If I lose 40 lbs, how many dress sizes will that be?

Their age is meaningless.

Shut up! We are trying to fit into clothes idiot.

It also depends a ton on your shape. If you are totally proportionate or not, etc. I am an apple, it takes a LOT of weight loss for me to go down a size because of my mid section. I look a lot better at certain weights and look toned, etc but still have a boxy middle and larger bust/ shoulders. I gained a bunch of weight in my early 20s and took it all off and then some over a year or so. I really only went down 2 sizes with 35 lbs, but the pictures looks very very different than 2 sizes

I went from 135 to 125 and size 6 to size 2

I’m in the 10-15lbs per size club.

Have lost 33 and am down from 16 to a 10. I’m 5 ft 7.

I’m 5’10 — when I was 150 I was a 8 — 160 a 10 and now sadly at 180 am a size 14 So I think 10 lbs per dress size.

At 140 lbs, I'm a size 6. At 150 lbs, I can fit into many size 6 but an 8 may fit me better. I'm 5'8". I've been 160 and think I was a size 10.

Good luck - you can do it!

I am practically the same. 5'4", went from 165 to 128 and from size 12 to 8. But as I prefer looser fit I still wear my size 10 jeans. I am a pear, and I do feel like it's so much harder for us pears to drop a size in jeans vs tops or dresses...

But I think the truth is that the hips are just the 'last bastion' of fat and I am determined to lose it. Definitely no lipo for me ))) Calorie counting plus gym, the good old way...

5'2 extreme pear shape. I really only gain and lose in my butt and legs (and face). 160 to (muscular) 130 was size 16-18 to size 6-8 on bottom. Top remains size 6 / 32B regardless of weight.

How tall are you? I'm 5'2", it takes 15 lbs for me to go down a size.

For example, I went from 200 - 160 and that meant 16 to 12. At 140, I was a 10-12

Sorry, but that kind of beauty is super-rare. And Halle Berry cares about her size as well.
