  • Just Not Right!

    My son just called me, he has been on Atkins too. He called to brag (as he should) that he went in to the local GoodWill thrift store to buy some slacks. For the heck of it he tried on some size 36 waist trousers AND THEY FIT! Well, they are a tad LOOSE! He hopes to get down to a 34 or a 32. He hasn't been that small (36) since high school.

    Problem is, I'm looking to downsize from my 34 to 38 waist pants...

    And I get to have his handme downs!

    THAT, is just not right!

    forbey

    (But it is great for him!)

    That is so great that you are both shrinking through the clothes sizes

    Keep up the good work!!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
