New size clothes?!?!?!?

I have one of the most frustrating problems when losing weight.....
I can't buy (well....fit) smaller sizes!!!
Now most reading this would just say, well then you're not losing weight, DUH! My problem is between two things. Naturaly wide hips. (No I have not had any children) and DD size chest. Neither of these truly shrink. I am 6'2 and have really big bones. So even though my arms are toning, my waist is whittling away, my thighs are awesome now, and my butt's smaller. I still can't wear jeans smaller than 16 because of my hips or shirts smaller than large (XL in most cases) because of my breasts, Talk about a headache!!!
Anybody else have to deal with this or something similar?
Feel free to laugh, in fact its good for the abs so i encourage it! :laugh:

    My shirts remain a XL as well due to having a large chest! It is hard to find shirts that aren't huge in the armholes and hang off me that can accomodate the ladies as well.

    I've often heard people say they've lost a size per 10 pounds but that has never been true for me. While my clothes are much looser, I'm not ready for a new size yet????

    It took me almost 30 lbs before I needed new clothes and when I went shopping I was actually down 2 sizes. Odd how things like this happen! Keep at it and you will drop a size!

    I feel your pain. Good job with the whittling away you have done everywhere else! I've only got one D, but my boobs are a problem too. I tried this dress on a few days ago and a L fit fine EXCEPT in the chest area. I've lost 3 inches there and its still a problem. Sometimes I hate being well endowed. lol. Its gotta get smaller sometime, right?

    I started out size 14 jeans/DD chest...40lbs later, I'm down to 12 jeans and a D chest (and trust me, I'm not overly thrilled with losing a cup size before losing more in my waist!) I also have really wide hips. I can fit into a size 10, but it doesn't look "right" on me yet. Remember too that your chest is mostly fatty tissue, so if you have a lot to lose, eventually you'll start losing there as well.

    40lbs is a long way to go just to drop 1 dress size, so trust me, I totally feel your pain...keep at it though and I promise you'll be in a smaller size in no time :)
