I have this brand new pair of capris that were tight on me just 2 weeks ago. Today they fit perfectly and comfortably!!!!

I'm so excited!!!

So excited for you! I have a box of shorts that are one size smaller and I'd like to think I'll be able to wear some of them before summer is over or at least on a hot fall day! I know your surgery was 5 days before mine, how long did the gas and bloating last for you? I gained weight from the surgery, but I'm assuming it's gas and Water, I'm taking walks to get rid of it and I haven't had anything but liquids since last Monday, so I'm assuming, it will all wash away eventually and I'll see a big drop in the next week or so. I'm not worried about it, but I'd like to see some change in the scale!

Yeah! It took me forever to go down a size.....50 lbs and down from an 18 to a 16....

Good Luck!

My gas pressure just went away on Thursday. I've been feeling really great since then!! Also I stalled out after surgery and didn't see the scale moving until I started eating more calories. I started using skim milk in my shakes instead of Water b/c I was only getting 500 calories a day. More calories definitely helped.

I am the exact same way! People say 12 lbs, but not for me! It's my butt! It takes me about 30-35 lbs to go down a size.

That is awesome. I am down from a 22 to an 18 and they are getting loose. 16s are still too tight. I am hopeful.

Congrats!!!!!! I'm down about 30 lbs and am not down a size yet :cursing: It's ok though My jeans are getting loose...the size smaller is still too small, but my old stretched out jeans (the ones that I was wearing when they were a bit snug) are now loose enough for me to pull them off without unbuttoning LOL

Keep up the good work!!!!

I'm with you, guys!

I've lost 62 pounds and still haven't gone down a size!

I know sizes vary greatly. Does anyone think manufacturers have changed their sizing charts too as we grow more obese as a country?

I was a 14 in HS, 25+ years ago and 100+ pounds ago. At my heaviest I was mostly in an 18. Sometimes a 20, sometimes a 16 due to varying stores and brand, but mostly an 18. I have only bought 1 new pair of pants that is a 16. Anything else new is STILL a DAMN 18 and I am down just shy of 50lbs.

I am a slow user and have always carried my weight well. But when I was 160 lbs. in HS I was a 14. By today's sizing, it would be a smaller #. ODD
