Thread: LOL my pants fell down!

That's great! Not that your pants fell down but that you've lost enough inches to cause the fall. I lost my skirt while cleaning a fridge at the office the other day, what a wondeful "thinner" feeling.

OWL = ongoing weight loss

Dunno about ANA. American Nurses Association? Antinuclear Antibody?

Others:
WOE = way of eating
WOL = way of life
BTW = by the way.....oh, wait....you already used that one

Kudos on the pants falling down scenario. I remember when that happened to me the first time. Didn't quite understand what was happening or why.

ongoing weight loss
ANA??
way of eating

Great job with the losing of the clothing!!

Yes, Andrea....my face is red. Why didn't I think of that????

Yep. Atkins Nutritional Approach. Sounds a lot better than "diet, " as in, "Doctor, I've been thinking of trying the Atkins Nutritional Approach--and here's why...."

Cinch up those pants--and keep on keeping on!

P. S. About the ketostix. Any change on the stix from pink to purple indicates ketone bodies in the bloodstream, which indicates fat-burning going on. There's no set range. I wondered though about the numbers. My stix (Bayer) only show a color chart (at least I think so!)

Don't get hung up on the ketostix. If you are losing inches and/or weight, ANA (oops Atkins) is working for you. This is the best guide.

congratulations on your revelation of how well you're doing! good surprise, huh?

incidently, if you don't have the atkins book, now would be a great time to get it! in addition to making those acronyms make more sense, it's an invaluable guide along the way and helps out a lot. i strongly recommend it.

keep up the good work, missy!
