I probably have gone done sizes, but I'm quite finnicky about clothes....I carry all of my weight in my middle, so it's taking me longer to lose a pant size, but I have gone down in bra/shirts.0

I've lost 18 and can barely tell. Some things are not as tight. I guess I will notice more at 25.0

Oooh, that totally depends on your current size.
At my heaviest of 245, I didn't drop a pant size until I was roughly 215 (and I was apple shaped, for sure).
Now, I'm a size 12, and I'd have to lose maybe 10 lbs to drop a size, depending on where it came off from. I'm not an apple anymore, but I still have excess fat in my midsection.0 -
weight and sizes don't necessarily correlate but just to give an idea i was a 12/14 when i started at 190 and now i'm in a 6 headed for a 4 and i weigh 1500

i dont think there is a 'norm'. there are soooo mnay factors:
-where do you carry it?
-where do you lose it?
-how much have you lost?
-have you gained muscle?
-how tall are you?
-how big were you before?
-what type of clothing?
-what cut of clothing?
-what brand?
etc etc etc etc0 -
I have lost 25lb and am down one dress size.0
