Default To Newbies and/or scale addicts!

FYI - 3 Weeks ago I tried on a pair of 18 jeans! I barely got them all the way up and definitly could not zip them, even if laying down! Today, 3 weeks later I have not lost a lb! Matter of fact I gained 1 lb! I tried on those same 18 jeans (Why I even tried was beyond me) Not only was I able to zip them but with no spill over, if you know what i mean! LOL So just keep in mind that some times you may be losing inches and no lbs! Don't get discouraged when the scale either doesn't move or even goes up a little! You keep your head up and stay positive! If i can succeed, anyone can.

Congratulations Tracie..and you are so right.. I am having a pity party today because I am up 6lbs thanks to Tom.. But I have wind suit pants that aren't killing my stomach...two weeks ago they were hurting...

Also, brand new capris that I bought not too long ago are loose too

Thanks you all for the congratulations. They are appreciated! But i just wanted to post this to remind everyone including myself (scale addict BAD!) that sometimes the scale is not the most important thing when doing ATKINS!
