    I'm 5'9 and wear size 12 jeans comfortably and a 10 tight. Currently I am at 192, and when I was at 160 I wore a size 6 comfortably... when I lost weight the first time... no lifting, just strictly diet.

    I do a lot of heavy lifting now, when I started at 207 lbs and down to my current weigh of 192, I can start wearing a size 10 somewhat comfortably. Before when I lost the weight fast, I would drop 8-10 pounds and fit into a new size. Now, being 15 pounds down, I have only just now started fitting into a smaller size comfortably.

    Of course I have been blessed with large thighs that are super stubborn, so that makes it harder for me to really judge how much weight I need to lose per size, since the majority of my inches down as a result of weight loss have mainly come from my torso, verses legs.

    Sizes must be very different where you are. I'm 5'10" and 190lbs and I wear a size 16. I reckon I'd have to be about 150lb to fit a size 10-12

    I am 5'7", and am about a 10, at 150 lbs. I would think that at 150, you would be about a 6 or 8.

    Not in Australia. I don't even think you can buy a 6. 8 is the smallest (unless you shop in the kids section).

    Oh I didn't realize you were somewhere that had different sizing. That explains it then!

    I find that the smaller I got, or closer to goal, the fewer pounds I had to lose to change a size.

    When I was near 190lbs, I could still wear the same pants 20 lbs lighter. As I got closer to goal, I found that sizes changed in the 5-10 lb range.
