I have lost 35 lbs now. My problem is that I am still wearing the same size I was wearing before I lost it. I would think I would be down at least 1 size. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone have any reasoning for this? It is really discouraging.

Hi Tabby,

A very similar thread was posted yesterday here. It might be helpful to you.

Good luck

Hi TabbyAnn,

I have the exact opposite problem.. i was banded almost 4 months ago(only lost around 20 pounds) but my clothing size went from 20 to 16. I just dont get how one can move and noth the other. i totally get your frustration, i'm sorry i dont have an answer for you , but wanted you to know there are some people with the opposite problem...wish we could combine your weight loss with my size loss and we'd both be happy! LOL

Yeah I'm the same way, I've lost about 30 pounds and yeah I'm still in the same size. They are looser on the legs but the belly still fits in my jeans just fine. Idk why that is.

Yeah, I'm right there with. I can loose around 30+ lbs myself and still be the same size, but of course they are looser. I'm currently an 18 at 236 lbs and won't see that 16 until around 210. Kind of stinks, but trying not to be discouraged, only because it's been like that my entire life.

I was the same way. I started out in a snug 3X and a few 4X's. Even though the weight was falling off the sizes weren't changing as quickly. Once I dwindled down to a 24 the weight loss slowed down a little but the sizes started dropping quickly. I was constantly buying new clothes. I even completely skipped over 22 and 18. Before I knew it, I was buying 14's. I stayed that size for well over a year and am now buying 12's and a few 10's. Don't worry. The sizes will start moving. In the meantime, enjoy not having to spend money on clothes you aren't going to be wearing for long.
