Pounds to Drop a Clothing Size

[Coookies 12]

I was a tight 26/28 at 360... now I'm down to 298 and I'm wearing 22s and 24s... my 22 pants fit, but my 22 jeans are so tight at the waist that they feel like they will explode, so I dare not wear them ..... I know that at 195 I will be a size 12/14 with a large top (from prior experience)

Age is a factor too if you are older you will not have the same amount of normal fat pads then you did when you were younger. I am 20-25 lbs more then what I was in my twenties but I can actually see bones I have never had seen before. Also the younger you are the more your skin will be able to shrink down and hanging skin does add a bit. I am 54 and have lost 62 lbs I was 200 and am 5'2 I have gone down 5 almost 6 sizes down. Hope this helps.

Oh I forgot to mention that you lose differently after the sleeve then you do with diets. Losing 30 lbs pre surgery barely shows while post everyone notices.
