Sizes clearly mean nothing

So i am happy to announce that i am 2lbs away from loosing 50lbs this year!!!! But how in the hell am i still in the same size clothes at 178 that i was in at 226? Now there is a difference in how they fit ( i can breathe) , but i thought by now i would ease down at least into a tight 12...Oh well i dont care that much as long as the scale keeps moving. Did anyone else stay in the same size for a long time ?

  • At 316, I'm wearing the same clothes I was wearing at 442. They are only now just started to get loose enough that I might be able to squeeze into one size lower in some things and I can wear non-stre

  • As someone said above... The sizes have much more wiggle room the higher you go. When I was in plus sizes it took about 40-50lbs to drop a size... Then in regular sizes the double digits were more li

    Yes, I agree about the larger size clothing having more wiggle room. And I didn't realize how uncomfortable and tight my original cloths were either. Also, try clothes that are a size smaller anyway.

Does anyone else seem to notice that the weight comes off from top to bottom? My face seems thinner and unfortunately so do my boobs but not my badonk-a-donk! My clothes are more comfortable but no decrease. I have tried to increase my walking and bike riding to try to help.

Ugh no. Weight came out of my butt right away. The last place I wanted to lose.

I'm eager to wear fitted clothes to show off my loss and because I think they just look better but it's HARD. Not wearing stupid generic plus sized clothes anymore has reminded me how difficult it is to dress as a really short curvy woman. If I had more money to blow I would have everything tailored even as I lose. Nipped at the waist. But I have to deal with some ill-fitting or loose clothing for awhile I think.

Best item I every bought while I was losing? A dress clip. It cinches in items at the waist by clipping it to to spots in the back. Got so much more wear out of clothing and it made it flattering!

Search on Amazon and you will see them. In a pinch a mitten clip works too

I'm looking on Amazon but confused. Tell me more please. Does it go outside your clothing or underneath? Thank you.

Outside. This is the one I have but there are lots of styles:

Evelots Antique Swirls With Crystals Sweater Clip, Stylish, Cardigan Collar Clip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017O3XP7A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ov14xbEFTTTQX

Interesting! Will try it out. Thank you!

I agree it took forever to go from a 24 to a 22 but 22 to 16 was really much quicker total of 96lbs lost
