How many pounds did you lose before losing a size?

I know this greatly varies from person to person, but I was wondering how many pounds did you lose before you saw a change in you clothing size? I've lost almost 8 pounds and I don't really notice a difference on how my clothes fit. I know I've lost little, but I just wanted to have an idea when I will be seeing any changes.

Zero.....nada...zilch. I'm dead serious. I recently went down a size and lost a total of .6lbs....basically, nothing since that is water weight. I never go by the scale or how much I weigh. Everyone is different, but just sharing my experience. :-)0

you should start noticing at about 10lb loss..0

I agree with Tammy_76 about 10lbs0

I lost about 8 lbs. and then went from about 18/20 to 16/18. Sizes are relative, though0

I think for me it was 19, then I dropped from a tight 14 to a 10. (I went shopping for 12's about 2 months ago, 10's about a month ago, and getting ready to shop again for 8's.) Although I can't seem to budge on the shirt size (XL to a L, but I don't notice much difference on shirts yet.)0

I think it is a combination of weight and inches lost. Measure yourself as well as weigh in. I have lost 13lbs and 8 inches and have went down 2 pant sizes. I measured bust, hips, waist, arms, and thighs. Exercising plays a big role in shaping the body as well as weight loss. Good luck and keep with it. You will see results being consistent:)0

I was (barely) in a 16 at 213, barely in a 14 at 198, but easily in the 14s at 190.
Your first few pounds of weight loss are usually fluid/water, so that's not going to be a great deal of butt size change.0 -
I've lost 20 pounds, and I have only gone down one size. I'm not sure if it takes me so long because I'm tall (5'10") or because I tend to wear a size until I can't possibly wear it any more (both when it's getting too big and when it's getting too small). Anyway, it takes a long time for me to move down sizes.0

It had to be at least 10 for me - usually 15lbs, though. But that's because I buy stretchy jeans, workout pants, etc.0

I went from a 16 to a 10 and have lost about 24 pounds.0

I've heard people say 8-10, I just bought my first pair of new pants in a new size (actually might have been 2 sizes) because my old pants had been REALLY tight, and also the buttoned on the waist instead of lower, so as I dropped they just kind of sagged down.
I wasn't going to buy new stuff until i was tying those pants on every day, but they were starting to get uncomfortable because they were meant to sit higher so my legs had alll this empty fabric-less void .... like a guy sagging his pants a bunch.
So for me it was 2 sizes in 30 pounds or so, but the larger size I was wearing them VERY VERY tight -- if I had gone to purchase new pants I probably would have needed to go up a size.
So I guess 1 size per 10 lbs worked out for me too.0 -
ive lost 48 pounds, ive gone from an 18/20 to a 14/16, so not much, lol. it all depends on where youre losing from or where all the fat is, etc.0

Agreed. I'm down five pounds and the other day Hubs mentioned he could tell I was losing weight in the chest. I'll take the loss, since my bras are fitting better, but I agree it's about ten pounds.0 -
15lbs is? but for pant size every 1 inch to 1 1/2 in your hips is a pant size0
