Why does everyone seem to drop in clothing size so much faster than me?

So many people talk about dropping in clothes sizes so fast with their weight loss, like 3-4 sizes with a 50 lb weight loss. I'm 5'3" and have lost 100 lbs., but I've only gone down from size 28 to a 24. I must admit there are 2 areas of my body that keep me from a smaller size--my big hanging stomach and my very large calves.
