Lost over 60lbs but still the same dress size

[Swimmer 199]

Same thing happened with me I lost a ton and sizes weren't budging at my higher weights. Now a much smaller even five pounds changes my sizes. Once I hit size six or eight on the way down things started moving much faster size wise. You're doing great hang in there.

Above 16 I found sizing really Fluid - stretchy fabrics, plus-size cuts, vanity sizing all likely played a part. I could still wear things across a huge range of weights, though they hung differently.

Below 12 is totally different. Now both fit and overall look change FAST. It’s Instantly obvious what fits and what doesn’t. The cut is much less forgiving, for one thing. It’s a good (though pricey) problem to have.

It’s pretty common. There’s a huge gap between larger sizes. I had to lose about 50 pounds to drop a size when I started and now only about 10 pounds.

Also, a lot of us are wearing clothes that are stretchy, or maybe even a little tight at the beginning of our journeys. So we have to drop huge amounts to get to the next size.

Dont worry, it will happen!

Thanks for your post. However, mine is the opposite. I’m loosing a lot of inches and my sizes are dropping, but my pounds aren’t. I’m 4 1/2 months post. Suggestions please.

Are you perhaps exercising and building muscle?

I used to exercise a lot prior to surgery, but, I’ve only did a little since surgery.

I’m 12 weeks and 55 lbs down. I’ve gone down 1 size but can still wear the same clothes because it was all a little tight. The only new clothes I’ve gotten since surgery have been new work shirts and those are a uniform piece provided by work. So I didn’t buy it

55 pounds in 12 weeks is great! Keep it up!

yep last time I lost a lot of weight I really didn't change sizes until I got to about the 70 mark... its sounds nuts but its true.
