I was interested to read a few posts here over the last few weeks about people who have lost loads of weight but their dress size either hasn't changed or has changed very little so I thought I'd start a post to see what the general consensus is.
Personally I started at size 22/24 almost 4 stone ago and although I'm wearing size 18 (top and bottom, although not fitted tops heh) my old size 22/24 jeans that I was wearing at my heaviest still fit me O.O
I really don't understand too much what's going on but here's my theory. Firstly I think we forget how tightly our clothes used to fit. I know for sure that I was reluctant to go up another dress size so although my old jeans still fit they are probably much looser now than I remember (and the legs are just so big they are a joke now hehe). Also, my old jeans are stretchy but my new ones aren't. I put my new jeans up against my old ones and they are the same size at the waist but completely different dress sizes (bought from teh same store too interestingly enough).
This doesn't clarify the great mystery but it's indeed curious. So, just to summarise, I started at 24 tops and 22/24 bottoms and am now 18 top and bottom (apart from fitted tops) and have lost 1lb short of 4 stone. How about you guys?
