What is wrong with me?????
 
Okay here is the deal! I have been on WW since Jan.7, of this year. I have lost 15 lbs. and I am still wearing all the same clothes! NONE of my clothes fit any different? What is up with that? I thought that it if I lost weight I would be wearing a smaller size. I am really confused by this, I mean am I going to continue to lose weigh and still be the same double digit size?? Whats the point? :moo:

It depends on the ratio of muscle to fat. Most of the weight loss in the beginning is water weight and that doesn't change your size much.

Do some weight/strength training and cardio to reduce the fat and increase the muscle.

BTW I lost 22 pounds with no size change then hit a plateau where the scale didn't budge but I lost 3 sizes.

It depends on how you are put together, too. I've been in discussions with people who drop a size every 10 pounds or so. I personally have lost 30-40 pounds and only dropped one size. I think that is most of your weight is concentrated around the middle you will change sizes faster than if it is evenly distributed or in the lower body, like me.

In the larger sizes, it's going to take more than 15 pounds to change to a smaller size.

It also can depend on how your weight is distributed. My weight is mostly in my lower body and I tend to lose weight up top first. I went down a clothing size in shirts before I did in pants and skirts.

At this point I know I will not lose more on top as I have a small chest, waist and flat stomach, so I am focusing my exercise on my lower body where I really need to lose the inches.

It will happen, I swear it will. I'm down 28.6 pounds, and just today discovered I'm down 2 sizes. But I swear that the size change happened only recently.

I promise, it will happen. I was getting darn frustrated after the first 15 pounds, too!
