Re: SIZE 8 and feeling GRRRRREAT!!!

this is no "small victory"!! way to go! you have given me added incentive to be good today....I am imagining me standing in that dressing room someday and saying "so THIS is how she felt!"

Thank you!

That's an awesome post!! I can promise you this...when the number on the tag is smaller than you can ever remember wearing and the jeans slide right over your hips and zip and button without have to lie flat on the bed , that my friend, is the sweetest feeling!! And you can know it too!!

WAY TO GO EVER!!!!!! I'm so proud of you....you most certainly deserve to do the victory dance girl!!!!!

I hit size 8's recently myself...I can appreciate your excitement!

Keep up the great work, you have been through such and incredible amount with your family lately (I just haven't been able to write till now....I've had a whole heap load going on in my family too so I know all to well how emotionally draining it can be). I'm so sorry you lost your dear grandmother as of recent. You were in my thoughts during that entire time....you're quite the trooper and I'm really proud of you.

Keep up the great work, you're a true inspiration to many here.

Hugs,
Sarina

Wow!!! I wish I had this forum when I first did Atkins 3 years ago, would have helped a lot!! I'm so motivated after reading about your success, I can't wait to get into a size 8, but my first big goal is a 12, I'm in a 16 right now, can't wait!! I just started yesterday and am so excited about my first weigh in next Sunday

Re: SIZE 8 and feeling GRRRRREAT!!!

Oh Wow Size 8 is truly a celebration!!!
I'm just dreaming about size 14 - really - i can't even imagine an 8! (but i remember - way back when a size 8 for me was a 'chunking the weight on' sign - I'm barely 5'3" and 4's and 6's populated my closet but that seems like sooo looooong ago)

Hoping to meet you in the single digit land sooner than soon!

Congratulations! Thanks for the motivation!
