That is so insane to me! Has ANYONE ever had that sort of loss? I'm currently at 18 lbs down and still wearing the same clothes that I was 18 lbs ago...they just fit a little different.

Has anyone had that sort of result?

    That is fantastic!! This is my 4th venture on weight loss and I've never had such luck in losing the sizes, just the weight going down. My most effective was that I lost 40 lbs and 2 sizes

    I lost about 25lbs and only went down one size. I lost a lot from my face first and my back so I didn't go down in clothes that quick. Everyone is different.

    I've lost nearly 50 and only 2 pant sizes, first I noticed was at 25lbs down. I hold all my weight in my midsection, I hope it falls off soon! Great job on your loss!

    i have lost 42lbs so far and have gone down one size but i can also still fit in the clothes i wore before i lost the weight. its really annoying because you think that you lose all that weight you shouldnt be able to wear the same clothea.

    when i first lost my initial 40 pounds , i went from size 18 to 14 ad my workout consist of a lot of cardio and weight training. i think sometimes what happens, is that i gain muscle and it push fat forward . so i ended up not loosing a lot of inches. it takes time to go down in sizes, but it is sooo worth it , now i am trying to loose another 40 pounds :)

    I've lost 15lbs & haven't went down one size. My pants are getting baggy though. When I started at a size 16 I was actually pretty close to not fitting in them anymore so that could be why.

    On the plus side- no more muffin top! :laugh:

    lol... I think I went down 2 sizes by the 20lb mark.. however now (87lbs gone) I went from a size 24 jean to a size 12 jean. Inches vs Weight loss vs body type is what it is, I think...

    I know that I crammed my booty in to my favorite jeans 30 lbs. heavier!!! (16 lbs. ago.) It was tough, and I tore the loops off, but I did it!! I was miserable and my outing was short, but I did manage. Every pound gets easier. I have bounced from a size 14 pants to a size 10 pants from 160lbs. to 193 lbs. and the size 14 was tight. Right now, I am probably in a size 12....at 177lbs. It is the summer so I wear a lot of shorts that are labeled "large" so I can only tell you that my size 10 levi's fit very tight ( my favorite jeans ) but like I said, every pound gets easier.

    I am like you- I have lost 15 pounds and my dress size still hasn't changed. Although, my pants are crazy baggy, but I am just not 100% comfortable in the next size down yet.

    I have lost 60lbs and I went from an 18 to a 8/10. I didn't buy any new clothes till I was a 12. I have a few 10's now but they are getting big. 8's are just a bit snug.... or at least the ones in my daughters closet are, but they are teenage clothes so I figured I could wear a normal 8.

    For me, 10 lbs is usually a pants size. 38 lbs down and I've gone from a 16 to an 8 (and I can just... barely... squirm into a size 6 :laugh:).

    For most women of average height, 14lb roughly translates to 1 dress size. Of course there are exceptions to this, but 5lb per size seems a tad unlikely.

    The first weight I lost was around my hips, so it was natural for my pants to go down quickly. 20 pounds on a small frame is a ton. :(

    I'm 20lbs down and stuck between sizes :-( My bigger clothes fall off when I walk without a belt, but tighter clothes don't fit yet...

    For me, 25-30 pounds equals one pants size. Part is just the way my body is built and part is because I'm 5'10" and it takes longer to show on me.
