Losing pounds but not inches??

I cant figure this out- I've lost 42lbs but I'm only down one size! That doesnt make sense does it? I started at at 227 and size 18, this morning I'm 185 and still in a 16! 14s arent even close to fitting yet... Rebecca

I know how you feel! I've lost 41 plbs and I'm only down a size. Some of my jeans that I've been waiting to wear are still tight in the stomach. It's probably because I'm not exercising like I should be. Who knows!

You know, that could be my problem, too- I rarely get to exercise since my surgery... I have good intentions, but my hubby is gone for 2 more weeks and I dont have anyone to watch our kids for me to work out... All the exercise I get right now is chasing kids around! Rebecca

Rebecca... I have lost 40 lbs and exercise everyday...I have lost 2 or 3 sizes at this point....I am not trying to discourage you....but the exercise is what has made the difference for me....have you ever heard of Walk Away the Pounds...it is something you can do at home and I don't think you need a treadmill...just an idea...I know how hard it is with kids around....I am single so I don't have time constraints with my exercise and stuff....

Rebecca don't complain!! we started almost the same and you've lost so much more than me!! I have only lost 30lbs and still wear my size 20 jeans...AND I exercise at least 4 times a day.... So be happy...! it will happen sooner or later....
