Talking Three Sizes in 70 days!!!!!

I was in shock this weekend. Went clothes shopping with my sister. My jeans were baggy - I knew that I had dropped a size maybe two. I grab a size 22 and a 20 - tried on the 20 first they went on nice and easy!!! They fit fine but just a little lose in the back end . So I grabed the size 18 - just out on curiousity. THEY FIT!!!!! OK - a little tight around the waist , but I can live with that !!! I did not have to hold my breath to get into them - so I bought them!!!

I tried them on for my family that night and my 15 y.o. daughter said I had a cute a..... in them .

I am never giving up this way of life!!!!

I want to thank all of you that wright such inspiring threads and replies!!! This forum has been the greatest inspration to me.

Today I tried on my pants that I havent been able to wear in forever, and they fit perfectly! Ive lost around 15 lbs on atkins, which isnt alot, but Ive lost inches. It really feels good doesnt it!?!

Keep up the excellent work...
