| I’m 5’5” and I’d say 10 pounds really makes a difference, but I’ll notice a slight change at 5 pounds. A whole pant size is somewhere in the 10-15 pound range. |

| Im 5'5" and I've lost 20 lbs I'm 150lbs now. My clothes are looser and I'm down one size about a size 10. I've gone through menopause so my body has shifted around, my muscles and fat are lower, difficult to explain. I lift weights 3 days a week and walk 6 days a week so I'm gaining more muscle. I lost weight through Zepbound, which allows me to control what I'm eating. |

| I started at 127 and noticed around 120. In June I couldn’t fit into nearly every single pair of nice pants. I put them on easily last night. I’m around 117 now. That feeling of my clothes fitting is a much better feeling than eating junk. |

How/where your weight is stored really matters, as well as height. E.g., throughout my life, I gained weight mostly in my hips and thighs and always stayed slim through the belly, waist, and upper body. 5-7 pounds could be the difference in pant size for me, and the issue was always in the saddlebag area. I always had to get pants taken in at the waist.
In menopause, every ounce of weight I gain goes to my belly/waist/muffin top. Now when I gain 5-7 pounds, my pants are too tight at the waist but feel fine through the hips and thighs. (Even at the same weight i was pre-menopause, my waist is not as small as it used to be, so some of my old pants that were altered don't fit anymore.) Upper body stays the same, as usual. If i gained weight through my whole body, I doubt 5-7 pounds would equal a pant size for me. |
