pounds/pant size?

I am seriously so glad to read this topic! i have lost 52 pounds and only dropped 2 pants sizes (from a 20 to a 16). I have been thinking that there is something really wrong with me. I guess I will just be a little more patient and try on the 14s in another 5 pounds or so.

I have lost 50 lbs and gone from an 18 to a 14, so about 25 lbs a size. I'm a tad short of 5'10".

Truthfully, I wait as long as I can to go to the next size down. If I can go two sizes even better. Now dress cloths I have to keep up with. But jeans and less "style like" cloths I don't want to waste money constantly buying them. So, I go as long as I can between sizes. (Normally someone tells me I look terrible which is my signal to buy new cloths). What can I say, I am a guy and don't decorate well! But I can hunt and shoot with the best of them.

A girl, here, and I do the same.

Unfortunately, my stomach is usually the last place I lose weight, so I don't see a change for some time. Even then, I just stick on a belt and live with it.

For me it has been ten lbs. I started at 18's lost seventy lbs. down ten sizes in a size 8 now. However in some brand of pants I can wear size 5/6, I tried on two pair of jeans today and in one brand they were size 8 and another brand size 5/6, go figure but that was very encouraging since my goal is size 6 any way. Hope this helps. Just have patience and be consistant, never give up. I have
lost and gained back weight in the past but this is my biggest weight loss so far but what I did different this time is not just go on a diet, but a complete lifestyle change and mind set that really made the difference for me. Better late than never. Keep up the good work and never ever give up on yourself, you can do this. Hope this helps.

If you worked out, you would be dropping more sizes for sure.

I have to disagree here... I have lost roughly 50 pounds (that is net of the 15+ pounds of muscle I have gained according to my nutritionist's dexa (?) scans), and have only dropped 2 (almost 3) sizes. Everybody is different. Unfortunately, my tummy doesn't seem to wanna let go of this fat!

Edit to add that the muscle gain is entirely due to exercise.

I've dropped 13 pounds and gone down one size. I'm 137 lbs and fit in size 8 comfortably.

For me at 5'9 - new pant size every 7 to 10 kg's - 15 to 20lbs - at 20lbs they were really loose!!
