I hate to complain but I'm really confussed

I had surgery in May of this year and have lost 50lbs. I started out at a size 16 and am now into a 6. Sounds great but I'm still at 162 lbs. I am 5'5. This doesn't sound right. I have been at this weight before but I was in a 12 or 10. Have sizes changed that much? I am exercising 2 to 3 days a week but I still have a lot of sagging skin on my legs and tummy. I'm just wondering what size I will continue to shrink to.

Hmmmmm makes you wonder how much skin weighs doesn't it.....Sounds like you have done great though!

You have done very well at the weight loss and let me tell you I also lost around 50 lbs I am teetering with 7 lbs up and down and only went down from a size 20 to a 18 and on a good day a 16. So be very happy! Im 5'6 and started at 247 I also had my surgery in May. Goodness I cant wait to get close to that size!

It's all about body type. I always seem to "weigh" heavier than I look. People are surprised when I tell them my weight. I have lost 70 lbs and I am 5'1". I went from a 20 (pushing a 22). I am currently in a 14-16 and weight 167 lbs, and could still lose about 20-30 lbs. So, I don't ever think I will be in a single digit size, which is ok with me. I feel great and I am so happy. ~~Betsy P.S. My surgery was May 7th.

I too have wondered about this. I have lost 63 lbs and currently weigh 143. I am 5'2" and wear a size 8. 15 years ago I was down to this weight and could wear a size 8 in Lee jeans. I think alot of the sizing now has to do with if they have a little spandex in them or not. I have never in my adult life or even my teens been lower that that size 8 and I am curious to see where this journey will take me and I hope where ever I end up that I will be able to maintain it. I would be happy right where I'm at if I can maintain here. Hugs, Sue

Hi Lisa, You are probably losing inches like crazy. Some people lose more inches then actual weight and then all of a sudden you will see a big weight drop. You are probably built different then you were before. I know my body has changed shape since having children and getting older (I am 60 years old) and I can get into clothes that I couldn't when I was younger yet I weigh more now then I did then.
