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 :)

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!
