How much weight???
I am having the same thing happen! I finally went down to 18, but I was at a 22 for the first 50 pounds or more. Just the way some of us are shaped too. For me, I'm WAY disproportionate-I'm in a M-L top, and a 18 bottom. Really?! I'm shaped like a pear, so if you're anything like me, that's how it works.
I also think the bigger sizes have more stretch in them, making them fit through several sizes.
You should go shopping, it helps.

I think the bigger you are the longer it takes to switch sizes. It took me about 70ish pounds to switch sizes and I was looking overly baggy. It was bad. Don't be so eager to transition. It's very, very stressful and expensive. Granted, it's fun shopping but get those coupons ready and don't over buy because once you start switching sizes they don't last too long. My first lot of jeans went pretty quick and I damn near flew by an entire size in shirts.
btw, once the sizes start dropping and I gt into clothes that fit, I found that wearing baggy clothes was completely unacceptable so I refuse to keep wearing the clothes so long after they don't fit anymore. It's amazing how properly fitting clothes can make you feel.

Well **** girl! Start playing dress up! My top sizes dropped a lot faster than my bottom. I remember being upset that my sizes weren't changing fast enough at first and feeling like the scale was moving but I must not be losing inches while I was seeing so many other people losing the same amount of weight and changing sizes... but they were also a lot smaller than me.
Are you on the 50+ BMI Board?

It was over 100lbs before I really started to get to the point I HAD to buy new clothes.
I've lost 135 now and it is like over night in the last 15 to 20lbs lost I have dropped sizes. Infact, I just had to start purging clothes today because there were some that just flat out did not fit anymore.
It will happen, just be patient. I know that's easier said than done!
