    Oh good! If I lose 2 more pounds I should be able to buy smaller jeans. :happy:

    I've dropped 10lbs but have not yet gone down a dress size. I guess it depends on where you loose it from and where you tone up most.

    I've only lost 2 inches from my waist, and although my UK size 12s are easier to get on, I still cannot comfortably wear them, they are way to tight! Maybe a couple of pounds more and I'll be laughing.

    It varies person to person I think.

    If your fat is evenly distributed, like mine, you may not go down a size after 10 lbs. I lost 1" on my waist, but stayed the same on my hips, thighs, and calves. My jeans are a little looser, but not enough to go to the smaller ones in the closet. I think I lose most of it around my ribs - my bras look better - and the back boobs are smaller.

    I think most people will go down a size though.

    I had read that one sizie is in the 7 - 9lb range. Of course depending on the person.

    when i was at weight watchers they said 10% wieght loss will equal about 2 sizes smaller. i started at 270 im at 247 just 4 pounds from my 10% and i am down 2 sizes. so if you started at 180 18 pounds should bring you down. hope this helps.

    :sad: Oh well. I don't think I can fit into a size 16 yet (I wear a size 18 right now) but I'm going to Wally World this weekend and try a pair on anyway. I've lost 8 1/2 pounds.

    I definitely think is depends on the person. I have big legs and even though I have noticed that my pants are not as snug, I could not go down in a size. I think I lose my weight in my stomach and up before I start seeing it in my legs.
