I took it off because it looked goofy along with the "talkative" avatar. I was thinking of making up a before/now set up pictures for the signature are, kind of like Brook's...I'm motivated every time I see one of her posts!

You guys are too funny

One thing I LOVE about these posts are we all have either been or still are FAT and yet we are fun, loving people with great sense of humors.

It helps me a great deal not to feel insecure and to just be myself and have the attitude, we are all in this together, so we will succeed together.

I went shopping Saturday to buy a new outfit for my son's graduation. I found so many cute things but when I tried them on I did not like the way my flabby stomach looked. I went ahead and bought a couple things knowing I will be able to look good in them in even a month or two.

Keep up the good work everyone and before you know it we will all be about half our size. I asked my husband if he would take me on a cruise when I reach my goal and he smiled and said sure hun, that is a small reward. The big reward will be how you feel about yourself. Man, I love that man.

Actually, I always thought of myself as "gravitationally challenged."

Hi,

I just want you all to know that even though the stories you have told on this chain were a bit funny, It really has motivated me.

My pants are a bit loose, and as much as I want to go down a size I am afraid to go try some new pants on.

Well, this weekend, because of you all and the things you have written I am going to give it a try.

If I don't go down a size then I know I will someday, and if I do go down a size then please know that I have all of you to thank for giving me the courage to at least try.

Thanks,
Chriss

Actually Chriss???? I will tell ya what you do. You go and get them pants. even if they are tight as long as you can zip them up without laying on the bed you are doing good. Then you go home . stand in front of that mirror of yours with them pants on and say to yourself THANK YOU. Give yourself all the credit. we may have been there to nudge ya a bit here and a bit there. But you my dear are the star of your own destiny : ) ..... please do let us know what the verdict is. But what ever it is know that you are doing a good thing...(((geesh now i sound like martha.....

[chriss]

Thanks Christie, you are right, you guys are the pushers and I am the loser. I like it this way.

And about your sounding like Martha, I hear her job is going to be vacant soon, If you take it don't listen to any "inside scoops"

Have a super rest of the week
Chriss

Christy you are a riot! I remember doing that once and got my skin and undies caught in the Zipper........ Had to really scream for my husbands help. (lol) And FrazierBerek I love (The my husband thinks its another power tool thing) Any thing that makes a motor noise my husband thinks is a power tool He!Hee! I am so glad I read this post today made my day thanks.
Thats whats great about the Atkins way (we all feel so good while doing it!)

[Christie]

awwwwwwwww that is wonderful that you enjoyed this post. I loved posting it actually. Doing the zipper brings back some great memories for me actually as my mom used to make me help her with her zippers when she was younger. lmao ... can still remember doing that .

Chriss, you are right there will be a job opening pretty soon think perhaps all of us could start The Atkins Show??????? giving aide to all those people who need help with their zippers and give them an easy way of pulling it up without laying on the bed???? just yell at them DO ATKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe


I am honestly happy that this brought a smile so your faces out there : ) .... That is my job making ya all smile when you need it : )

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and as for getting the skin caught in that zipper.. I was thinkin maybe that would be a great way to do a tummy tuck?? what ever dont tuck just zip it off?????? lmao OMG i have done that before that is so painful not knowing if you should just continue up or pull it back down... ackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ok now i am getting a tummy ache....

[Sandra]

Stop my tummy hurts from laughing!!!
Okay ever use a pair of pliers to pull up a zipper???
How about forcing them on wet so they are looser when they dry
Works with shirts too! I would never confess these things to anyone but my Atkins Family!
Omg! I will be glad when I never have to worry about those things again.
But humor is a good thing!!

[2big4mysize]

LMAO Micromimi is looking for a tummy tuck I'll send her your way Chrisite. Just think of all the money she can save with a zipper tuck. LOL LOL

[Christie]

Hey I am going to patent this idea....... and NO NO NO I will NOT i refuse to admit to putting on things wet so they stretch.. NOPE NOPE NOPE never done it. No you can not make me admit to it I refuse to. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>because actually I put them on dry and do the zipper dance and then spray water on them. that way i can accentuate my curves. darn just wish i didnt have sooooooooooooo many curves to accentuate.

Nope will not admit to it. BIG SMILE!!!!!

[chriss]

Christie, thanks to you for giving me a little push. I went and bought new jeans yesterday, I was a size 22 and now am a size 18. I was afraid I wouldn't even be a size 20.

Thanks for your encouragement, I wouldn't have done it without you.
