I'm so disappointed!!!?

I went clothes shopping today, and I was so excited because I have been working really hard at losing weight by eating healthy and exercising. The scale says I've lost about 12 pounds, so I was eager to go shopping and get a few new clothes. EVERYTHING I tried on was still too small and I haven't gone down a size at all! I'm still in the same stupid size 16s that I've always worn. I'm so upset. I know there are more important things in the world to get upset about, but I'm really disappointed. I thought I would have gone down at least one size. It makes me feel like saying forget it all and quit dieting and exercising, it's not doing any good anyway.To those who have lost weight, how many pounds did it take for you to go down in size?

You're doing a good job- keep at it. To drop a size, you usually need to drop about 20 pounds, so you're nearly there.
