NSV - down a pant size but zero lbs lost.

I had bought these very comfortable and cheap black dress pants from Walmart about 3 months ago. They were starting to fall apart (cheap), so I decided that I should grab another pair. When I went in, I just grabbed the same pair in the same size 12 without trying them on. When I got home and put them on, I realized they were TOO BIG. I should have gotten a 10!

But I have been at a standstill in my weightloss for the last 3-4 months only losing about 5lbs but still working out and eating right for the most part. I guess my body was still changing in the last 3 months even if the pounds weren't showing.

    google fat vs muscle and you will see why this is. i tried to paste the image here but for whatever reason it isnt working. they may weight the same but muscle is much more dense. Congrats! Ill bet you look fantastic!!

    US or UK sizing?

    Very well done though.

    It would be US sizing.

    Great NSV. it goes to show it's not all about the number on the scale.

    Congrats to you!! I'm having a similar issue with weight loss - only managed to budge 3 pounds in 4 months BUT I'm losing inches all over and can see myself becoming more defined. I know people say it's the inches that matter and not the scales but it's a TAD annoying when the scales don't reflect the results. Anyway I've just changed my macros: increased my protein and decreased fat so fingers crossed this might give my weight a helping nudge :)

    When that happens to me, i think of it as my body adjusting and readying to lose weight.
