lost 12 pounds but still same pants size?

So your body will lose fat from where and when it pleases. If you're not doing any resistance training, though, I would recommend you start. This could help you preserve muscle mass and therefore lose mostly fat rather than muscle and fat. This way you should notice more inches lost, and possibly fit in smaller jeans a bit sooner.

It's different for everyone. Sorry there's no definite answer.

I've lost 37 pounds & I'm still the same pants size?

Don't be disheartened, its probably water weight and you will soon start seeing a change in size and shape. You definitely want to start incorporating some resistance training as already stated if you're not already doing this to maintain muscle tone, I learned that the hard way. You also may want to find macros that work for your body type e.g. 50/30/20 (Protein/Carbs/Fat), a higher protein diet will keep you full for longer, reducing Carbs will help with reducing the amount of water your body may store on a high carb diet e.g. and Fats, well you can't cut them out as they're still needed, good fats i.e. Sorry if I'm preaching to the converted..

Keep it up!

I'm sorry to say there is no definite number of pounds per pants size. Everyone is different. I started off at a size 18, took about 10 months (about 50lbs) before I could finally buy clothes in the next size smaller (14/16), but over the next 10 months I went from a 14/16 to an 8. Be patient, keep doing what you're doing and you'll get there.

It is totally different for everybody. It took me from 202.5 to 183 to go from size 16 to 14. Then it took until about 167 to get to size 12. Right now my 12s are really baggy in the butt but because I have a good amount of fat around my middle, I can't go down a size yet.

I lost 25 and am still wearing most of the pants I wore before. They just fit now. :drinker:

It's also going to depend on store/designer and how their sizes are set up. Some stores are better/worse about the vanity sizing than others.

I have lost 32 lbs and am still the same pant size. I am keeping track of inches lost and have lost about 35 inches total overall with most inches lost in my waist and hips but my thighs are refusing to slim down (only 1.5 inches lost). So my pants are falling off in the waist but my thighs are filling them out. I think it really depends on how your body is slimming down.

Pants have sizes? I thought that is what belts were for.

silly boy :laugh:

It is different for everyone. I first lost in the face, hands (yes, my wedding ring is now too big), and chest/arms. Eventually dropped some pants sizes.

I dropped pants sizes super quickly at first when I was quite big. Have not really changed sizes the last 25 pounds or so.

I've lost 20lbs as of today and still wear the same pant size. although they aren't skin tight anymore and easily zip up fresh out of the dryer without having to do squats to stretch them out first.

I've lost 14 pounds and am still in the same jeans, but they do fit a little looser.

here is the thing 12 pounds is a lot of weight loss. I would say it is not only fat lose. You seeing the photos of a pound of fat vs pound a muscle and how much more space fat is. Don't burn the muscle you have. It aids your weight loss.

Also I had done this attempt so much differently that I am fitting in pants 15 pounds more than my second attempt = less fat more muscle from last attempt.
