Ladies between 5'4 and 5'7 who successfully lost weight, I am curious how many pounds did it take you to go down a size (US)? I am trying to picture what size will I wear at my goal of 125-130lb. I am 5'5.5, currently 150lb and wear size 8 or 10, depending on a brand. I don't do any lifting or meaningful resistance training.

Sizes really depend a lot on how weight is distributed, though. My daughter is at least an inch or 2 shorter than I am and weighs the same. She wears a size 12, sometimes 14. I wear a size 14 or 16, most comfortably 16. I don't understand this at all, but it's true.
This is the reply that I got when I entered my data. I guess that I am a special or an awkward snow flake

Maybe you are, indeed, a snowflake. Think of it as a good thing.
Thank you for this link! I'm always uncomfortable posting that my maintenance weight is around 155 since it sounds so much higher than the weight posted by other maintainers. But these photos confirm that 155 is a reasonable, maintainable weight for my body type and puts me at a size I'm comfortable wearing.
However I usually have to go up a size for trousers, and get to go down a size for flared skirts - I have big hips and a small waist.
ETA: I’m 5’4”, and these are for US shops like LOFT or Banana Republic, so not juniors sizes.
(I'm kind of built like a 14 year old boy who's starting to develop: Wider shoulders, kind of straight body shape, no hips/booty to speak of, even though not totally devoid of glute strength, either. They don't make women's dresses with 14-year-old boys in mind, typically.
