I will be going back to work soon & tried on my uniform pants. I have lost almost 50 lbs but these stinking pants still fit me. They are a lot looser but geez, I expected them to fall off me. Granted these were probably very tight on me before. Did anyone else have this happen? Initially, how many lbs did you have to lose before getting a smaller pants size.

I didn't mention that I can wear jeans that are 4 sizes smaller but the uniform pants are polyester and the waistband has a bit of stretch to them. I must have been at maximum capacity in them before. I was really hoping to have a dramatic difference when I went back to work, but I know that big milestones take time. I guess I'll find out by my coworkers comments. They don't hold back where I work.

They will definitely notice the 50 lb weight loss! That is awesome! Even if you had not dropped to the next pant size down, I bet your uniform pants fit MUCH better than before.

The thing I noticed is that my pants size did not drop right away with the weight loss. Then I would hit the dreaded stall, and a couple weeks later, WA-LA I was in a different size even though I had not lost any additional weight. I have gone from a size 22W to a 16W or size 18 regular (you know I will never buy another 16 W again, now that a regular size fit! LOL) but I lingered in my 22's and 20s for quite a while before the sudden drop to 18.
