lost 12 pounds but still same pants size?

I'm down one pants size, but I'm not too worried about that. On the other hand, I'm down 3 shoe sizes now, and I've lost over 30 pounds. (My own numbers show about 36 so far. I had some problems with my bathroom scale that showed me losing weight far more quickly for a while.)

Okay, I"m bragging. Most people don't want to admit they need larger pants than they do, and manufacturers have different sizes. Where your body loses fight is controlled by genetics.

I've lost 50 - not a single pant size. Everyone is different.
