About how much loss equals a pant size?

[sam30204 0]

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

[stcyt 15]

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

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!

[stcyt 15]

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
