I am male, 22, and have been loosing weight for a while. I was at a size 42 pants, and went down to a 32. I then krept back up to 34, but was able to get back down to 32. However, those measurements were always with pants, I didn't actually use a measuring tape. Recently I measured my waist with a measuring tape and I measured 37". But my pants say 32... and even a 34 is too large. What am I doing wrong? Do I go by the measuring tape or the pants? I'm confused and discouraged.
