Default No more big stores for me. :)
I went to my favorite plus-size store today to get a new outfit for our family reunion tomorrow. I found the CUTEST pair of capri pants....BUT COULDN'T FIT INTO THEM!! What a wonderful dilemma!! In fact, I couldn't find a THING that fit me in there. I then proceeded to go to a "regular" store and purchase a pair of size 14 shorts!!

Even with my high expectations of the Atkins WOL, I NEVER expected to be a size 14 at 211 lbs. LOL. I remember being a size 18 on the way up at around 200 lbs. I could just cry!!

Thank you all for your support and for allowing me to do a little shameless self-promoting.

WOW!!! That is SO cool! Congratulations!



I have been considering going to try on clothes, just to see what size I'm in now. Your testimony has convinced me to do it!!! Most of my clothes just hang off of me now...they're so big.

Way to go Motis! Don't ya looove it when that happens? I have found that Atkins really helps to lose inches even when the scale stays on or near the same number. I guess I'm not the only one! Anyway, thanks for sharing with us and keep up the good work.
