You are losing, weight shifting around probably. Give it a few more pounds. Soon your clothes will be swimming on you. Have fun shopping!

Karen, I'm 4 months out and just started buying a few clothes about 3 weeks ago. It's not out of the ordinary -- I was trying very hard not to buy new clothes; however, I didn't have a choice because I'm in front of the public alot and needed clothes to fit. I'm down 6 lbs in 4 months -- you are loosing great -- 2 mths and 55 lbs -- you go girl!

Congrats on an amazing weight loss... I was in the same boat.... as you get out of plus szes the sizes are much closer together... I took me a long time to drop a size but then it seemed like every few weeks I was on to the next. You'll get there....keep up the great work!

wt does shift so that may be a part of it, also (and not to sound rude), but your clothes were probably too tight to start with so you may have had some room to loose before they become way too big. i know i have been on a supervised wt loss plan since feb and after losing 11 lbs some of my clothes are just now fitting properly. good luck and you may be one of those people where everything seems to fit one day and the next day they are falling off. you are doing great just keep up the good work. hope this helps, holly

I think the heavier you are the more you have to lose to go down sizes. I started at 369 (size 32), and It was a good 80-100 pounds before I got into some new clothes. But when I got down to a size 10, if I lost 8-10 pounds I would go down a size. And after I had a baby I had 4-6 pounds left over but I couldn't get back into my pre-pregnancy jeans. And I am pregnant again (was only un-pregnant for 3 months--so I didn't have a chance to lose the extra 4-6 pounds, I like to say I am reusing them for this baby--LOL)

That's GREAT! I'm 6 weeks out and only lost 26lbs. Please tell me what you are doing because I'm getting very much discouraged.

Wow! 55 pounds in two months is exceptional! You are doing great. Give it time for your weight to shift around.
