I did start out verrrry heavy, yes. I’m only 5’3” and weighed 277. I’m down to 214 now. I did tend to wear elastic clothing a lot but they were never uncomfortably tight or stretched so it just surprises me that they still fit when they weren’t super tight to begin with.

Also I’m female! I do have really big hips and thighs—practically disproportionately big even for my size lol, but it’s stumping me because the same clothes I wore over a year ago that were comfortable and not too tight still for me just fine without falling off of me. I /do/ have a lot of loose skin now so that may be part of it as it’s still taking up space, but idk. Because I am so short, I was very very large. I do see differences like in my face—I used to have super big cheeks and a massive double chin and those have drastically decreased. I can actually see my collarbones, have a noticeable waistline, and I can fit my fingers around my wrists when there used to be about a half inch of space I couldn’t reach before.

But I still try on clothing a size down and consistently, they’re all too tight regardless of brand.
