    I think it depends on the fat:muscle ratio. If you have gotten more tone you may have lost all fat but not lost as much weight on the scale. I've lost 24lbs and went from a tight 13 in pants to a loose 11, honestly I should be in a 9 now. I just haven't gone to get a new pair yet. I also went from an xl in shirts to a m/l depending on the brand

    I have only lost 8 lbs but I have gone form a size 8 to a 4 (some are too big). I am pretty short though, 5'2 and I have done the 30 day shred and I am on the last week of ripped in 30.

    Lost 50 lbs and 7% body fat, gone from a US 14 to a US 6/8, some 10. so about 15-16 lbs per size. Depends on how your body is made though, and wear you're losing the weight. In women's shirts I am a s/m, and I can fit m/l in children's.

    For me it varies. When I was bigger I had to lose about 12 pounds to go down a size and now it is closer to 8 pounds. I am 5'1".

    depends on : piece of clothing, how you carry your weight, if you are gaining muscle/if you work out hard, how tall you are, etc etc etc.

    for me, i started out with about 100 lbs to lose. i have lost 32 and i would say 15lbs per size for me. im about 1 size down in shirts (i carry my weight in my belly so it will be more weight lost before the shirts get a lot smaller. i do see change around my bust and waist arms in shirts though) and 2 in pants.

    I've lost 26 pounds, and gone down only one size in trousers (UK 12 - 10), but three sizes in tops (UK 18 - 12).
