So I have lost 22lbs and I am still wearing the same size I was 22lbs ago, so I was just wondering how much everyone else has lost to actually go down a dress size??

    I am almost to 30 and still am wearing the same size, to be fair though i was squeezing into this size and probably really needed a bigger size, or at least that is what i keep telling myself!

    I went from size tight 15 to size 13 losing 40 pounds... I know the frustration.. I have 2 kids so I think mommies carry wround the mid section alot more than women who dont have any children.

    I've lost 55 and i'm down 4 sizes. I think it was a good 25 pounds before I had to actually move to a different size though.

    I am down a little over twenty pounds and Im still in the same size, although very loose on my legs, and only a little loose around my waist. I cant wait to start dropping sizes! :grumble:

    I've only lost 16, and everything fits better and/or looser, but I'm not really ready to go down a size. At my height and weight I figure it will be around the 30 lb. mark before I'm truly down a size.

    ETA: I'd actually love to be able to wear the same clothes for a good deal of the summer if possible. I don't care if I'm swimming in them, I don't want to buy new summer clothes that I won't be able to wear the following summer when I'm skinny!

    I am down 27 pounds and went from a 12 to a 6. I guess everybody is different where they lose it. Don't feel discouraged, you are doing great!

    I suppose it mostly depends on where you lose from. But I'd say about 30 pounds between sizes. It was 30 pounds for me until I dropped my first size. I'm guessing it'll be another 25 - 30 pounds until I go down again. I also think the smaller you are, the less you need to lose between sizes.

    I was wearing 18/20 and within 10 lbs the 20s were way to big, 18s are getting pretty loose now and Ive lost 20lbs and I fit in a size 16 too snug but they zipped and buttoned but i figure I will wait another 10 lbs before I consider myself to be a size 16 yet

    I'm down 18.5 and have moved from a 12 to 10 in pants/skirt sizes. I'm 5'3". Don't know if that makes a difference.

    I was told every 7-14lb you lost dropped you a dress size. I've lost 25lb and have gone from a 14 to a 12 and can sometimes fit into a 10 (which I'm incredibly proud of :D) depending on where I get the clothes from. It's my top half that annoys me, it hasn't shrunk much so it winds me up when sometimes I have to wear the same size as I used to be

    I have went from 161 to 151 and can STILL wear the same size. UGH! I was really hoping that my clothes would be MUCH bigger and would be falling off more. LOL. They are much much looser, but I haven't really HAD to go buy smaller ones yet. Darn! I'm hoping when I go from 151 to 141 I see more dramatic differences. :-(
