How much weight did you lose before you went down a size (or

My first week with a personal trainer about a year ago I lost 10lbs and 19 inches, I couldn't afford to buy new clothes so I bought a belt lol. Looked pretty funny but I honestly didn't think I'd continue to lose weight and thought I'd gain it all back so figured I'd keep the "old" clothes.
Writing this response I just realized how much I have changed physically but most importantly mentally. So Thank You!!!

I used to wear size 16. Now that I am 15 lbs lighter, I fit in size 12.

well, i haven't gone to try on new clothes, but i sure do have to hike my pants up an awful lot lately, and that's only at 6lbs lost. which really sucks (not really) since i just got 3 pairs of pants recently from a gift certificate my dad gave me for christmas. i am not even going to wear them in a little bit before i will have to buy new ones. curse you weight lose!!!! haha

You could see how much it would be to take the pants in. I eventually gave in and had my sister do it for me during the first few months, due to the fact money was pretty tight and I didn't want to buy something to only have to go out again due to more weight loss ( not that that's a bad thing) haha

I almost always have to lose at least an inch or two off my hips to drop a size. I used to work in clothing store where the jeans were sized by waist/length such as, 24/32. Even though my waist would be about that size, unless my hips are approximately 10 inches bigger than my waist, then they don't fit. I don't know the actual weight though that it took to lose an inch.

Over the process of losing almost 70 lbs it has varied drastically. Some one size drops were with only 4 or 5 lbs loss but other times it was 10-15 pounds.
67 lbs down and I am down 5 pant sizes. But I have quite the rear end haha I went from a 38DD to nearly a 34D. Everyone definitely loses differently. :-D
Throughout the process I bought clothes primarily ON SALE, or hand me downs from friends. Until my weight loss slowed down, I buy still on sale and also belts are a wonderful thing! Haha

290# size24
275# size 22
260# size20 current
245# size18 soon vary soon i will have you back in the front of my closet mawh ha ha
before that i wore mens 32, 34, 36, 38 no clue about corresponding weights
i am 5'7"

I don't remember ALL of the weights and sizes, but I remember some of the more recent ones.

When I started out losing weight about a decade ago, I was 191 and size 20. I yo-yo'd a lot back then and didn't get SERIOUS about it until I was 155 and size 14. Here's approximately what I have weighed at each size since that 155 pound size 14 point---

149 size 12 (Big day for me when I got into 12's!!! I bought 3 pairs of jeans and some shorts)
142 size 10
139 size 8
128 size 6 (another huge day for me since I had met my goal. That was back in 2008, though).

Because I had done P90X, I gained lots of muscle, so when I gained "weight" back I didn't gain "size" back. After my low of 128 and size 6, I bounced back up 150 and size 10. That was this past Christmas. I then got down to 145 when I started back up again right after Christmas, but my size was the same. I started really counting everything again January 3 this year. I am now 138 pounds wearing a very loose size 8. I probably *could* squeeze into a size 6, but my psyche won't let me try them on until I lose at least 3-5 more pounds.

I am hoping that after losing about 4 more pounds I will be back in my size 6 and when I get to my goal weight of 125 I will be in a size 4.

By the way, I am slightly taller than 5'4" tall so I don't think my goal weight or size is too small at all.

Down 27 lbs and I haven't lost inches or sizes. My lower legs and forearms have changed...that's about it

I think the most I have ever weighed is about 165lbs, and I was a UK 16 :-/, my body does not suit being that big, I am currently about 144 and wearing a 10/12 UK, which I think is 8/10 in US - I so wish we used those sizes, I'd love to be able to say I was a size 8, lol.

I have lost 10lbs and have not went down a pants size yet. I feel my pants current size getting too big. I think once I hit 15.0-20.0lbs lost I will be in a size down, matter of fact I am sure I will be. I can put those sizes on but they are SUPER tight and I can't button them up yet. So another 10.0lbs I'm sure that I can. (20lbs)

I've gone down 2 sizes with a 20 pounds loss. This is from diet and exercise combined.

I also think it depends on the brand of clothes you are trying on also, I know some clothes run larger than others, meaning you can get into a smaller size. And for me its not the pounds that came off that could make me get into smaller sizes, its the inches because now I'm doing strength training and really not loosing much weight, but haven't went back up in a bigger size.

I've heard that it's 10 lbs a size, roughly, but that doesn't apply to plus sizes. From size 14 down that rule, give or take, applies. And yes, of course it does depend a bit on where you carry the weight, and if you're strength training as well

I was barely fitting into a size 18 at 231, now I'm 214 and 18's are too big but 16's are tight. who knows! it all depends on the clothing. I'm almost able to button my 16's so I'm very excited about that!!

It was about 30 or 35lbs lost that I found I could wear a smaller pant size.

In total thus far, I have lost 4 inches in the waist, 44" to 40". I have lost at least 10 inches around my belly. 3XL to 2XL in shirts.
