Exactly, I am starting to think I'll have to lose 50lbs before my tight jeans are no longer tight. But look forward to the day that they'll actually fall off! Right now they just feel a little less tight every time I wear them and I'll take that! Celtinore give it some time. I get feelings like this too but I just wait for them to pass. I am not eating out of control like before I started Atkins. So I see it as things can only get better. I don't count calories because I generally know the round about calories in most foods I consume, if not I check on www.fitday.com. I can be obsessive about things but my weight loss can't be one of them. I am concentrating on how I feel the knowing physical changes will come. They will for you too! Good Luck Ellen
