fastest time frame to lose one pant size

mellydelly

What is the average or fastest time frame to lose at least one pant size?

Just wondering.

One dress size is about a stone, for me. The fastest possible time frame would be something like 1-2 weeks, if you were on the Biggest Loser! A realistic time frame would probably be 1-2 months.

Don't know about pant sizes but in Feb2012 I had no spare holes in my trouser belt and today I've got 3 spare holes and back from 38 inch waist to 34 inch waist.

:drinker:

It really varies from person to person based on body type. I have lost +/-40 lbs and due to my body shape (my waist and hips vary by 2-3") I am still wearing the same pant size. I can fit in the smaller sizes however they are tight at my waist.

Depends on where you are in a size, too. Going from a tight size __ to the next size down is going to take longer than going from a looser size __ to the next size down.

Sizing is so inconsistent, too. I've taken the same brand jeans into the dressing room in a size 7, 5, and 3 and had them all fit the same.

And from personal experience, the faster the pounds dropped, the slower the progress in body composition. Five pounds lost slowly over a month makes more of an impact than five pounds lost in a week.

I've lost 37 pounds and gone from a tight 18W to a regular 16. This has taken 4 months of hard work

Depends on how big you are now. The larger women's sizes require more weight loss to change. At one point I had lost over 30 pounds and still didn't go down in pants size. If you're already a size 8 or 10 the sizes are closer and you might only need to lose 10 pounds to change sizes. It's very individual too as to where you carry your excess weight. I carry all my weight in my stomach area, so I always wear a size 2-3 sizes bigger than someone else my same weight.

I usually change sizes every 2 months. But that was when they were bigger sizes. Now im at a regular 14 so it may go quicker. Not sure.
