Default Small Successes Add Up, Right?

Hello everyone ~

OK, this is just a small success, but after only 10 days on Adkins Induction, my jeans are sagging in the butt and my hubby actually commented on it - I love it! What a great motivational boost.

Would love to hear about others' mini-successes, too.

That's awesome, congratulations!!!!! Just wait till you have to start buying clothes in smaller sizes!

I don't have a success story to add, but my experience is similar to yours....people commenting on loose clothes has definitely kept up the motivation.

I think the biggest motivator has been fitting into my "skinny" clothes. I used to buy smaller clothes ages ago, hoping to fit into them someday in the future, but a lot of them fit me now. I'm not quite where I want to be yet, but it's a very positive experience seeing yourself inching towards the goal.

Nicely done! Success comes in all sizes! I started my journey 24 days ago, and am down 2 sizes and almost 21 lbs. I also have a wardrobe full of saggy butt jeans.

I can't wait till my jeans are loose!

I do have a small success though. I bought a UK size 16 (US size 14) dress from ASOS and it's too baggy. My mom told me that i needed to wear it as soon as possible because she's sure in a month it'll be no good. That felt pretty good.

Nothing fits better than baggy jeans - especially the ones that used to be really tight. Congrats! the only thing that feels better? Having to give those baggy jeans to the thrift shop because they're gonna fall off.

Way to go! Small successes DO add up!

I always notice my weight loss in my panties and bras. It's such a great feeling when they start getting loose!
