How many sizes did u go down vs. the amt you've lost? curious..

Just thought Id put this out there. I was curious to see how many sizes others have went down in connection with their weight loss.

I personally as of post have lost (after many ups and downs lol) 56 pounds.......and I'll be damned I aint changed a pant size yet.....or maybe I have I just dont realize or something. I definately know that pants that were a tad big on me before I totally cant wear, but the ones that actually fit, still fit. I havent tried a smaller size yet for fear that I might get upset.....lol.

My shirts I guess have gone down. But are still generally the same, just arent as tight as before.....dont think Ive come across anything yet that I totally cant wear......

Ive listed my sizes below

CURRENT WEIGHT:193

PANT SIZE:16

SHIRT SIZE 14/16 PRIOR SHIRT SIZE: 2X OR 18/20

WOW! what a great response to my thread.....I posted this late so I didnt think it would get so many responses......

Thanks again everyone, its really given me some insight on the situation.....:)

I started out weighing 359 lbs at 5ft 5 inches that was a size 34 womans pants and a 4x5x top. This morning i weighed 182 and wear a 16 jeans or a snug 14 and an XL top. Ive gone from a 52 dd bra to a 42 d. and i recently had my wedding rings resized from a 9 1/2 to a 6 1/2. I still have my size 34 pants that i wore to my lapband seminar, my teenage daughter and i can stand side by side inside my old pants! I plan on trying to get down to a size 12!

Weight:295 -------> 167lbs

Bust: 44DDD ------> 36DD

Shoe: 10 ---------> 9-9.5

Pants: 26/28W ----> 12

Top: 26/28W-3X --> Large

KelinTX - OMG how amazing. Congratulations! I wish I had kept my outfit from that day. I totally forgot to keep my largest.

Great job everyone. Pat yourselves on the back, you totally deserve it!

I was a 22 pant and 3x shirt I am now a 14 pant and xl shirt after 60 pounds.

My goal is to be in a 10 pant and a med/large shirt.

I am 5'8" tall and started at 304. I was wearing size 26/28W.

I have lost about 90lbs and I am now wearing 16 and 18 (no W) bottoms and 18-22 tops, depending on the cut (still have most of my chest).

I noticed it took a long time for me to actually start dropping sizes. But now it seems as though I have to get a new size every like 15lbs.

Anyway, I started at a size 24 & now a 14/12/10 haha yeah.

My tops were 2x & now they can be a L/M/S.

Its kind of weird.

I am having some similar problems. I am losing in the boobs, around the hip joint, and in my legs a bit, but my abdomen remains the same. So do my flabby arms. So, I need larger sizes (or elastic waist/drawstring) for the bottoms to fit the tummy. I also need sleeves roomy enough for my fat arms, even though the body part is usually too big then. Try buying a coat or jacket with that issue going on! I have lost 32 bls. in just under 4 months, and I have been happy with the weight loss. I wonder if the abdominal issue has something to do with the surgery itself, or the position of the port. Anyone have an ythoughts/knowledge on that one?

Starting at 5'4" @ 352lbs was wearing 4X tops and 28W "TIGHT" slacks. Since surgery on May 19th, 2008 I am now wearing 22W slacks and 2X tops. I have lost a total of 70lbs and I would have the surgery again in a heartbeat!!

i started at a 24 pant and a 26 shirt although i could fit into some 22 shirts too. ive lost 42 pounds and the 24 pants arent falling off me yet but are really baggy and obviously too big. Im not going to buy new pants until they literally fall off of me lol. I did however buy a 22 jean which fits so ive lost a pant size with all that weight..booo.... and a shirt size. i wear a 22 comfortably and could probably wear some 20s my underwear are huge now and my bras are too loose. kinda disappointing to lose 42 pounds and know im still fat enough to wear a 24. wahhhh.. but the weight will come off and im sure the lower i go the more sizes i will drop and faster. here is to hoping.

I am 5'9", pear shaped, and started at 260ish. I was wearing size 22 pants, XL/1X shirts but I think the pants were stretched out because I am now 213 and wearing brand new size 20 pants and they fit well. I am still wearing XL shirts but they are loose. I've been a little discouraged, however I am also wearing old pants that I haven't worn in many years so that makes me feel better. I am getting really close to Onederland so the size of my clothes won't matter at that milestone...

I'm finding that this time around in losing weight compared to when I was last this weight (2002), I am a smaller size and have NO IDEA why.

I've lost about 63 lbs and dropped 5 sizes. Was originally 233 lbs and a size 20 (although I did my best to get away with size 18s...I didn't want to be in the 20's!!!). I'm now about 170 and a size 10. HUH? LOL The last time I was a size 10, I was in the 150's. I don't get it - go figure.
