Isn't it interesting?

[ProudSAHM]

Hello All!

When I started Atkins I wore as size 24. 255lbs...... a month later I am 230 and I just bought (and fit into) a size 16 jeans?!? I wore a size 16 jeans in highschool and weighed 175-185?? I understand that on this WOE you lose inches as well as weight but I had no idea! I guess being 230 and a size 16 is a good thing, but I sure hope to see more pounds going away along with smaller sizes.

Happy low carbing.

I'm jealous, I'm 190 and can't fit a 16 yet.

Me too - I am around 230, 5"7" and can fit into size 16 pants (in some labels). In others, I still need an 18 - it just depends. But either is a lot better than a 26!

That is really cool !! Thanks for sharing that information with us!

I just noticed in your siggy regarding your exercise! That is awesome if you are doing that much per day! I'm thinking of upping my exercise (cardio) to 45 minutes per day within the next day or so. I'm taking a rest day today, but I'm aiming to get down to 113 kgs by end of February and its about half way through the month at the moment.....I think I can lose 2 kgs (around 4 - 5 pounds) by end of February!

Way to go though, that must be exciting for you!!!

Wow, that's great! I didn't fit into 16's until I was around 195 pounds. I am only in a few 14's at 185 pounds, but I mostly have 16's still.

Isn't it great! I have always been amazed by that as well. I just bought a pair of size 10 jeans and they fit...at my weight. It's so weird. I'm an exercise junkie now too so that combined with this woe does the trick. Thank you Dr. Atkins!
