I will always be a size 12

I swear.

I wear a size 12 when I'm 150 pounds, and when I'm 191 pounds.

but it probably looks and fits a lot better at 150!

Why care about a dress / clothing size? You must feel better at 150!

it's true, I do feel better. I just wondered if other people had the same thing going on. I work out quite a bit, and I definitely lose inches, but my hips/but/thighs prohibit me from getting into anything in the single digits.

Yep, I am having the same problem. I lost 20 inches and not changing jean size. I am praying it will catch up!

I've lost 50+ on Atkins and a little before starting Atkins. I have lost pant sizes and now am finally in a 10/12 range. But I still have a belly. Mostly the lower belly that won't ever go away without surgery (4 c-sections!).
If I win the dang lottery that surgery is MINE!

I don't seem to be losing anything else in my waist and I'm still losing weight. I think my butt has left the building!

Look at the bright side, you do not have to spend extra money to fit into your skinny pants!

i have that problem too.

my hips are wide so from the side i am shrinking but looking at me from the front i still look the same. some girls have huge stomachs but wear small jeans because their hipbones are narrow.

i've just gotten to accept myself that i will never be streamlined in that area.

ugh i hear you. i think us hour glass shaped girls got the shaft. i have big ole childbearing hips which god willing will never be used for anything but attaching legs to my torso. :P they also prevent me from getting in the single digits. i was a size 11 at age 13 and i was NOT overweight at that age at all...

omg, I didn't know that I wasn't the only one! I was a size 11 also when I was 13. And I was a skinny girl. Yes, it has to be dem hips. And I think that is a good thing. And I think the guys in our life think it's a good thing too....lol.

[DieBlaueReiterin]

if you have guys in your life who think that's a good thing, send them my way!
