Default On a roll! Down four sizes!

Hello! Hello! Hello!

As you may remember, I posted a thread a while back about losing 15 Lb in 20 days. My next weigh in isn't until next week, but I couldn't resist giving you this good information!

When I started this journey, I was wearing a size 44-46, depending on the day. As of last night, I have confirmed that I was able to put on size 42 pants that I purchased a few months ago, but it was too small to fit.

I'm so excited! This means so much to me. Just when I was getting a little upset at the supposed lack of change in my physical appearance, my butt and waist prove me wrong. And the good news is that they aren't really a tight fit. I don't feel uncomfortable in them whatsoever. I can't wait to get down to a 38 and then a 36 and then a 34.

Woo! Woo!

Just an update before I leave for a while; I just tried on a pair of size 40 dress pants for a job interview I have to go to and OMG! I can wear them. They are slightly tight, but they aren't killing me! Goodness! I know that pants are cut differently, but **** I don't care!

Woo!

Well done, man!

I started in 3x polo shirts/t shirts. Been dressing pretty casually the last few months of summer (about the time I started Atkins) so had been wearing the same old comfortable loose stuff over and over. I went to put on a shirt the other day and was fairly aggravated that it seemed a little snug - wearable, but snug - and I had lost over 20 pounds? What the... oh, this is a 2x, not a 3x like I thought it was! LOL!

Good thing, cause I was about to be pissed! Now, if I can just get down another ten pounds, I should drop a size in jeans, too.

Great for you - you inspire me!

Yaaaay James!!! You're shrinking and you've got smaller pants to prove it. I wish you continued success and I hope your interview goes well!
