weight is coming off, but pants size is stuck

the weight is coming off, but it seems like i have been stuck in a size 18 pants forever. (more like 3 months) I can wear some 16s but what is it about the size 18, it just wnts to cling on and on. I will feel better when 14's take over.

Tanya, I know how you feel, I was stuck on 18's for what seemed like forever then all of a sudden I skipped 16's straight to 14's and yesterday I got into a 12. Just remember, not all sizes fit the same it will vary by manufacturer. I can wear a 14 but my favorite shorts are 18, it just varies. Hang in there it will be here before you know it Take Care Kathy

Hi, Oh my gosh, someone who knows exactly how I feel! I have hit a really bad plateau and I am stuck in an 18 also. It seems like I went from 28 to 18 and I am not going any futher. Keep us posted on what helps you. Rhen

Think that is bad? Well, I refused to go into the 30's for pants, (although I had a few pairs there) so I just had so many clothes that I couldn't wear. I'm still wearing things that I had in the beginning of this journey - although I realize most I couldn't fit into then. But the worst part was that I had my "skinny" pants from when I lost weight on Atkins (down to a whopping 265 at one point). I finally shrunk out of those and was thinking "YEAH! I shrunk out of my 24's!" Uh-huh. Not a chance! The jeans were 26's as well the the houndstooth pants I was wearing. Granted they are wayyyyyyyy too baggy on me now, but I was not happy about this discovery! I am wearing a 2x pretty much (comfortably) and was able to squeeze into a size 20 last week where it didn't look too awful. But I still have a ways to go for that to be a size that really works for me. Dina

Thanks you guys, you all made me feel better!!! I hope wse all get into the smaller sizes soon!!

Yeah, I thought 18's were forever. I find the sizes are not changing as fast as the poundage. But, I too have had one of those sudden "pops" where I'm well down into the 16's. But I dread staying in those like the 18's -- hope I don't. I sort of thought I'd be closer to my final size by now. I don't know why I thought this, I just found it hard to understand the time vs. pounds vs. sizes possibilities. So, sigh, I guess it's spring for really being at some kind of final size, or maybe late winter. It's good to see that others are having this experiences. Some of the things I read made it seem easier, I'm not sure why. Gano
