Lost 27 pounds and wearing the same size?
I had to lose about 40 pounds before I needed to go to a smaller size (things were loose, but not that bad). The more weight you lose and the closer you are to your goal--the sizes drop quickly. I'm at a point now where a 5 pounds loss will result in a smaller size.
keep up the good work! You will need a new wardrobe in no time...and when it happens, you will be down a size every 2-3 weeks.

I haven't lost as much as you, 17 lbs here. You were sleeved just a few days before me. I haven't budged in sizes, but I don't expect to for quite a while. Because I was kinda stuffing myself into the clothes I had in denial and refusal to buy the next size up! So my clothes are just starting to fit more comfortably and I expect it will be another 15lbs at least before I can wear a smaller size. I carry weight everywhere though. Big ol boobs, big legs. Stomach used to stay smaller, but even that caved and packed fat on. My arms are maybe my smaller body parts.
Yes, that's exactly it! I've been stuffing myself into old clothes, refusing to buy new ones. So now the old ones are loose, yes, but to go down a size I probably would be a little stuffed and there's just no reason. If you have a waist that's smaller than your hips you're better off than I am, though! I really am an apple. Eventually I'll be straightish up and down. I never had a waist to speak of, even when I was thin. Which is one reason why I always felt like I needed to lose ten pounds even when I was a teenager, because I had it in my head that it was fat around the middle that kept me from having a Barbie doll waist like some of my friends.

No, my waist is no longer smaller than my hips! LOL. My body shape is hourglass. But..that is relative. It was a large hourglass! lol. And my waiste has grown the last few yrs with more weight gain and now I would say it is egg shaped.

I've lost 135 lbs and am still wearing the same (stretch) pants.
Frankly, the only piece of clothing that I've really had to go down in size for is a bra.
