    I read somewhere that you are supposed to drop one dress size with every 10lbs in weight lost. Not sure if its true though as everyone's body shape is different.

    i find this quite true as lost nearly 20lbs and have gone down fro uk 18, now uk 14

    PS, In Ireland, dress size means clothes size, nothing to do with dresses :) x
    lol i thought that was a worldwide standard. Lol here in South Africa too.

    I lost 10 lbs which equaled one (dress, pant, top and underwear) size.

    30lbs lost and I lost 3 UK dress sizes. Was 16-18 now a 10-12. :D:D

    First dress size took about 14lbs, I'd say the same for the other ones, maybe a little less. :)

    I think I am really close then to going down a size. Before I started using mfp I had lost 8 lbs. So now including what I lost here I lost 15 lbs. That would be a tight size ten to a perfectly fitting size ten. Can't wait til I go down a size!! But at least I'm not bulging out of clothes any more.
