What clothing size did you finally settle into?

Im 30 years old and had open WLS on 08/05/02. I started at a weight of 391 and a height of 5'8". Im just over 6 months post op and have lost a total of 145 pounds so far. My goal weight is 160 so obviously I have a ways to go yet. Right now Im frustrated because Im on a plateau (no weight loss in a month). Im wondering, for those of you who started out at similar stats, what was the clothing size that you finally ended up with. I have a large body frame and my smallest clothing size ever was a 12. That was when I was in grade school. Currently Im a size 18. But, it seems like I'll never get any smaller. I'd love to reach a size 14 and have bought some shorts for the summer that are that size. It just seems like they are soooo small. Do you think Ill ever achieve this. I dont think my body will ever squish into something smaller than a 14. Plus, I have a lot of excess skin already in my stomach area adn Im afraid that's going to hinder me from getting into smaller sizes. What do you think?
