Cool Pants Test

Hi, Everyone-

After reading about the Pants Test yesterday, I wanted to share this with you-all. I started Atkins 1/24 at 184 lbs. I've been through induction, am now on OWL, very happy with the results. Before my DH and I went on vacation, 3/24-3/30, I weighed in at 169-

So-we went away and it was a real struggle to stay on OWL b/c of the foods available to me, so I just gave it my best effort, and was still at 169 when we came home last Sunday night. Yesterday I weighed 168-

Now, I was wearing my black pants, and they were fitting a bit loose but OK. Today when I got dressed, I was wearing the same pants, and they are a size too big-unbelievable, but true- overnight! I started at a size 18-20. These pants are 16W and I'm now starting to fit into my old 16's-a good size for me as I am very tall.

I guess you can't rely on that scale too much!

Jan,

OMG - you've done fabulous! You've started at exactly the same weight as I and only 3 days before me. Wow!
Big congrats!!!

You've got that right.. My old jeans are the best measure.
Take care!

That must be great to come back from vacation without a gain, and to be able to just hop right back on like that!

Congratulations!

Congratulations! That is the most wonderful part about this WOE. You can really see your body changing and because of the way it's changing you know you aren't losing lean tissue. I've never experienced anything like the shape changes that have occurred with low-carb. Enjoy the trip!

Cindy
