female only When do you start dropping sizes?

[BettyLou2013 13]

No, I lost 56 pounds total...actually 60 now that I'm almost three weeks post-op. That combined my pre and post efforts. I have lost 25 since my surgery and the rest was pre-op. Yea, I'm starting to really notice the change in my middle. Very exciting. This week I'm going to step up the exercise...I'm finally meeting my nutritional goals and things are looking up. :-)

It took me 2 1/2 months and almost 60lbs to go down a size (I started stuffed into a 20)- in the next 42lbs and 7ish months- I have gone down 6 sizes. I've gone from a 2x top and 20/22 bottoms to 6/8 bottoms and a small or medium top. I posted in another thread earlier that I volunteer a lot at my girl's school- a lot of people haven't seen me since may. I have lost maybe 20lbs since may, but EVERYONE has commented on my weightloss- it's as if the other 80lbs never existed! It's crazy to realize that a 5lb loss now brings out bigger clothing and outside "audience" reactions than before! I'm also 4'11- so 5lbs on me is a little different than 5lbs on someone who is 6' or even 5'6!
