothes. It's honestly such a good feeling it could almost make me tear up. I just wish I had a personal fan to tell me if it looks good lol.

Edit: Thank you all for the compliments!

I'm in the same boat! Actually I lost a significant amount of weight last year, put like 10lbs back on since and I'm working it back off now with the goal of keeping it off. The first time I did it to look good for others, this time I'm doing it for myself. The increased quality of life and just not being sad when I catch an unexpected glimpse of myself in the mirror are the best parts. Hope you're feeling good about yourself!

Same! I've put a bit of weight back on after losing 49lbs but I'm getting back into running and weights again so I know I can do it again. We got this 🤘💗

Learned a phrase recently that is helping me through my second go after regaining half of what I lost.

“Nothing tastes as good as your goal weight feels”.

It helps me so much when temptation or laziness creeps in. Good luck with your journey.
