Ok So I Recently Stretched Up To 7/16th. The Same Day I Tapered Up I Shoved In Some Double Flared Tunnels And 2 Weeks Or So Later My Ears Feel To Be Ready To Stretch Again? They Continually Fall Out And My Ears Feel Really Loose. Should I Go Ahead And Stretch Up Again?

You must wait at least a month. And you shouldn't put in double flares before your ears are fully healed. and plugs arent gauges. these are

I agree with Joni, you need to wait before stretching again and putting double flares in so early was a bad idea.
More than that, the fact that your lobes loosened up like that isn't a good sign. It sounds like forcing double flare jewelry into your lobes did some significant damage. I would highly recommend you go naked for a while to let your lobes heal and tighten up. If you keep stretching like this, you will find yourself in A dangerous position where your lobes aren't getting enough circulation. This will lead to infections, necrosis and lobes tearing through. It sounds like you might already be getting there.
I'd be very careful about what you do from here on out. You could lose everything you've worked to get to. Give your lobes a chance and let them heal and thicken.
One last thing, are you wearing really heavy jewelry? You might want to find something lightweight when you start wearing jewelry again.

Because he tells you what you want to hear? If you take advice like that you will be really lucky if you don't ruin your ears. In stretching, patience is what works!

@nic: I didn't say anything that could be taken as nazi-like. I have seen people with screwed up ears who were going too fast. He asked for advice, I gave it. If he chooses to listen to you, that's on him. If you don't want to read the advice, leave the thread. I didn't make you come here.
