Don't be disappointed in your clothing size not changing. That is mostly caused because you are tall. I'm 5'9" and though I gained 60lbs I only went up two sizes. I think that is why it sneeked up on me in the first place. Now I've lost 30lbs and only one size is some clothing types.
Try not to compare your clothing size to someone that is 5'3". They will see the clothing sizes come and go so fast!
I'm doing IP with my BoyF's mom and sister who are both under 5'5" and I sometimes get upset to see them shrink from a size 14 to a 8 with 25lbs lost. But they get upset at me because I'm losing weight much faster. Well I have much more muscle mass because I am a much larger person.
Long story made short...don't compare yourself to shorter people. Also look at the accomplishments of the "tall" posters on this board and see what their successes are. You'll find that your successes will match their's a bit more.
Keep smiling and keep going! You can do it!
