lbs = size? (over 300 lbs!)

Ali_TSO

For those of you over 300 lbs, how much weight did you lose before you dropped your first pants size? :happy:

makeachange22

i dont think it really matters how much you weigh, its different for everyone and depending on how they lost i was 230 lbs when i started took me 20lbs to get from size 18 to a 16. its different for everyone ! just keep going

VeryKerri

I started at 331 pounds and I was not able to drop a pant size until I lost 30 pounds, but I was noticing small changes after about 10 -15. It takes a lot of hard work and major determination but after having lost over 70 pounds, I must say that it is SOOOOOO worth it! You can do it! Good luck on your journey!

I started out at 315 and it took me a good 30+ pounds before I dropped a size. But the more I lose the quicker I lose sizes now so no matter what just keep going and know you will start losing those sizes soon!

I think it totally depends on your body type - I have lost a little over 60 lbs and have gone down 3 pants sizes. WOO HOO!!!

I agree with Makeachange...It will be different for everyone. Get active, eat right, set your goals and stick with them and I think that you will be surprised how quickly you will see results.

I started at 305 I was wearing a tight 26, I now wear a comfortable 20 (weight 250 lbs). I reduced pant sizes every 15 lbs or so.

Behavior_Modification

I started at 313 Size 24 mostly, some Size 26.

Went down to 22 after about 30lbs too

I totally agree that it is worth it! Slow & steady will win the race!


Edit: Now I'm wearing size 18 and it feels fantastic!!!

actually this is going to sound ridiculous and it is really....i have lost 50 lbs and my pant size really hasnt gone down. it sort of has but not really. i am losing weight everywhere except my dang tummy! its driving me insane!

I've lost 35lbs and can still fit into some of the clothes I started in, just recently I've been able to fit into a smaller size and had to retire some larger pants.

cjwolfjen

I started at 260, I'm now 240, down 20 pounds and still in the same size pants. Everyone loses weight differently. I think the less weight you have to lose, the quicker you drop pants sizes though.

JRena225

although i've only lost 21 pounds, I still don't think i'm ready to progress a size down...some of my clothes still fit not tight but "just right" with a little looseness...so i'm thinking maybe another 10 or 15 pounds maybe i'll be able to officially move to a different size...I have big hips though so even though my clothes are loose in the waist, my hips are still giving me trouble lol..

stressd1mom

I was close to 300 lbs when I started. I took about 30 lbs before I went down a size but I also think that I was 'squeezing' into the size I was wearing & would have been more comfortable in a bigger size.

mallorybriann

It took me like 30 lbs to drop a pant size (was 254 size 18. Now in a 14) :happy:
Then I dropped another one after like 10 more pounds. It didnt happen as soon as I thought
But now I have to buy pants every other month it seems!!!

jen31889

I don't remember how long it was until I dropped a size, but I have found that it took a lot longer to get out of my first size and other larger sizes. The smaller the sizes get, the quicker I drop out of them. Example: Let's say it took me 2 months to get out of a 16. Now it only took me like a month to drop from a 10 to a 6/8.

wow, it really IS different for everyone... Thanks for everyone's responses! I was just wondering...I have every intention of staying on this road, and doing it the right way. 8 lbs in 3 weeks... I'm soooooooooo not stopping, lol.

I can totally relate ... I need to unload some of this junk in the trunk ... not all of it because I like a little junk, but I have become a hoarder. LOL

It took me 40 lbs for me to go a size down.

I have a pair of pants I was able to wear when I weighed anywhere from 325-377. It just fits different but stays on at the lower weight and doesn't look like I'm ripping out at the higher weight. I'm sorta stuck between sizes right now. I have lost just over 30 and I think it's going to take another 20-30 to fit into the next size down. But my shirts are HUGE on me.

Heatherbelle_87

I started at 258 and it took about 40 lbs to truly go down a pant size, despite loosing 59 lbs I'm still in a 16 (started at a full 18) my issue is my tummy though. My belly "hangs" so as I loose it flattens out then shrinks UP rounding out a bit again then flattens again, so I don't buy the next size down until my pants are pretty much falling off of me. I lose in my upper waist the quickest, my back has thinned & smoothes dramatically, my butt is hanging on amazingly well as are my boobs. So atleast I have an hourglass! The size not changing doesn't really bother me as long as that "flap" is still shrinking. When its gone I will so be posting pics!!

I've lost 58 pounds and I'm only just going down a size.... but I started at 436 and I have a massive badonkadonk!

milaxx

Year ago back when I did Weight Watchers they said 10lbs = a dress size. i don't get weighed again until next week, but I've noticed pants literally falling off me once I hit 20lbs. Just realized I need to buy new panties because the ones I have are all falling off and I've hd to replace my bathing suit bottom once already and the current one is feeling really loose.

I can sympathize! After going from tight 16 to comfortable 12, I lost some pounds but my size 12 pants fit the same around the waist.

aflane

Started at 390 (size 26), and went down a size after 30 lbs or so. Now at 303 and just ordered a pair of 18s. Height has a lot to do with it too... no set number.

yankeefamily05

I started at a tight 20 at 270, now that I have lost 35 lbs Im at a loose 18. I have a feeling another 15 lbs will take me to a 16! One can hope:)

MRSMERELES

I was wondering the same thing!
