I lost 35 before I finally had to move out of my 24's and low and behold I skipped a size and went into 20's. I'm in 18's now and down 72 lbs.

I read somewhere that for plus size clothing depending on height that the difference between sizes is typically around 25-35 lbs... and that standard sizes are around 10lbs between sizes...

Don't feel bad...I am down almost 50 pounds and still wearing my 28s. They are loose on me, but not loose enough to justify throwing away. I keep thinking 'what the heck did they look like BEFORE'

I'm down 40 lbs from my highest weight & still wearing my size 26 pants. They are ponte pants with elastic waistband & like you they are loose but not loose enough to get rid of & like you I'm wondering how bad did I look in these before losing weight???!!! Lol

I think it's because when your overweight, your always trying to squeeze into a size smaller than what we are... So when we lose it takes longer to get to that smaller size!!

I know that was my problem! My pants were ready to burst preop! Sadly, the day I officially decided to take this journey I was at the store picking up Vitamins and while trying to decide if I wanted regular ones or some weight loss formula I knocked down an item accidentally... when I bent down to pick it up my pants completely split up the butt... talk about a sign!

I'm only down 30lbs but floating in my size 20 and 18 pants. Found some 16s in the back of the closet some fit done loose trying to make do instead of buying...switched to dresses seems they work out better in this transition....seems I was a clothes hoarder, good thing I have assorted sizes...

Lol.. Yeah I've split a few myself. I wear scrubs at work and my pants were getting so tight I had to get stretch pants!!

I feel ur pain....pre op wt 310, current wt 245 & I ca still wear the same jeans!!! Wth is that?? As far as scrubs, they are a little less forgiving & I have had to go down a bit but most of my 2X stuff still fits - just adding an undershirt to the wardrobe!

I find I'm losing weight in my butt and legs. , stomach, not so much. Pants are big everywhere, but the waist.
