    This depends a lot on genetics, body composition, where you lose your weight, clothing designers and their vanity sizing, etc. For me, it's about 15-20 pounds per pants size.

    I still fit into my size 18w and I've lost 45 pounds. However, I have a large frame and I've never worn under a size 12 (even at 5'10'' and 147 pounds).
