How many pounds equals one dress size down?

@ Chickadee81.... LOL join the club. That's my problem too. my waist fit fine, but the legs and butt part is saggy and way too big.

Wow you ate 191 and in a size 12! Awesome! How tall are you?

I am 195 and in a size 16 I am 5 "8 1/2

Thanks to everyone who has replied!! Keep up the answers!

I dont go by dress sizes, because you can cheat a dress size WWWAAAAAAAYYYY to easy, especially depending on the cut. An A line is very forgiving and deceiving. I'm all about the jean size. I started at 285 and in a size 24 jeans from lane bryant. I am currently down to 191 and in a size 12 from old navy. For me it takes about 15 pounds to go down a true size....but that's just me.

I've lost 25lbs and not even 1 dress size yet :thumbup:!! I carry most of my weight in my abdomen and have lost most of my weight in my thighs and butt---so now I just have a saggy ass and baggy legs on pants that fit my waist :mad2:.

Same exact problem lol--:thumbup:

I'm currently 189lbs in a size 14 (pant, skirt and dress) and now wear a size L top. This from 230lbs and size 18-20 bottoms and dresses and 2xl tops.

On average, I've dropped a size w/ every 14 pounds lost.

I always thought it was 10 lbs a size too, but for me that hasn't really been the case. I am down 64 lbs and I went from a 26 and now I am in mostly 18s and some 20s. I just got a fill last week and have dropped 4 pounds since then, so I will see how long it takes me to drop another size. Congrats to everyone with the weight loss, keep up the good work!!

I am 181 and a size 12P in a Tahari suit which seem to be cut small. I am 5 4" - I lost about 60 lbs and went from an 18 maybe a 20 to he 12. Today people said they thought I was 150. I'm muscular though. Been riding dressage faithfully for years used to weight train once upon a time but now its just the riding (horses that are difficult to move around ie lazy).

I am right there with you MrsCabes...I am down 35 and my pant size hasnt changes at all. my bra size however has...and my face and neck are slimmer. I'm ready for the bottom half to start shrinking!

Isn't it 12 lbs?

I've lost 90 and 9 dress sizes, so maybe 10? I dunno sorry :smile2:

Just like some of the others, I am down 35lbs and have not changed to a different size in jeans. I am tall (5'11"), so I think that is part of the issue. I will admit that my jeans definitely seem to be sagging in the back, though. I am just relieved that I am finally seeing some type of change!

i lost about 100 pounds and 10 dress sizes 16 to 6 so maybe the 10 pound rule worked for me!
