I went into the mall and found some size 16 jeans bought them tried them on when got home and they fit!! Sooo happy but my confusion is that I have been on a stall for over a month and the scale goes up and down 2 and I feel like a failure. I know is part of te process but is hard when you have no support so that is why I come here!!! Just venting by the way I went from a size 22 to 16 and that great for me because I am curvy and even at small sizes before it is a struggle finding jeans.surgery was 8/17/16

Just because the numbers on the scale aren't moving doesn't mean your body isn't doing a tremendous amount of work to become smaller.

Think of stalls as as necessary to your weight loss as sleep is to your overall health.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate and stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process.

Enjoy the size 16 jeans! You probably won't be able to wear them for very long.

Embrace the Stall!

Many people who experience a stall on the scale are still losing inches. That's why it's great to take your measurements regularly. So when the scale is being a bi***, you can go to the tape measure and still see some progress.

During my stalls I would quit weighing and start measuring! I would always lose inches during my stalls and that's usually when I would go down a size! :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
