Pounds = Size



Recommended Posts

Any of you that have lost quite a bit of weight: Approximately how many pounds lost equals a size? I have about 100 lbs to lose, wondering how many sizes I'll go through in the next 2-3 months. I know there is no exact science to it, I'm just thinking generally.:biggrin:

Last year I did Optifast and lost 100 pounds in 6 months... I went from a size loose 32 jean to an 18ish depending on the brand and fit......

Hope that helps some.....

They say 10-15 pounds per size.....

I have lost almost 64 pounds this year. I went from an 18 womens to a petite 12-10 so far. I have become a frequent visitor to the local consignment shop!

Good luck!

It might depend on how tall you are. I am pretty short - 5'1" and I think I go down a size for every 20 pounds or so. Or at least, after 20 pounds I can start squeezing into the next size!

I'm 5'9 so I guess I need to lose more to go down a size. The shirt is loser in the tummy but the arms are still pretty tight. =/

but yeah some 30/32's are too small on me some are too big but i just tried on a 26/28 but yet i have some 26/28s that look wonderful on me, I think it all depends on how it's cut, made, where it came from too.

I am down 65 lbs and have lost 4 or 5 sizes-depends on the brand-from 24 to 14/16- so I guess that would equal about 15 lbs per size-I am 5'3.

For me, around 20-some lbs. It varies, since I don't seem to lose weight evenly.

I lost 60 pounds once on phentermine and went from a size 22 to a size 14/15 in 6 month period. I would kill to be in a 15 again... Soon hopefully, waiting to hear from surgeons office today on a yay or nay from insurance.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
