    I can't tell you how many times I've looked at sleeveless shirts recently in the store and walked away. Although I've lost almost 50 pounds, my arms are still so flabby I'm self-conscious. It's probably all in my head. Maybe I'll try it. Thanks for the push.

      Woohoo - well done :clapping
      I havent quite got that far but I did buy a pair of tailored kneelength shorts at the charity shop a few weeks ago and wore them to a steam fair on Sunday.
      I dont think I have 'ever' worn shorts since becoming an adult :yikes
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

        LOL I'm with you Elizellen, the last time I wore shorts I was wearing a size 8 and burst into tears because I had to wear them as we were going to a pool party. How sick is that. Sleeveless would be a big accomplishmen. Congrats Katy1234!!!!!! Good for you!!!!

              Congrats on the sleevless top wearing. I have a few sleeveless tops but not ones for wearing out anywhere. However I wear short sleeves all the time, and some are little cap sleeves. I am almost 57, and my arms are flabby, but I am trying to work on them. I also need to work on the tummy. Well, getting into a size 10 for sure and some 8's is still good for this 57 (close enough to Aug. to go ahead and claim it) year young grandmother. LOL

              I commend all of you for the journey to health you are taking. We all have the Atkins foundation, but along the way we have to do somethings for ourselves when it is the right time to do it.
              Just keep on your journey to better health and well being and the rest will come.

                    I just bought some swim shorts and a bikini top. My husband laughed. When I questioned him, he told me that he's sure they will look great in my dresser drawer since he knows I won't wear them out to the apartment pool. Just to prove him wrong, I put them on last weekend when we took our daughter to the pool. So, I was able to prove him wrong .... although I did have a shirt over the bikini top. I just couldn't seem to take the cover up top off yet. :nono

                        Good for you Katy. It is summer afterall, and might as well wear sleeve less!! I must say I have bought some tank tops for this summer and actually wore one the other day, and my arms didn't look so flabby anymore. Must be all that weight training I'm doing!! Keep up the great work, and maybe soon you will go strapless!!! :yes

                          Well, here's the thing - my wedding dress is strapless and I am fighting the urge to buy one great big shawl to throw over myself when I walk down the aisle!!!

                          That'll be embarrasing if I haven't lost the weight - My bras are size 38 E/F :yikes

                          But who knows - maybe I will risk it ank buy a tank top - That's a realistic treat for getting to 120 right? 12lbs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            I wore my ralph lauren size 10 3inch inseam jean shorts out to the park with the kids, hubby, and mother in law yesterday. No one batted an eye, and the cops did not get an "indecent exposure" call. My hubby asked when was the last time I wore those in public and I recalled that it was almost 3 years ago. I am so excited. (they fit perfectly, no muffin top or anything) I was so thrilled, because this is the smallest I was three years ago, but i am only halfway thru my journey now!!!
