How much weight loss to drop a size

When you start to get to the lower sizes, how much does it take to lose a pants size? I am at 192 now and just fitting into a 14. It took me about 45 lbs to go from a tight 18 to a snug 14.

Ive heard that once you get out of the bigger sizes it doesnt take as much to go down a size. I was wondering if anyone can give any insight on how much they lost between sizes at this stage.

Wow, I love this site...I was wondering the exact same thing. I am exactly where are you right now.

I'm down 39 lbs since surgery. Went from a 18/20 (3x) shirt and pants to now a very baggy 16. I could probably get into a 14 pants, but I haven’t' tried yet no money lol. But my tops are 14.

I agree with the 10 to 20 pound range and how much you or what type of exercise you do greatly depends on how fast you drop sizes. I know the elliptical will help you drop a pants size in no time!

Its been about twenty pounds per size for me although I did totally skip over a couple sizes.
