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.
