How many lbs do you loose before changing clothes size?

I have lost 23.5 pounds and have recently purged all of my old bigger clothes. I feel they drag me down and make me look bigger then I am now. I went from a tight size 12/14 to a 10. Large shirts to mediums.

I don't have a lot of money to spend so I went to goodwill and marshalls and spent under $100 a new wardrobe for work that will get me through. I got 2 really nice designer skirts at goodwill! Kinda yuck to search in there but you can find some nice things!

Some work friends are having a clothing swap soon! I am looking forward to it! Everyone brings clothes they no longer want and swaps!

My ultimate goal is a pair of pricey designer jeans. I am waiting until I reach my goal to purchase them!

I can only tell you my experience through dress size since that's all I wear. I went from a size 20 to a size 14 after 56 pounds.

I was around 30, getting really fed up - but I then went to the next size down again within 10lbs I'd say. Just initially not losing around my middle so not dropping a size!

I'd buy eBay/supermarket/sale clothes to keep the cost down if you know you won't be wearing it for long! Congrats on the loss :-)

I do think everyone is different and also it's different for men than women.

I have lost about 4" from my waist and all my old FAT trousers are now too big for me, even with a tighter belt. I had some smaller sized trousers in the wardrobe, so I did have a fall-back, although I've since bought two new pairs of stretch jeans in a slighter smaller size so that they will do me now and later on. Once the 40" jeans get baggy, I'll start buying 36" trousers, but don't think I'll need to buy anything in between (hopefully... but I do like clothes shopping :laugh:)

My XXL shirts are now lice and loose fitting (the XXL's have been sent to charity). I don't intend to buy any new shirts until I get down to a comfortable L. We have some XL shirts (my old ones) that I can re-appropriate. I have even bought a couple of L shirts in the sales (smaller copies of ones I have now in XXL) because I know I WILL fit into them one day soon. :bigsmile:

We have some great resale shops in the area and I am trading in my larger clothes and keeping the store credits to get smaller clothes until I reach my ultimate goal and then look out mall ---for me 20 pounds = 1 size down. :drinker:

Okay....I've lost 40lbs to date and I am still WEARING my same ole clothes. Granted I havent tried any smaller sizes but my regular clothes are loose but not baggy as many say here. Geesh! Maybe its because I am extremely heavy still.

I have lost 26 and am just now noticing a difference in the way stuff is fitting, but the kids are saying my face and legs are where they are noticing most of the difference.

I've lost around 70lbs (31.8kg). I used to wear size 16 pants and I'm down to 8/10. I also used to wear size XXL in womens shirts (XL in mens) and now I wear a S in women's shirts. As for dress sizes...well...when I ordered a gown, it was a size 16 womens (larger sizes). Since I've lost all this weight, I'm down to a 12 average(smaller than womens sizes)

I've heard many people say that for a dress size, it's typically 10-15lbs to drop a size or so. At the present time, for my pants size, it's an average of 11lbs per pant size.

I try to wait as long as possible before sizing down. I have lost 38 kg (84 pounds) and sized down from size 26 to size 22, then again from size 22 to size 18. I'm currently between sizes (16/18) and my next size down should be to 14.

Impossible to say a set number of pounds= one size. For example, you might lose the first 15 pounds mostly in your upper body, and your jeans size remains the same. Or, you could lose a localized fat deposit, a roll, a bulge, and drop a size with less than ten pounds lost.
