How long till you saw a change/needed new pants size

Depends how much you have to lose. I'm at 20 lb and still fit fine in my jeans (just a couple of them are starting to fall, but in the back only).

Funny you ask this - I had a COMPLETE meltdown last Friday after taking a picture and comparing it to December 14 and I saw NO change (after 26 pounds). My pants are still tight, not as tight as they were - they were cutting off my circulation, but they are still tight. But, after my meltdown, that I shared on here, everyone was so supportive and asking me how did I feel? Did I feel better (because I have lost 26 lbs)? And I do, the changes will come, and for that reason, I shall push on and you shall too! Best of luck. Hugs!

Alot has to do with your height too, losing 14 pounds on someone who is 5'1 looks completely different than someone who is 5'10, like the one guy said it's more like a percentage of body fat

I'm down 14lbs.
I still see no change in the mirror, and only small changes in pictures.
I've lost inches because Ive done 30 day shred once, and im repeating it again.
I still cant even fit into pants I bought less than 6 months ago that fit.

How long until you all saw changes and were able to fit into your clothes again?


I heard around 20 lbs?

I've lost 45 lbs and see no difference. I still wear the same size pants, although they apparently fit differently (I can't tell, but others tell me they do).

Just go by how you feel!

This is very individual so it will depend on your body composition, height, shape, etc. My mom dropped a size after 15 pounds, but she's short. I'm taller and even though I lost 25 pounds total I never dropped a size the entire time. I finally only dropped a size after my doctor put me on an elimination diet for digestive problems and I stopped eating gluten and dairy. I didn't lose any weight, which is good because I'm on maintenance, but I dropped from a solid size 8 to a loose size 6 within 2 weeks. My doctor said it was probably due to the bloating being gone. :flowerforyou:

ETA: So even though I lost a significant % of body fat during my weight loss, my abdominal bloating from food allergies kept my pant size larger than it should have been. So to answer your original question, I guess that means that if I had been normal and not had gluten/casein bloating, it took me 20-25 pounds to go down a size.

At about 13 pounds down and I can JUST squeeze into the one size smaller pair of pants that I bought for 'inspiration.' It was incredibly discouraging, I know weight loss takes time but of course I want to see results. My current jeans fit, just not in the butt. At all. But if I keep up at it I'll be fitting comfortably (or they'll be too big!) into my 'inspiration' jeans by the time my vacation comes around in August-eyes on the prize.

I set aside some pants too! Cant get a leg in them, haha!!
I too have a vacation coming, in June. So hopefully if not a different size pants, than a better body shape.
Or at least looking better in pants.

Yes! It's not the size that matters so much as the way your body looks in clothes. Even if you don't lose a size, you're sure to have a nicer body by then!
