in Health and Weight Loss
When I started I was wearing a 22 pants and now I can fit into an 18. Just trying to figure out how many pants size that is. And needing more help my hubby seems not to notice. And a few friends on her including my sister being one I don't have alot of support.

    If your hubby hasn't noticed, it is honestly likely he never cared about your weight in the first place (which should be a heartwarming thing to think about).

    I am not very familiar with women pant sizes... seems like craziness to me. Guy pant sizes make so much sense... waist x inseam.

    You've gone down 2 sizes. 22 - 20 = 1 size, 20 - 18 = 1 size. Very well done!

    Ok, realistically it's 2 sizes but I swear on all that is good in the world, when you transition from a regular 18 to a plus sized 20, it actually feels like 3 size worth in there. I've fluctuated between a regular 16 to the plus 20 and there is way more size between 18 and 20 than 16 and 18. If you have size range, layer them from largest to smallest and you'll quickly see what I mean. Then again, I might just be crazy! (Honestly, my husband doesn't notice a difference between me in 18 or 20 but he finally clued in at 16.)

    In the UK it think two. One size to get down to a 20, another to an 18.

    Also, your husband might have noticed but not be sure what to say, my husband is always worried he'll insult me if he mentions my weight lol, even if it's a positive thing

    Don't get discouraged - remember that you are doing this for yourself and it is a process that takes time! No one noticed mine or my husby's weight loss until we lost 40 pounds.

    You're doing great! Thirty pounds/ two pants sizes is amazing! And I agree with the fellow above who stated that your hubby probably never noticed or cared about your weight. My hubby never brings it up with me, so I admit, I fish for compliments a little bit. But I know in my heart of hearts that he never noticed the extra pounds. I think I look the same to him whether I'm at 143 or 186 or 201. No matter your situation at home, you can always seek support here. Add friends with similar home circumstances and goals. I have some amazing cheerleaders here that I will probably never meet in real life.

    Ahhh when you throw the plus-regular size thing in the mix, yeah. Who the heck knows!!!

    Thanks everyone for the support. So I was right about 2 pants sizes.
