OK I guve you permission to lecture me

I have been complaining over and over that I have been on Atkins for 7 weeks and have only lost 12 lbs so far. I have been complaining that my clothes are not fitting me any differently, slightly looser but not drastic.
I went to the Dr and he said if anything my throid is working better than it should.
I have even thought about quitting and dealing with my size 14-16 body and being happy about it.
But JC Penny is having a sale on all their summer clothes. I needed a pair of black capris and they are marked down to $6.50 from $36.00. so I picked up a pair of size 14's. THEY WERE TOO BIG!!!!!
I tried the size 12's on and they fit in the waist but are a little tight in the hips. SIZE 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am walking 5 miles a day and doing the bun and hip exerciser for about 20 min. per day. Anyone have any hints on quick thigh loss?
SIZE 12!!!!!!!!!! I can't get over that. They will fit me perfectly by my trip on Sept 19th. (I hope) Peggie

Peggie, you are doing great, and it is so nice to hear the positivity today. You now KNOW that you are on the right track. You are on your "weigh", so enjoy the journey!

Get rid of that "I hope" mentality. They WILL fit and you WILL look (and feel) great!
