Hey all I'm puzzled. When I was a size 8 I weighed 135-140 lbs. I am a size 12 now at 165. I can fit some 10's. Whats going on. I'm 5'6 with a Jenny Lopez butt.

Are you in better physical condition now, due to exercise? Muscle, while it weighs more than fat, takes up a lot less space. Also this way of eating burns fat for energy, so when you lose pounds, inches, etc you are primarily losing fat and keeping your lean muscle mass. Cool, huh!

How long ago was it you were a size 8?

I'm noticing that clothes are fitting bigger, but have smaller size labels, than they did about 15 years ago.

Also, it may depend on what brand/designer you're wearing too.

Either way... it's got to be a great motivator to be in a smaller size! Congrats!
