Just looking for an estimate, about how many pounds does it take to drop a clothing size?


Question:
I know that all people are different. I also know that some weight that could be lost is water weight, or pounds added could be due to muscle.

My mom bought a shirt and I LOVED it. I usually take an extra large but this shirt happened to be Large and it fits WONDERFULLY! I went to the store that she got the shirt at, and I found several other shirts very similar to it and decided to buy them (I'm NOT a big shopper, and I'm very pickey about my clothes, its rare for me to find something I like. So when I see something - i get it!)..

I bought an Extra large in this one shirt that my mom also has, but hers wont fit over my chest(hers is large) (I'm almost 2 cup sizes bigger than my mom)..
The extra large isnt so comfortable. I dont know if its becuase I need to drop a few more pounds or if its how the shirt is supposed to be. Anyways, i've been losing about 5lbs every 2 weeks (I have 50lbs to lose).

Answers:
Approximately 10 pounds for pants sizes. For shirt sizes I'd guess 15 - 20 pounds. For instance someone could fit in a size medium shirt at 125 pounds and still fit in a small at 140 pounds. It also depends on your build.
I think it's between 10 - 15 pounds. Keep going with your healthy weight loss regime. Sounds like you have your head in the right place.
