pounds/pant size?

For me, it was about 12 pounds between a size 8 and a size 6... but that can fluctuate even from one day to the next! :noway: Not sure if it's "water weight" or what.

Keep going and good luck!!!

I was just saying to a friend tonight, "you feel 5 pounds, you see 10 pounds"

The bigger I was the more I had to lose to go down in pant sizes. I started out a size 14 at 172 stayed there till about 154, stayed a size 12 until 143 then a 10 until 133 and then I dropped two sizes from 133 to 125 (size 6). At 120 went to a size 4 and now at 114 I could probably wear a size 2 but have not been able to afford anymore clothing so I just wear belts and I am hoping to gain back some weight in muscle here very soon.

I am 5.4 1/2"

Wow pounds and pants size......lets see i used to be a size 22 and now i'm a size 9.....its been a long snd hard journey that's still not over yet.

For me, the more weight I have to lose, a pant size lost normally correlates with about 20 lbs. However, once I get into the 35 left and under, I imagine it'll be more like 10 lbs a size.

I was a bigger 14 at 202, and at 167 I was a 10. Since I started weight training at about 180 I am still about a size 10.

i'm only half way.

started 5ft 2.. 199lb uk size 16-18
lost 35lb
now weigh 164lb and size 14 comfortable

Ive had 2 kids and i very ugly tummy, and alot of flab ive only just got into 14s and still fit in some 16s but if i didnt have a flabby stretch mark tummy might be different

I think height plays quite the factor in this. For me (I'm 5'3") 5 lbs can make the difference between sizes. I don't have as much area to carry the extra weight and I'm pear shaped so carry most in my lower region, which equates to pant sizes. I was in a XS\S top before I hit the lower pant sizes.

Hi start weight 147.5 UK size12/14 current weight 137.5 size 10/12.

I'm either an inverted triangle/goblet or apple shape although more of the former since I lost weight and my tummys not as prominent but still have a bit of a tum and shoulders that are considerably broader than my hips.

I am a size bigger for tops and dresses then trousers and have bought a couple of dresses and tops since my weight loss and gone down a size in the stores I usually shop (I am now a 12) however I don't want to buy new jeans or much of a new wardrobe till I hit goal and currently I'm having to keep most of my size 12's up with belts so assuming I'm down to a size 10 jean.

Dresses can sometimes be a real pain for me as they are usually too tight round my tum and boobs when they fit my hips or really baggy round the hips if it fits my torso, I presume most dresses are designed to fit the more common pear and hour glass figures so finding the right size is a difficult one. x

I'm 5'2". It took about 20lbs to get from a size 8 to size 4. A 4 is a little tight, depending on the brand though...but a 6 is too big. I think about 5 more pounds and they'll fit much more comfortably.
I usually wear junions sizes though...so I was at a 9, now I'm either a 5 or 7 depending on the brand. But I juniors sizes seem to be cut much slimmer than womens sizes.

I had to go buy new clothes last weekend, three new pairs of jeans, three sizes smaller than when I started. Lost over 30lbs now.

I looked like a farmer in my old jeans, all scrunched up with a belt.

I think one thing to keep in mind is the weight loss does not always equal the size you think because of inches. People lose weight differently and that will effect how the clothes will fit.

I tend to have a small waist as I lose weight and it takes longer for my hips to get down. I have always had curves which I am fine with but clothese can be a challenege depending on what the style is at the time.

I am happy when the weight comes off but I am even happier as the inches come down.

I know the measurements of larger sizes are 2 inches apart and smaller sizes (I think 6 and below) are only 1 inch apart so this definitely plays into it. I honestly don't know what size I am because every brand is so different. I have pants from size 4-9 that I think fit pretty well. But after losing 14lbs now when I shop I start trying at size 6/7 and go up or down from there as needed instead of size 8/9, so I would say I've lost a size -- which makes sense because I have lost almost 2 inches from my waist and hips each. I am 134, 5'7" btw.

I was curious about this too when I first started!!

I actually did not drop many "sizes" until I dropped 60 lbs. My clothes were looser, but I could still wear them up until this point. Then I started dropping inches like crazy and actually skipped a few sizes!! The next big drop was when I hit the 85lbs lost, and then around 100lbs lost... and then 110... and then 120....

My point is that, at least for me, the larger I was the longer it took inbetween sizes. Its almost like there was more leeway with the larger sizes. I was a size 6 jean 10lbs ago, but now I am wearing size 3/4 jeans (I am pretty short!)... 10lbs a year ago I probably would not have even noticed a difference.

I will also say that I stuck to the same brand for jeans during the entire process.... I cannot stand going into one store and being a size 14, and then walking into another and needing a 18. I went with my old navy jeans (same style too!) the entire time. I ended up having them in a size 24,18,14,12, 10, 8 and 6 (I skipped some sizes).... I was also lucky and only actually bought one of them! The others were gifts (xmas and then bday)!!!

I'm 5'8" and I've ranged from 123-103 and always worn the same pants. So I don't know if I can help you here.
