Hello MFP friends,

I wonder when those of you who lost weight started to see changes in their cloths size!
What was your beginning weight? and how many lbs you lost? During that period when you noticed the change?!
What was the change? Size of ring, shoes, pants, bra...ect

Thanks,

Hannah

    I don't remember exactly how many pounds it was I lost when I noticed my yoga pants falling off when I walked. It seemed to happen overnight lol!

    My clothes are fitting better within a week or two. Took a little time for me to get the courage to get on the scale…but..it happens quickly when you exercise. But…I will say. I am trying to keep up with my measurements because those are a great guide, even if the scale is being stubborn.

    Started at an ok fitting size 18. Back into a 16 snugly after 10 lbs down. 13 lbs down and my 16's are getting looser and looser. SW 232, CW 219, GW 155. I only started keeping track of measurements two weeks ago but i've already lost an inch in my hips and two in the waist :)

    Edit: I'm 5'4, 30 years old, started MFP 8 weeks ago.

    SW: 240
    EW: 140
    CW: 163 (22 of those pounds are muscle)

    Bra didn't change much until the end. From 42DDD to 38C. (Now 38D)
    Pants (american) 22 to 6. Currently size 8/10
    Tops: 24 to M
    Shoes: 9 to 8
    Ring: 8 to 7

    In 2 years, I had to completely buy new sets of work clothes 3 times, because everything looked ridiculous on me. Once at size 18. Once at size 14. Then finally size 8.

    As to the when, after about 3 months and 30 lbs, I was NOTICEABLY smaller. Like, thighs rubbed less, more comfortable in movie theater seats, etc.

    I forgot to take measurements before I started working out. I really wish I had, because I think I would have seen a much greater difference.

    I've lost 9.5 pounds so far (7 weeks). I weigh myself daily. I know people say not to do that, but that is more motivation to keep at it (for me). My tops I'm wavering between a Large and Medium shirt, which I was consistently a large before. I haven't yet dropped a pant size yet, but I think the pant issue is more of a mental one than a physical one. I hate muffin top, so I'd rather wear bigger pants and avoid it... But at the same time, my normal jeans and work pants are definitely looser!

    But my whole body has trimmed down. My arms are smaller, my stomach has lost a lot of pooch, my legs are leaner, and my butt has 'perked up' a bit more (for lack of a better term ;) )

    I started eating healthy and exercising on Thanksgiving weekend, I lost 25 lb and 2 dress sizes almost 3 down, I started at 245lb and now 220lb. Bra Cup size hasn't changed (Thank Goodness) but I went from 42DD to 40DD. Usually dropping a dress size is 20lb to me but with exercising i seem to lose more fat

    I'm at a 7 lb loss, so far I have noticed that fastening up my jacket no longer has me sucking in.

    I've gone from a 20 to a 6 (jeans size, same brand - Lee. The 6's give me a bit of a muffin top, 8s are a bit loose). My watch got too big about 4 months ago. My bra size hasn't changed much in the last 4 months either - I went from 38 DD to 34 DDD (so I only lost one cup size really). I haven't tried my rings (haven't worn them in 10 years) but I'm guessing they are too loose now too. Shoes haven't changed.

    I have no idea how my measurements have changed besides one because my friend would always make fun of me.
    In Middle School my bra size was 36 A and now, 5 years later I'm 32 A lol

    A few measurements I remember are:
    Waist - 23 inches
    Hips - 34 inches
    Thigh - 19 inches
    This was from about 3 weeks ago.

    I started at 216, down to 170. only recently I've started dropping clothes sizes, I've gone from a uk size 18 to a uk size 12/14 depending on what clothing I'm wearing.

    i've gone from:-

    46" hips
    35" waist
    43" chest.

    I'm now 43" hips (although can wear UK size 14 bottoms & they constantly fall down cause theyre too loose?)
    31" waist
    39-40" chest.
