    I've lost about 40 pounds and I still haven't gone down a solid pant size. I'm starting to fit in some of the next size down, but we all know women's sizes aren't exactly consistent either. So my "big" pants are getting to be a bit too big but not unwearable, and I still can't fit into some of the next size down. Does that make sense?

    Makes total sense lol

    Clothes stretch over time. And often, they are too tight when you start too... I was convinced that I hadn't lost a size after a few months, then tried new clothes on (same brand), and I fit in clothes that were 2 sizes under what I was wearing. So don't give up and just keep going!

    (and yes, searches on this site suck).

    Oh I'm definitely not giving up!
    I got to a breaking point where I was so u happy with myself and I had to change. Now I'm eating smaller portions and healthier and working out on a daily basis.
    I can see the changes happening slowly but it's still progress!

    Also even for the same brand, different cuts or jeans or different items (shorts or jeans) may not fit the same at the same size.

    So yeah. Don't worry about size too much. Just find clothes that fit.

    I'm wearing 30" waist pants for the first time in my adult life! I'm 48 they fit well B)

    Biggest mistakes i made:
    15lbs lost - Going from 34" waist to 32" - bought 3 new pairs at this size plus new tops in medium (uk)

    24lbs lost - I have just spent yet again on 30" pants and new tops in small (uk)

    Wished i'd have waited a little longer and saved money :#

    I"ve lost 50 - I can barely squeeze into the next size down. But after losing that much I refuse to wear the bigger size I probably still should be wearing!
