not happy someone slap some sense into me

[gingerRN 81]

thank you so much for your kind words. you are right' date=' maybe i should try lane bryant 16's huh or avenue. i just cant swallow i only lost 1 pants size. not losing over 60lbs because every 10lbs is a pants size. again thank you[/quote']

I've always found that in plus sizes each size is 20lbs. Also big difference for me between a 18W & 18 regular. Once I get out of plus sizes, each 10 lbs drops to a new size. I can't wait to get out of plus sizes !!!

i was sleeved 9/12/12 ive lost 47lbs since surgery' date=' and 16lbs before surgery, here are my stats

september i lost 10lbs

november i losts 16lbs

december i lost 9lbs

january so far first week 4lbs

why am i not happy? i will tell you why because i went to ross today to see what size pants i wear i just knew i was a 16 or 18

so i grabbed a bunch of jeans in that range and do you know the 18 i couldnt fit i wonder how big my ass really was, but my 22/24 jeans are way to big for me i was so sad because i knew i could at least get in an 18. this battle is something else man. talk to me fellow sleevers.[/quote']

Hey for some reason I'm seeing the same thing, I did go down two sizes but it was weird I lost 50 lbs and thought like you ill be smaller and I wasn't I was do upset but then this last 13 lbs took a ton of inches off! I think we loose it so fast it take a a min for our bodies to catch up bc I remember in the past the rule of thumb being for every 20lbs was a size right!? Doesn't seem to be the case here huh? Keep your head high you have kicked some A**!!!! Lol xoxoxox

Until I get to the size I want to be I buy my jeans at thrift store/garage sales. I have 5 pairs of size 14 jeans and 3 pairs of 16's. Three pairs of the 14's fit (others too tight) and 1 pair of the 16 aren't too loose (rest too loose). It's the brand of jean I promise!

I am so glad I came across this thread. I was about to shop for some smaller clothes just knowing that in 20 lbs or so I'll be in a size 14/16 but ummm I'll wait and just dig out the few things that I have that are in smaller sizes that hopefully I can fit...

I am 168 and wear size 15/16. Additionally I find that jeans that are labeled curvy fit me perfect. I know Aeropostale sells curvy only online and I think they go to a 17/18. I also got some curvy jeans at Kohls. Try them jeans that have curvy on their label and u will see they fit so much better.

[melinda48 37]

That just goes to show you that brands are different when it comes to sizes. I'm 5'6 weigh 188 and have 3 size 14's that fit great...but I have 2 other 14's that don't fit...all 5 are different brands.

I agree. ...I'm in the same range but I have a lot of clothes that were very tight....si

I read that the bigger a person is, the longer it takes to drop sizes Nd he smaller you get, the quicker the sizes drop.

i have given up on pants and just wear skirts. but i have the same issue with shirts... i have lost 55 pounds and dont think my size has gone down overall.. because every thing is so differant. one think i have noticed... this morning when i got dressed i had to toss out my favorite undies... they FELL off my ass when i stood up.... sometimes its the little things:)

[amytug 996]

Oh also!!! Are you working out? It makes all the difference in the world.

I tried on seriously-60 pairs of jeans on New Year's Day. God love my boyfriend. I was able to get a 14 on in 2 brands- yet some brands the 18 wouldn't go up my thighs. Ugh. So frustrating. Try a brand of jeans called source of wisdom- they are a super stretchy material and you should be able to wear them a bit longer than some other jeans.
