I put on a pair of size 24 jeans today, and I buttoned and zipped them with SLACK in the waist! I wonder if I tried on a pair of 22's what the result would be?! I am not buying any new clothes, but it might be fun to go see.
I'm cheap, too, when it comes to buying smaller sizes I don't want to stay in. I found that when I was losing weight, I would keep wearing clothes until they were falling off me and I simply couldn't stand them anymore. Then when I went to go try on the new size, I went down two sizes instead of just one. So you would probably get into 22's just fine right now, but if you wait it out a little longer, you can get yourself some 20's instead.

Exactly! My sister is on her journey as well doing Atkins. And I think she might have a pair of 22's I could try on (just to make me feel better-boost of confidence). But I am not going to be buying anything until I don't have but 2 pairs of pants that fit. Plus DH is not wanting me to spend more money...yet. I should ask for a GC for my b-day in April!
What a wonderful feeling! i know what ya mean. I went to my parents place a few days ago, and mom is like, " Why dont you try on these pants, i picked them up for you cause i thought they would fit you"... i said, well what size are they! she tells me they are a size 16. I said... no way! those will ever ever fit me. she said just try them! so i did.... and they FIT! i was very suprised actually, but it was nice. Cause i know they wouldnt have fit a few months ago :P

Congrats!! That's an awesome feeling. I got a pair of size 22 skinny Jeans from Lane Bryant for 6.99. They're too tight right now...but they were super cheap and it was a great way to check my progress clothing wise. I can't wait until I can wear them.
**For whatever reason, their pants tend to run small for my body type...shirts I can wear 18/20, but their pants I have to wear size 24s...but any place else I can wear 22s, it's annoying**
Finally!!!
I am not buying any new clothes, but it might be fun to go see.
