 6 weeks but still wear same size in dresses?? Huh really? Help, I'm so down.. Had to go shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding. And didn't get anything. Walked out discouraged. Has anyone else noticed this? The more weight I lose at what point will sizes drop?  Thanks y'all

 don't get discouraged!  sometimes it takes awhile to drop clothing sizes  (it also depends on your body type).

it took about 50 pounds for me to start dropping sizes (i'm 5'2").   remember that belly fat goes last, too.

don't worry....i've never known anyone to lose a good amount of weight and not change clothing sizes :)

I've lost 29 pounds and my clothes are falling off but when I got to buy the next size smaller, it's still too small. I'm in between sizes.

 Don't feel down, 25 is still an accomplishment. Think of all the good things that are happening to your body internally as a result of your weight loss. I'm down 25, and it's just an accomplishment for me to fit more comfortably into the clothes I was stretching out prior to the surgery.

How much you have to lose before you go down a size really depends on what size you start at.  The bigger the size, the farther apart they are.  For example, when I was wearing a size 20 or 22 (or a 3x), I could probably have gained or lost 30 pounds and not noticed a big difference.  When I was wearing a 6 or an 8, less than ten pounds would make me go up or down a size.

I started at a 22 and it wasn't until I lost about 40 pounds that I noticed a big difference.  I've now lost 53 pounds and am wearing a 16-18.  But a lot also depends on the cut of the clothing and how fitted it is. Just yesterday,  I wore a dress that was a 20.  It is far looser on  me that it was, but because of the styling of the dress, it is still possible to wear.  On the other hand, I have some 18s that are so big they look silly and I had to stop wearing them.

And by the way, 25 pounds in six weeks is a lot.  Congrats on doing so well!

When you get down to your goal weight you will stop losing, but your body may continue shrinking after that.   Lose, then shrink.  Lose some more, then shrink.
