    I usually lose a size up top first, but usually when i lose around 10-14lbs i'll drop a dress size.

    so know i'm about a 10-12 - my cw is 145
    when I'm 133 i'm a comfy ten
    and when I was 126 I was still a 10 but my jeans were baggy but 8's didn't fit, I was however an 8 on top.
    I'm talking in uk sizes btw.

    I usually don't get new clothes till theyre totally worn down so it's hard to say for sure, but prob around the 10/15lb mark like the other girls. My bra fit much better about 10lbs into it, 4mnths & 20lbs later I went from a 14 to a 10. I think it depends mire on inches lost than weight, & how ur body is naturally proportioned.

    I've lost about 15 and still can't completely fit into the next size down.

    Zero.....nada...zilch. I'm dead serious. I recently went down a size and lost a total of .6lbs....basically, nothing since that is water weight. I never go by the scale or how much I weigh. Everyone is different, but just sharing my experience. :-)

    That has been my experience lately, too.

    It can vary from person to person but for me it's around 10 lbs or so.

    For me ... takes 20 lbs. to lose a size - less for that size to feel loose of course : )

    It took 20 pounds to lose my first size, but only 10 pounds to lost each size after that!

    Thanks everyone for sharing. I completely understand it varies from person to person, but I was just curious. After reading, it ranged from 0-30....good to know.

    I can now fit comfortably into size 14 stretchy clothes, and size L shirts instead of XL, but as for my waist in non-stretchy things...still a 16, although it's much looser in general than before. And I can fit into junior sizes!

    In general, 5 lbs is a size for me (I'm 5.4). However, in the last month I have fluctuated with 1 pound but I've lost several inches, so while I wish I would hit my goal (2-3 lbs away, depending on the day), I am very pleased with the inches lost.

    I was about 10lbs before I went down a size but part of that was due to strength training that made me leaner--even if the numbers didn't go down on the scale.

    About 12 lbs to go from size 8 to size 6. I've lost almost 8 more pounds since then and I'm still a size 6 but fit into some 4 and even some 2's tightly. Hopefully I'll drop another size soon :)

    I started at about 140 at a size 8 and around 132/133 had to go down to a size 6.

    I'm 5'9". I'm a size 12 at 175, a size 10 at 160, and not yet a size 8, so 150. So about 10-15 lbs I guess.

    I am large and I didn't notice a loss in sizes until I lost around 35 - 40 lbs I think. I was in a 4X and now wear a 3X, depending on the clothing style or manufacturer. It is very frustrating to lose weight and inches and not see a noticeable change in clothing sizes.
