I found that I dropped a size about every 20 pounds or so. However, I completely skipped a couple sizes along the way. Sometimes the scale doesn't move but the inches do and sometimes it works the other way around. Don't be too concerned about it. You may find in a couple weeks that 18's fit and then look at the money you saved by not having to buy any 20's. Don't worry, the scale and the sizes will catch up to each other.

Jeans are the toughest. Sizes are all over the place. Try on some size 20 khakis or dress pants. Try on other style jeans. All of them are cut differently. Lane Bryant are the worst for cutting their jeans too small. I wear some 18 or 20's depends on how they fit. Just keep working. It will happen.

I understand exactly how u feel, I have lost 43lbs too and i am down only one size from a 22 to a 20 and not even all 20s fit and I cant explain this and it can be really frustrating cant wait until i can wear a dress size starting with a 1 instead of a 2 comfortably.

For me it is my abdomen that is preventing me from getting into smaller sizes. I can see the weight loss in my feet and my face, but my abdomen is still quite large and it is very uncomfortable wearing pants that are snug in that area. I know that I have lost several inches there, but not as quickly as the other areas of my body.

I've read 20 pounds per pant size...don't worry you'll get there.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
