    When I lost about 50 lbs in weight, I lost about 10 inches of my waist (from about 38 to about 28) but only about two or three inches off my hips, which are still about 38 inches at 5’5’’ and 138lbs. My hips are just really wide.

    My clothes, in American sizes, are mostly 6s, with some 4s, depending on how they are fitted. A skirt that’s fitted in the waist and loose on the hips, I’ll easily fit into a 4. Low waisted trousers might not fit me at all - combination of wide hips and high natural waist - but if they do, they’d be a 6 or even larger, though they’d be way too big on the waist then.

    Clothes... are crazy. Not all bodies fit into all clothes. I wear pretty small bottoms (4/6) and I still have about 20kg to go to my goal weight, though only 10kg to healthy BMI! I have no idea what size I'll be. But I'm still a medium in tops because I have not lost where I want to lose. ;)

    Of course not. My theory is that fat is a jerk: wherever we want to lose first, goes last. Wherever we don't mind it, goes first. (Fat: "Oh you want slimmer thighs, well, time for your boobs to shrink!")

    YEP. PRETTY MUCH. Lemme tell you, @VUA21, if I could have a stern talking to to my fat... ;););)

    But ehhh, that's what surgery is for. >.> ... <.<
