I just had to post this.. Three months ago, I was wearing baggy size 22 trousers, with an elasticated waist. This evening, I felt brave enough to get out my favourite trousers (size 16 - close fitting and buttoned at the waist). I wanted to see how far up my legs I could get them. The last time, I could only get them a few inches above my knees. I hoped desperately to get them up to my hips this time.

They slid all the way up my thighs and skimmed over my hips easily. I found the zip and pulled it all the way up, then slowly buttoned the waistband with a swimmy feeling of disbelief. I still feel all shaky and disbelieving! They fit me! I'd like them a little more roomy, but basically, I have gone from a baggy, elasticated waist, loose-legged size 22 to a fitted size 16 in 3 months.

Hurrah for Dr. Atkins and hurrah for Callanetics! This is totally miraculous!
