Body type, how heavy you are to begin and how your clothing fits you right now just to mention few factors. When I first started my venture I'd say it took almost 25 lbs or so. Now that I am smaller, probably 10 lbs or so. I was dropping dress sizes so quickly at one point I couldn't keep up. I started at a 26/28 and am now down to a 6. Just stick with your good eating and exercise plan and the weight WILL come off and those dress sizes will drop. |

Depends on body shape, how much you have to lose to begin with, and we all know women�s clothing sizes are no where near standard and don�t make a lick of sense most of the time. It took me about 6 months to drop 30 lbs, went from a 16 to a 14. Might have been almost 2 sizes since I probably should have been wearing 18 at some point but was just in denial. One year later, still wearing that 14. |

Posts: 2,107 S/C/G: 196/160/125 Height: 5'5" | Let's see...it's kinda hard for me to say because i really haven't bought that many new outfits yet. When i weighed 196 I should have been in a Misses 18 but was sucking it into my 16's. When I lost 25 pounds to 170 I bought a pair of Misses 14 dress pants. Now that I have dropped another 11 pounds, I can feel wiggle room in my 14's but am waiting a little longer before I go out and buy a pair of Misses 12's. I could probably pull my dress pants down without unzipping them if I tried, but I dont' have the money to buy a new pair of pants and since these aren't falling off on their own...I can wait. But i do walk around pulling them back up to my waist because they like to slide down to my hips. |

I started in July 2004 at 200 lbs, wearing a tight size 18. I was definitely a loose size 16 by early September, weighing about 165 lbs. So, for me...it took about 2 months and 30 lbs to go from a tight size 18 to a loose size 16. |

I can still wear my 16's but they are baggy on me and I really don't like to wear them unless i have to. |

| Used to be Archy Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Illinois Posts: 482 S/C/G: 220/171/145 Height: 5'4 | Since I haven`t bought any clothes since my weightloss: My 18s are unwearable. I have one size 16 belt and I am on the very first hole and the pants will still find a way to drag down. My 16s are huge. Not just about some wiggle, but more than an inch on each side of my hips huge. So I guess I may be a 14 now and squeezing to a 12. I hope I`m a 12 by the time I return to the US mid-August. |

I just tried on some of my 18's and some of them are quite loose, and I am fitting into some of my 'smaller' 18's well now, which is nice.. but I am still an 18, lol! I have very large hips, so it's hard for me to move sizes I tried on my 16 jeans and there is absolutely no way that I am anywhere near fitting in them.. they are skin tight on my thighs and about 4 inches from coming anywhere near to buttoning. Blech. I have really been working on my food intake so far and feel confident in it now, and I really need to add in gym time at least a few times a week... walking is out because it's 500 degrees.

| I deserve to feel good! Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Northern New Jersey Posts: 648 S/C/G: 250/225/150 Height: 5'5" My 3FC Diet Blog | I can't really give a time frame because sometimes I lose fast, sometimes slow, sometimes not at all (like right now, I've been stuck at 201 for almost 3 weeks!) But for me it takes about 15 pounds lost to squeeze into the next size down and 20 pounds lost to fit nice and comfortable in the next size down. |

| Boston Qualifier and MOM Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 6,346 Height: 5'3.75" | I lost a PANT size very quickly, I think I am down several, I still have yet to lose a DRESS size because my limiting factor hasnt changed much, ok maybe I am down 1 dress size, but because I am so disproportionate I never wear dresses For awhile every 7-8 lbs was giving me a pant size, but I have been in the same size now for probably 10 lbs. |

I have like no hips or bum and so when I lost weight, I still wore the same size for a long time, the waist seemed to still fit and the hips and legs were all baggy. It looked ridiculous. |
