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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
