So, I have lost 10 pounds, and my inches have changed dramatically, but I am in the same size pants!!! Only now the size doesn't have a giant W after it and can be purchased in with the 'normal' clothes!!!

    I used to work for Lane Bryant. An 18w is cut with more room than a regular 18. So technically you did go down a size. Congrats!!

    i was just thinking the same thing. i've lost 11 pounds, several inches, but my pants seem to fit the same.

    I did notice that my arms are slimmer and my shirts are fitting better over my buddha belly. hmmm?

    That is so great! Keep up the great work!! A few years ago I started eating really healthy and running I didn't lose much weight honestly, but I went from a size 18 to 12 / 14. You can't always measure success by the scale, but it sounds like you are shedding the pounds and the pants sizes! Congrats!!

    mesch and glittermouse - I've heard the first place you gain is the last place you lose - so for me, that's my hips/butt. I lost over 4" off my waist and was still in the same size pants b/c of that (I'd only lost 0.5" off my hips). I'm down 20 lbs and am just now able to go down a size in pants (although I've gone down 1, maybe 2 sizes in shirts! :D). So hang in there, you WILL lose!

    I was the same way! Through about 20lbs lost actually. I noticed my shirts fitting better and my feet were slimmer and my wedding rings were getting too big. Then my nurse mentioned my arms being smaller, while taking my blood pressure haha I lost about 25lbs before I actually felt I went down a size in pants. Now at a little over 30lbs it's closer to 2 sizes down.

    Awesome on the no-more-W! :drinker:

    I was in the same size jeans for MONTHS. But, to be fair, I should have been in 22s when I was squeezing (I have NO idea how) into 18s. So, they actually FIT (lol) for about a month, then I moved into 16s and now 15s. It's gonna be a good day when I hit 14s and an even BETTER day when I'm in 9s or, dare I say it? ...7s. :D

    I'm sort of the opposite. As of today, I've lost 42lbs and gone from a size 22-24 pants to a very comfortable size 16!! =D
    BUT I only went from a 2-3XL shirt to a XL/XXL. So, I've lost 3-4 pants sizes, but only 1 shirt size.
    But I've got to say....I'll take the 1 shirt size loss happily, at least its a loss!!

    Good luck to all of you on your journey!!

    I've lost about 18lbs in the last 3 months and *think* I'm finally down a size. I was wondering what took so long!!!

    My 16s are all big now but I can still wear them with a belt. But this past weekend I went to Kohls and Old Navy and purposely tried on 14's at Kohl's which fit. At Old Navy, 14's were loose so I got into a freakin' 12 skirt. It took a while but I think I'm there!!!

    Congrats to everyone else who is seeing the size change too. I can tell which clothes i thought fit that I probably should not have even come close to trying to wear.

    Its really depends what you else do for loosing your lbs. I do kickboxing 2/week, and almost every day hiking, running for 10 mins, russian twist, push ups, core and yoga. When I start 3 month ago, I was 151lbs and size 8-10. or S for top, and M for bottom. Im not complaining my arms or so, but I have pretty fat belly and around and legs. So, first of all I lost 5 pounds. I was so happy! But then i notice, that weight come back again, still I'm eat helthy food, training and always under calories and carbs limit. After 3 month, today, I wear size 4 desses, and size 6-8 pants, I almost about size 2 dresses, but I again 150.3 pounds!
    My fat transformers into muscles, and they are more havier, then just this terrible fat. I have about 20 lbs extra bad fat at my belly and legs, so, I hope till next summer I will convert this into muscles and will make muscles smaller too.
