How much weight do you have to lose to go down a clothing size?

I know this is different for everyone. I notice for every 6-7 lbs, I can drop a pant size.

Re: How much weight do you have to lose to go down a clothing size?

it honestly depends if I'm working out along with losing the weight..
If I'm really exercising and watching my diet, I can drop a pants size by losing about 6-7 pounds ..

If I'm just dieting and not exercising (I know, bad) it takes about 10 pounds to notice a diff, since I'm still all flabby/giggly ..

I thought the average was 10 pounds. But I'm 5'9" and recently lost twenty pounds and I swear I went down like a half size. Sometimes I think I didn't really lose weight, but my husband somehow rigged my scale to get me to shut up!

Re: How much weight do you have to lose to go down a clothing size?

I have to agree w/if u are working out, it can depend.

I also workout and although I will step on the scale and that needle wont move...the only way I know is that my clothes start appearing bigger on me.
That is losing inches and toning that can make you drop in size.

Re: How much weight do you have to lose to go down a clothing size?

I asked this at a WW meeting and they said it really varies depending on your height and weight to start with. I am 5'3" and in the normal weight range, lost 10 lbs and am still the same size (a larger size then when I was 10 lbs lighter before my wedding...I think I was working out more then).

10 lbs is one size. Period. So to go from an 8 to a 6, you have to lose 10 lbs. Chat Icon

I lost 20 pounds, but still didn't go down a size. Although my clothes are too big, I can't fit in the next size down. Chat Icon

I hate the commercials of people that say 'I lost 30 pounds and went from a size 18 to a 4' They are obviously on the metric system of sizes or something.

This is true. When I was heavier, it took about 15-20 pounds before I went down a dress size. As I reached a smaller size, it seemed like it was 10-15 pounds for me, but I am still not in single digits sizes.

And it definitely depends on whether you are exercising or not - I have not lost weight, but lost inches and my clothes became looser (and have stopped exercising and noticed them getting tighter without gaining pounds too Chat Icon )

Re: How much weight do you have to lose to go down a clothing size?

Having been morbidly obese, I can honestly say that it depends on how true to you are with the sizes you choose for yourself in the first place. There were plenty of times I was wearing a 20 when I should have been in a 24. I have been anywhere from an 8 to a 24. Some size drops were 10 pounds. Others were more. Others were less. Everyone is different. Exercise may play a role especially if you are losing inches rapidly.

I work with many women who are convinced they are a 12 when they are a 16. I bet you we ALL know this woman. Chat Icon

I carry a lot of my weight in my hips. I can be at least 15 lbs lighter and still can't fit into a smaller size. Chat Icon
