Typically, how many pounds lost until you get into the next size down in pant size? I know everyone is different, I am just looking to get an idea so if you could share your personal experience, that would be awesome! Thanks!

    I was a tight 14 with a 16 misses tossed in, am down 24lbs and now am a very lose 14 but not a 12 yet and i lost 4 inches in the waist, however at 5'2 i started at 205 and am down to 182. I know the larger sizes take longer to actually lose a pant size. Its another 20lbs till i get to overweight bmi, but i think in 10 more lbs i'll be in 12, cause i get get them on and buttoned but muffin top like crazy. I also am bottom heavy, so most of what i have noticed has been in the waist and torso area (with a little bit on the butt and hips).

    i notice that the smaller i get, the less pounds it is between sizes. anywhere between 8-10 pounds per size has been my experience.

    From sizes 0-10 there's a 10 *ish* pound difference in between each, but for the bigger sizes I notice that women need to lose more than 10 lbs to move down, maybe around 15-20

    Seems like it was only 5 pounds for me too, already on the smaller size, but my fat is certainly all sitting on the hips/belly, and I'm adding muscle and burning fat (I hope) so the scale hasn't shown much but the pants have. :)

    I actually lost more weight because I used to weigh 325 pounds at my all time high and now I weigh255 but I don't count that really because I stayed at 305 for a year

    When I lost 20 lbs, I lost a pant size. Now, I feel like I am between sizes since I am on this weight loss journey. Basically, it all depends on the person's body type.

    I lost 40 lbs, went down 6" in pant size and though I've regained most of the weight (ticker indicates 9 lost from my new high) I'm still in the slimmer pants, and they're falling off me if I'm not belted in.

    It's NOT directly related between weight and sizes.

    Honestly, You should count it! You deserve it! Good job!
