    Sounds to me like your "old clothes" may have originally been on the small size if you aren't loose in them currently. You have lost a ton of inches from your body, your clothes should be looser. I'd say pat yourself on the back and be ultra proud and go shop around and see if the new clothes in the stores are the same size as your current stuff or not. Then buy something new anyway :p

    Good luck with strength training, it'll definitely look good :)

    By your measurements and weight loss, it seems like you should have gone down a size. Just from my personal experience, I have lost 20 pounds and I seem to go down a pant size every 10 pounds that I loose. This might be a dumb question, but have you tried on a smaller pant size, or are you just going by the way your current clothes fit? Strength training will help because it will help tone you up. Also, running makes you leaner, so that would help, too.

    Im wearing the same ones I started with, I can tell they fit a little looser but not enough to justify a size down. :/ What do you recomend for strength training? I have no idea where to even begin or what to do.
