33 lbs off, but no size down?

Are they the exact same jeans. All jeans have variations in sizing -- even if they are labeled the same size. Regardless of this fact I have had a similar problem. The jeans/pants that I wore over 30 pounds ago still "fit" and are not falling off. I think it may just really depend on where the weigh loss is coming from -- ie -- thighs, butt, stomach, arms, chest....etc.
Hang in ther e-- the important part is that you are dropping the pounds!!! Keep it up.

Couple of things:

1. Did your jeans really "fit" to begin with? I know a lot of us (myself included) wore clothing that was actually too small for a long time.

2. There was a post on this just recently, and the general concensus was that everyone carries weight differently and some of us carry it very evenly....thus you can lose a lot of weight before you see the inches come off towards a new size.

You are doing everything right! Be patient...once the inches come off your wardrobe won't be able to keep up!

2 years ago I lost 40lbs doing WW and Curves ... I did not go down a size but looked overall better and healthier. Keep up the great work!!!

Everyone loses weight differently and you don't always lose weight from all the same area. You've probably lost a little in your thighs, a little in your belly, some from your arms and face, etc. which means your jeans won't be loose yet 'cause you need to lose in your waist, hips, butt, and thighs to drop a full jean size. I haven't technically dropped a jean size yet and I've lost 22 lbs. I've lost a full size and about a half in tops and I've lost two dress sizes since starting... just because of HOW and where I've lost my weight. You should even out, just give it time.

I'm gonna have to agree with some previous posters. It took me FOREVER to go down a size. This is for two reasons I can pinpoint:

1) I was not actually supposed to be squeezing my butt into the size I had been. Seriously - it didn't fit. Who was I kidding? So in reality, I had to go down TWO sizes in order to warrant new clothes.

2) I lost from literally EVERYWHERE before my waist. I lost from my thighs, my butt, my shoulders, arm, neck, etc, etc, etc. Everything was ridiculously baggy on my everywhere but in my waist! So my clothes looked crazy. It looked (as my husband put it) as though some extra a$$es had escaped from my pants. But at the same time I could not go down a size without muffin toppage. My mom loses the same way - this may be genetic.

I'm thinking it took me somewhere between 30-40 lbs to go down into smaller clothes. But if it makes you feel any better, since then I've gone down another two sizes. If you lose like I do, from everywhere else first, closer to the end of the journey it's got nowhere else to come from!

I have lost 34 pounds and I still haven't gotten any new pants but my pants are fitting very differently then they used to. They sit much lower on my hips when the used to sit up at mt waist. As a result of this they now drag on the floor like crazy, but I am just not ready to get new ones yet. Do your jeans have a lot of stretch to them? That could explain why they aren't fitting much differently. Anp pay attention to where they are sitting on your body. Is it different than before? Just my two cents!
