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.

That's awesome!! You'll be in those 22s in no time!

Yayyyy for you!!!

thanks, it 's "finally" paying off. I have some tops that are my benchmarks for chest size, but I diddn't have anything for bottoms.

Yay! Congrats! I can't wait to have that feeling.

Congratulations! That is so exciting!

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.

yay

Congrats! That is fantastic

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!

Way to go!!!! Thats great news!! I know you must have been super excited!!!! Keep it up!!!!!

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

WOW! That's great!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!

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**
