    Pant size means honestly nothing... it really depends on the brand and sizes are actually closer than you think. I still fit fine in my 18s after 30 lbs lost so I thought I hadn't lost any size until I realized I fit in 14s too... Now after 45 lbs I can fit in 8s, depending on the brand.

    It does when they are falling down, baggy and you have to give them away and buy new ones again!

    I've lost 17lbs and still wear the same pants. HOWEVER, now they actually fit like they're supposed to lol. I probably should have gone up a size 2 years ago but I refused to accept my weight gain and buy bigger pants. So I just avoided most of my jeans and opted for leggings ;)

    I was a "tight fitting" size 16, very uncomfortable in most of my pants.

    I am now a "loose fitting" size 14, 35 pounds later.

    My shirt size, however, has gone from a ladies XL to a small L or M in some cases.

    So I guess that shows where most of the fat is fleeing...

    ETA: I do have a pair of Junior size 13 shorts that are very comfortable right now, considering getting another pair or three for the summer.

    All sizes listed are US.

    I've lost between 25-30, depending on the day.

    I've gone from an 18 to a 14 in pants.
    XXL to L in tops.
    But UP a cup size. :grumble:

    I started at a size 18. I've lost 42.8 pounds, and I just fit into a 12 yesterday :) I currently weigh around 187, and I'm 5'6".

    I've lost quickly in the pants sizes, but have only gone down a size, maybe two, on the top. Damn boobs aren't getting any smaller :(

    I have 57lbs gone & I've gone down 2 full pant sizes (from 26 to 22) but I have some room to spare in the 22. My hips/stomach/butt took alot longer to jump on the weight loss train then the rest of me lol

    down 43.5 lbs, down from a snug 18 (so realistically 20) to a 12

    do we count that as 3 sizes?

    62 lbs, started 26/28 currently in 16's

    I think it depends on how you carry the weight

    I think it also depends on the cut of the clothes. I've found that a size 18 at the plus size store is getting too big but a size 18 at a regular store is too tight. And everyone is right, it depends on where you carry your weight. My legs and thighs are much smaller but I still store a lot of fat around my stomach which is really where you need your pants to fit.

    Keep up the good work, you'll get there!!

    I lost 46 pounds - first 20 pounds took me from tight size 14 to fitted size 10. Next 26 pounds took me to size 6 NYDJ and size 8 Ralph Lauren.

    It just depends. I am 5'8 and I can assure you most of my excess weight was in my hips and be-hind!

    I started out as a very tight 16, possibly 18 and I have lost 32 lbs. Now I'm a pretty comfortable 14.

    I lost 25lbs... and not a pant size. My pants are definitely looser, but not enough to wear the next size down. I seem to have lost a few inches off my belly which is AWESOME.... but none at my hips!

    This is me. I've lost 21 lbs and still wear a size 10. Also havent lost much around the hips but I did lose some off my belly as well and went from a size M/L shirts down to S/M!

    I've lost right around 84 pounds. Gone from size 22 pants to a comfy 14 that gets baggy if the jeans are poly blend, so getting close to a 12. Shirts from 3X to L or XL depending on brand and material. Bra from a 42DDD to a 36DD. Shoes from a 10 to a 9, ha!

    With a 40lb loss I went from a size 24/26 (that fit like I was busting out of a can of biscuits!) to a 20/22 with a comfortable fit. My bust size has reduced proportionately as well (44G to a 42DDD). Halfway to my fitness goal! Still going strong.

    But UP a cup size. :grumble:

    I'm down about 64 lbs & went from a pant size 20-22ish to a 14 now, but those are already getting loose. Tops I went from a 2x to XL and even L in some shirts (but I still have a muffin top so I have to make sure the tops aren't too form-fitting). It's nice to lose & be able to buy smaller stuff but dang it adds up, I buy just a few things so my wardrobe is really small right now, & I'm not done losing yet so I can't even really start rebuilding a wardrobe for a while.

    Regarding cup size, my band size went down 2 inches but I went from a DD to a DDD which kind of irritates me. I'm hoping I'll still lose in that area so I can get to more of a "normal" size and back to at least double letters. Not sure if it's possible to get that to single but that would sure be awesome & make finding bras much easier!! I'm amazed to see the person who said their shoe size went down, I wear a size 10 shoe & my feet haven't gotten any smaller!! :grumble:

    Oh - and - my son is getting married in a couple weeks so I put off buying a dress for the wedding until just recently. I used to have to buy a size 22 in most dresses but I just bought a size 16 dress & would have been able to buy a 14 if my boobs would have fit into some of the dresses that I was considering. For the first time in my life I'm considering looking for a minimizer bra to see if I can smush them into some smaller size tops & dresses!
