I'm doing okay for someone rapidly closing in on 50y. I cannot carry IWB comfortably if I'm over 200lbs. When I'm between my goal weight of 190-195 my waist is about 34" and I wear a 46R sport coat. The way a 46R jacket hangs on me makes concealing fairly easy even OWB, which I like better. I'm still pretty active, but am slowing down a little. I mostly just do cardio and weights with some MTB bicycling now. I do run, but most of that is on the treadmills in the gym. Outdoor running is more difficult for some reason.Scott in Houston wrote:I've lost 15 pounds this year! It feels great. I am very fit and almost no fat. Cycling, major pushups (300/day every other day), and now tennis again (first time in 20 years), have really helped too. I gained weight last year and now that I'm forty, I worried that my metabolism is slowing, so I'm trying to head that off at the pass.
I'll tell ya, it's helped IWB carry a lot! It sounds like you're in shape, so congrats. It's a tough a thing to do in our society.
Anyway, outside of work, I carry so much that most people have no idea what kind of shape I am in because I wear such loose clothing all the time. Except for work (can't carry inside), I'm done with fitted tops and the correct size bottoms. I like my jeans comfy and for the option of IWB I usually get 36" waist with relaxed fit cut.
