How do Clothes fit after weight loss?

First of all congrats on the loss! My waist has shrunk but no so much my legs. I find that size 14 is too big, but a 12 can be too tight over my thighs. I just go with - its better to have them a little baggy than too tight. I am just trying to wait until I get to my goal weight and then buy new clothes, the one I have now will have to do. What I am not looking forward to is having to buy new bras and underwear as that can get very expensive! I am sure my boobs will start to shrink soon

My jeans are loose in the waist but not in the butt - I'm wearing an 8, but once this rear of mine shrinks I'm gonna jump on some 6s. I think awkward-fitting clothes are one of those things we have to live with while we are doing the losing, since fat leaves different parts of the body at different times.

It's definitely a struggle while in progress! I'm in between an 18 and a 20 right now...my 20's are falling off my butt but the 18's are still a little tight and unflattering. I finally found a pair of 20's in my drawer that fit ok in the waist, sadly they are giant flares which I don't love but they are staying on my butt and I refuse to buy any more clothes this size. I'm trying to fit into the 18's because I have a closet full of them...but hope to not stay in that size very long!

Maybe try some different brands and fits? You might look into a slim or skinny cut of jeans or pants (or capris/shorts!) if your thighs are that much smaller--show em off!

I went from a 24 to an 18W with 35 lbs gone. I find that walking is the best way to even out the weight loss and redistribute the fat and muscle in equal places. Of course, it all depends on how you were shaped before. I've always been "true to size", even at a 24. Think of how clothes fit before and that might be an indicator of how they'll fit. I agree...better baggy than tight. This way you'll be sure to avoid that camel toe lol

i just wear the smaller size... i know it will fit in a few weeks!!

Wear skirts or dresses. That solves that problem.

I find they're the easiest to keep wearing as I lose weight. The strange leg / baggy butt combo doesn't happen with skirts.

I needed another pair of jeans a couple months ago but didn't want to spend a lot. I found a pair of Paris Blues (not the highest quality, but cute and cheap) for $12 at Ross. They tided me over when I got too small for the 22's while I was passing through the 20's (almost too big now). It stinks having to pay money for clothes that aren't going to fit very long. But I recommend Ross/T J Maxx if you have to get something and don't want to break the bank for something you might not wear very long!

Think about the cut of your pants--are they straight leg or skinny? You might want to look for something with a flare or a wide leg, depending on the rest of your body. That will solve the hips/legs issue.

I started at a size 10, but now am a 6 in pants. I still have some work pants that are 10s, and I can't really buy a new work wardrobe, but the 10s will still stay on my booty. Definitely didn't lose that.

I think my bust went down a size, from around a 12 to a 10, and I can wear a 10 or 8 in dresses now. I lost a lot of waist weight, but kept the curvy parts.

Keep Old Navy in mind-- not the best quality but I've gotten some cheap work basics there, and they have weekly sales. This past weekend, shorts were on sale, and I picked up three for about $15 each.

I used to dread the dressing room, with its fluorescent lights and some severe body dysmorphia, but now I'm pleasantly surprised. Congrats on your own loss!

I wear a size bigger in my waist than I do in my thighs as of right now.
Since I'm losing weight I've been going to Walmart and Tjmax for jeans because I don't want to spend a bunch of money on clothes that are only going to fit me for a month at the most.
Another good thing to do is to donate all your fat clothes to Good Will or another charity. :happy:
