@WLSResources/ClothingExch is absolutely correct. You have to remember that everyone is shaped differently and depending on where you carried your weight, you will have loose skin that effects sizing. And every manufacturer sizes differently.

I wear an 8 in some jeans on the bottom but have to select a 10 in others. I have tried on and fit into a 6. It is so whacked.....you must must must try on everything before you buy it. I used to be in a 26 top and a 24 bottom......big changes in my clothing sizes. I wear either a med or a large or a 10 or 12 on top while my bottom is smaller.

Lastly I would say, while your body is in rest or stall mode, it seems to almost reshape itself. So while I wasn't losing weight, I was losing inches in places and my clothing was getting smaller. It makes no sense to me but that is how it worked. Be patient.

I think muscle has a lot to do with it too. It weighs more, but you look smaller because of it. 2 years ago I lost a lot of weight running. When I was at the same weight I am right now, I looked much smaller. I've been trying to fit into some of those same clothes and they don't fit. I'm fattier than I was then. :-(

When I used to work out all the time, I weight 160 but wore a size 6/8. That was crazy!!! It had to do with muscle mass and tone.
