LOL tell me about it I threw out my jeans from high school a few years ago when they showed up during a move. Hip hugger bell bottoms. Yikes. Did I actually wear those?

Not sure exactly, since I couldn't fit into my size 16 jeans and was wearing XL legging after my daughter was born, but once I fit in the size 16 jeans, which was around when I started Atkins (daughter was born 1/22, I started atkins 3/17).

Anyway, once in the size 16, I am now wearing a size 2

Me tight (denial) size 16's in Sept 2002 and now very comfortable size 10's.

Now I am frustrated. I am down from a 16 to 14 in pants/skirts yet I see lots of people weighing more than me wearing size 12 and 10. GRRRR...I want to wear those sizes!

From a 22/24W pants to a 16 ladies. 22or 3xtop to a 14/16 top or large ladies. (I've lost a total of 73 pds since Oct. 2002). I can now get into a 14 shorts but not ready to be seen in public in them, LOL.

Of course we can always blame our hips getting wider on having had children...lol

I went from an 18/20 to a 13/14. And in some brands even an 11/12!!

I started in December '02 at size loose 16. Yesterday I bought my 3rd pair of size 10. They fit just right. Neither loose nor tight.

Oh I have LOVED this thread!!!!! The thing has has me all crazy is that those of you that I am SO interested in reading your journals...dont have journals!!! MAN, what a bummer!!!

I am wearing a humongus 26 right now..biggest I've ever been. I desperately want to be an 18 or less by christmas! I have my very most favorite pair of jeans in ym closet still looking brand new... they are 18's... the coolest emboidered bell bottoms... lol

I will not cheat at all no matter what because I am worth it and I am going to wear clothes SMALLER than my high school jeans! (18/20) I will feel like a huge success when I see an 8 roll around...lol... have no idea what I will weigh though.

I started at a tight 16 (US 14) on the top and 14 (US12) on the bottom.
I'm now a neat 12 (US10) on the top and nearly a 10 (US8) on the bottom - another 6 pounds to lose and I reach goal weight, when I will definitely be a 10 (8).

It feels so good!! Thank you Dr A!

I started at a super-tight (I'm talking roll-of-fat-popping-over-the-top tight) 18 on June 2, when I started Atkins. Now I'm a very loose 18 or a very tight 16, which is an awful size to be! Hopefully my stall will break soon and I'll drop enough pounds to be comfortable in the 16s. I'm just itching to wear that size-16 skirt I bought a few weeks ago...

Low carbing makes us leaner faster... add exercise and watch those inches go!

when i started i was 250 lbs and a size 26W and 46 (mens size), i am at 200lbs now and am a 18-20W and a 42 (almost40) mens. i have been loosing about 1 year now.
