12 pounds lost and still no difference in clothes?

I can tell you that when I first start to lose weight it tends to come off places like my face and my ankles, chest etc. My waist tends to be the last place I lose it. Maybe take down your measurements of your thighs, waist, chest and upper arms. Keep track of those too. If you are including exercise in your journey then you will see a change in those #s when the scale doesnt move and vise-versa

Good luck on your journey! :flowerforyou:

I agree. Take all of your measurements. I used this website as a guide to help me remember where I should be measuring so that I would be consistent:

Because I just had a baby, I'm measuring the baby belly, too. I've lost the most inches from my waist/belly and none from my bust or calves. Previously when I lost weight, I started out only changing my diet and I didn't see a bit of difference in my body for the first 15 pounds. I usually lost it in the bust first. :sad: The way I've been exercising this time has made a HUGE difference in how I'm losing weight. So, be sure and examine your exercise routine, too. Your body might be telling you that you need to be doing something more challenging or you might just be too critical of yourself! Keep up the good work, though! :flowerforyou:

I lose first in my face, neck, shoulders/collar bones, hands, wrists, feet, etc. Pretty much all the places I feel could wait. :laugh: (Though, I do like my face much better with defined cheek bones!)

I've lost 41 pounds and have only gone down about 1 and 1/2 pants sizes (still in 16s but some are loose), and my shirts are looser but I've not needed to make drastic changes there either (though I admit many were too tight to begin with). It'll come, just be patient and stick with it! Even if you don't get noticable results right away you are still doing something great for your body by getting in shape. That's the most important part!

I really did see my loss in my face, arms and chest (not that I wanted to lose in the chest area!) first. Then the cloths started to feel looser....so you are on the right track. I think another 5-10 and you will feel the difference!
