    This is just out of pure curiosity.

    I've lost about 25lbs, and I'm still the same clothing size (18 women's/XL tops), and I'd bet it would be another 10-20 before I could comfortably fit into my old size 16 clothes & L shirts. (I have a little hamper in my closet of them because I was determined to get back there - but that was in 2015 lol :# ) Everyone's body is different, but it definitely seems like a massively wide range for a single clothing size on one person!

    I'd be interested to hear about what that was like for you, if you've dropped a size (or more).

    I'm guessing it has to do with body shape and where you carry weight - I have wide hips and so even though my pants are looser on the waist and thighs, I've definitely not sized down out of them yet.

    I have lost 8 pounds but my jeans are still tight. i used to drop a jeans size after losing every 5 pounds but this time its something else lol maybe i'll have to lose about 15 pounds

    I’m getting the sense from reading all the posts that for a lot of people it can change like that because of body composition & it super depends on where you keep fat - hips/stomach, etc.

    I went from a jean size 12, shirt size M/L to jean size 2/0, shirt size S/XS- the difference for me when I went down a size was about 10 lbs.

    Cheap Asian sized clothing is ridiculously small.
    I go into better clothing manufacturers I can be a medium depending on cut.

    Asian clothing fits better on me than Western clothing since most of the time they run big on me. :(

    plus i find that japanese clothing is way cuter than western clothes lol
