| After 7 months on TF I have managed to loose 22.5kg which is great. I was really frustrated though when I went to buy some new clothes to find I had only dropped one size. How do people who loose 6 kg manage to drop 3 sizes or more? The funny thing is that I do obviously look much slimmer so once again I guess it comes down to clothes sizes only being another number. Cheers all best for the week ahead

hey
yep i agree - i've almost lost 8kg and no change in clothes, maybe a slight bit looser but nothing dramatic. no one has even noticed my loss so far and i thought 8kg would show somewhere????
so confused with dress shops coz i can be a 12 in some pants, or 14-16 in others, tops 12 or 14 but yet i am still at least 10 kg from the top of my healthy weight range.
i cant see how much more i need to lose to be a comfortable 12 in everything in every shop. I wish shops were more universal or just went by measurements like guys clothes, then the size is just what it says and cant change.

It does take a while to be able to fit into smaller size clothes, but it will happen, just keep up the great work and you will reap the rewards.  I have gone from a size 24 to a size 12 and am loving clothes shopping

i hear your frustrations and i too believe the sizes should all be the same.. given that the cuts and material would determine how they fit.. but why should we put up with a size 12 thats a size of a size 8.. also has anyone noticed that tops seem to also be getting shorter. I have an apron, had it all my life but i struggle to get tops to come down to my crotch area..and im only 5 ft..I mean wouldnt we buy more clothes if we fit into the same size everytime instead of going up and down sizes?? I mean we wouldnt get down knowing we havent put on weight but yet your up in clothes, it feels grea when something fits and encourages you to try more and buy more

It's all about shape, rather than size. Also depends hugely on the type of clothing you are used to wearing i.e. fitted or not. Some women who don't have alot to lose can lose 6-7kg and drop heaps because they are used to more fitted clothing. It's all relevant, and you've lost 22kg that you no longer have to drag about - that's the most important thing  I've lost 16kg so far - my top has gone down from size 26 to size 20, but my *** hasn't budged! lol... that's life, it will happen. Congrats on your losses so far :O) ......ps, I don't think I noticed any change to the top half until I was past 15kg.....

Congratulations on the great weight loss.
Don't worry about the clothes. How do you feel? Great, I bet. Actually when I was losing lots at the beginning I kept my old clothes and let them be loose. Amazing how good it made me feel and honestly people noticed and commented.
Keep up the good work!
