I just love this...

[Beanie]

First and foremost, I love this board and everyone on it!! I don't think I could have lost this weight without the encouraging pm's, posts and replies to all these threads! Each and everyone of you are special to me and give me the much needed support to be able to do this!! This new journey in my life is a welcomed one and I have you all to thank for that!

Now, getting back to the reason for this post ...I have this pair of shorts that were getting too tight when I first decided to start Atkins at the beginning of April. These shorts are my favorite and I wear them all the time, so as the months have gone by, they have got smaller and smaller on me and well, basically they don't look all that great anymore! They were my favorite, up until the other day, when I put them on, I figured for the last time! They were getting way to loose on me now and the last time I wore them, I had to keep hiking them back up all the time! LOL

Well, after I put them on, I decided to change since, much to my surprise, I could pull them off without even unbuttoning them!! Talk about amazed!! I still can't believe it!! So anyway, I had to retire those shorts today, my favorite ones...it was a sad day, but inside I was really excited about it as I know there is a day coming soon where I am going to be buying myself a whole new wardrobe because everything is becoming to big on me!!

Can you imagine?? I never thought I would hear myself say something was "too big" on me!! I just love this...

Hugs everyone!

Beanie!!!! How wonderful!!!! Toss those old shorts out and make way for some new favorites!!!! I'm so proud of you!! Losing 24+ pounds is a great accomplishment!

I'm also thankful for this Board and all the wonderful people on it!! It has been years since I had the willpower to try to lose. You folks have made all the difference for me. All the support and encouragement has helped me so much. You are all so special!
