Witsh me it takes about 15 pounds to drop a size.

You could be losing from all over your body, not one spot first, in which case it'll take a little longer to see the differences!

Congratulations on your loss!!! Way to go!!!

The reason could be, as RA said, that it's "spread out" all over your body so it'll take a little longer to lose some serious inches. Also it could take 15-20 lbs to drop a size. Don't get discouraged, you're doing great! Maybe add some more resistance (weights) to your exercise routine to build more muscle, which is denser, and burns more calories than fat.

Even if they're not feeling any bigger, could it be that they're looking better, fitting less snug, and not as tight in some places?

I second the weight loss all over idea, and weight training as well.

[shrinkingchica]

Yup. It can take a lot to lose a size along with the other things these ladies mentioned.
But don't forget....... the scale doesn't lie! You have done great! Just keep on at it!

Way to go on the 15 pounds. Like everyone else said you are probable loosing weight all over and that is why you have not dropped a size.

I personally found that it takes a lot more then 15 pounds to drop a size. I've lost 98 pounds. When I started I barely fit into a 22 dress pants, now I fit into a size 16 dress pants. So that averages that is 25 pounds a size. When i started I comfortably fit into a xxl t-shirt or 18/20 fitted shirt (like a sweater from lane bryant), now a xl is loose on me and I comfortable fit into a 14/16. So that is 50 pounds on shirt sizes.

I know that everyone is different but I thought my personal experience might help you. Keep up doing the good work and eventually the sizes will drop!

Thanks so much ladies!!!!!

I will start doing more resistance training. I have been slacking in the dept.

Thanks again for all of your well wishes!!

Maybe you've forgotten how tight they were when you started and now they fit correctly instead of being big.

I have the same problem and you guys just gave me a light bulb moment! I used to squeeze into a size 16 and now I can comfortably wear a 14/16. Congrats on losing 15 lbs!
