    Size 34 pants are lookin' good

    In 2007 I bought a pair of size 34 Docker pants ... when I was wearing 36s and feeling optimistic, you know what I mean?
    But, back then instead of losing I gained, and as of this winter I was wearing 38/40s. The 34s hung in the closet.
    Then this spring I thought I'd better stop or reverse this bad trend, so I lost a few pounds, but I was not satisfied with my progress. I decided to do Atkins again. I was once up to 42s at my SW the first time I did Atkins. I found ADBB while searching around the web.

    I started Induction 6/15 and the exercise challenges 7/1.
    I've changed my habits and now I hit the gym 6 nights a week for lots of abs, stability ball, weight training, in addition to biking and running, and the strict diet.
    I've tried them every couple weeks and the 34s finally fit *comfortably* today.
    I'm still on my journey and it would not be the same without Dr. Atkins' DANDR book and the support of fellow ADBB members! Thank You!

        34s? Wow. I'm hoping for 36s -- 34 isn't even on my radar. Great work! Great inspiration!

              Hey, I feel your joy... I have dropped from a size 26 (sometimes 2 to a size 22, just this past weekend. I put on these jeans I bought in a thrift shop about a year ago... I was feeling optimistic... and well, THEY FIT.... it is a great feeling, a true measure of the hard work we are doing and the dilegence on keeping on track... I have to say GMAN... your posts keep me hopping... I appreciate your words every time... so....

              Congrats!

              Any size 32's we should know about?

                    Great work! I know exactly how you feel! I started out in tight 40's as well, and wear 34's comfortably now... I know it took a lot of work on your part to get here, and you are certainly to be commended!!!

                    Congrats and enjoy those 34's!!!

                    Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

                      That's wonderful news!! I have a size 18 pair of jeans in my closet that a friend gave me years ago. Brand new, never worn. I can't wait for the day I can actually wear them.
