I know it varies but I am curious about it, I am 5'7" and I am trying to approximate how much weight I need to lose to get to a certain size. I know its not the same for everybody, thanks in advance!

I am 5'7'' and I have found that I go down a size at around 15 lbs. Now... that may change. If I weighed 140 and lost 15lbs it might be more than a size. Its the 15lbs from 200 to 185 and then 185 to 170. Its probably pretty consistant.... I've never gotten below 170 so hopefully we'll see.

good luck

When I say a pant size I am meaning 16 or 14 or 12..... I don't count the inbetweens. So at 200 I was an 16 at 185 a 14 and at 170 a 12 (kinda tight but I could do it)

About what size were you wearing at 170? Thanks!

I'm at 178 right now and in a loose 14 but a 12 is a little obscene.

Im trying to set reasonable goals. I would really like to get back to a 14 so im curious about what weight that might be at

I'd say upper 70's..... of course... all cloths hang a bit better if we're exercising

I'm at 178 right now and in a loose 14 but a 12 is a little obscene.

REALLY?? WHOO HOO!!! That means I may get there with about 70lbs lost. I was thinking 100. The thought of trying to lose 70lbs terrifies me but its sounds better than 100 :thumbup:

YEA!!!! You can certainly do it!!!!

I would have expected my numbers to be a little different since I am 3 inches shorter than you two, but I was wearing a 14 very comfortably at about 180ish also. I feel like my weight is pretty evenly distributed throughout my body - might be different if I was more pear shaped??

I am now 155 and in 10's easily.

The thought of being back in 14's comfortably makes me smile!

Oh yea pam... I guess I sould have mentioned that I'm a pear. That probably makes a difference

I wear a size 14 comfortably now and I am only 5'2" and 183. So with you being 5'7" there is a good chance you may fit into a size 14 before 70lbs lost. How exciting?! I bet a lot of it depends how you carry your weight as well. I tend to be very pear shaped. Small through the waist and big in the hips. Good luck to you. I am sure you will be there before you know it. Seems you you have a least a good estimate now 170-185ish.

I have always been a hourglass shape. Even at my heaviest I still have a much smaller waist and a bubble booty:( not is a good way, I would love to be a size 10 again but I want to be realistic in my goal setting ya know?

I'm shooting for an 8... I have never ever been an 8... Isn't it fun to fantasize about where we will be this time next year

My main goal, prior to ever considering surgery, was to get back into single digit jeans. I didn't even care what the scale said - so long as it looked good! lol

I feel pretty confident now that I will make it into 8's. A very long time ago, I did wear 5's and 7's. My lowest adult weight, after 2 babies, was 118 - and I didn't look healthy at all, too skinny and gaunt. I have no intention of even trying to get that low again.

Nice that we even have to think about losing too much weight! LOL What a difference a surgery makes! : )
