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

Ross clothes are usually irregular! !! So it's not your ass its the store.

I'm sorry I'm

With her! It's not your ass its the store!!!!!! Best quote of 2013! Lol

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.

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:)

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

need to start

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.

Newgrandmother.. You're lookin awesome! I had to do a double take on your pic because I thought it was two different people!

Hang in there and stay positive.

My situation is a bit differnt because all my weight gain was in the last year since my band removal so I still have all my old jeans and just shop in my closet. If it wasn't for that I swear I'd go insane if I had to physically try to find pants that fit. I HATE shopping for pants!

Clothing sizes makes no sense to me
