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

What was it for you? What about bra cup/band size? I'm really going to try to do this. Not looking for a particular dress size. I'm 180 right now and can't take it anymore. I'm looking at 140 as my happy weight. And no, don't want to be thinner than that. It's not realistic for me.

TIA

Depends on how tall and fit you are.

For me, I lose a dress size with every 10 lbs lost. I am 5'3" and weigh 150 and if I lost 10 lbs I'd go from size 14 to 12.

I lost 90 pounds and went from a size 18 to a size 6.

My mom was a lifelong seamstress and always said 10lbs to a size was the average. IE: 140 down to 130 would equal a size drop.

I lost 30 lbs and 2 sizes (14 to 10). Working on the next 10 lbs which hopefully would take me to an 8. I am 5'9" so an 8 would be fine.

I'm 5"2 and I lost 30lbs. I went from a 12 to a 4 or 6. My bra size went from 38C to 34B

I went from 183 to 143 (at 5'9"). Started at a 14/16 and went to 8/10.

It would be about 3 for me, I map closely to about 10 pounds per size.

I would say about 10 lbs per size at the bottom end, but more like 20 lbs between 14 and 16 and on up. I'm sad that I know this information.

It depends how tall you are, and what side you are now. The bigger size you are, the more you pounds there are between sizes. The smaller, the fewer pounds. For example - it may take someone 15 lbs to go from a 14 to a 12, but 5 lbs to go from a 6 to a 4.

When I lost 20lbs it was about two full dress sizes.

5'4
Started at 196 and size 16. Now 156 and 10, but almost 8

I don't know, OP…but I was 210 at my worst, got to about 180 and stabilized. Now I'm 138 and have been for a while.…I'm 5' 5" and maybe a size 8 in a coat or dress…I'm a little bigger in jeans and smaller on top.

Just want to say, you can do it! It's doable! If you want to know how people like me did it, do another post.

Not OP but please share! I'm 175 and would love to be 135. How long did it take you to lose the weight? What would your meals from a typical day look like?

I'm happy to talk about it on another post; don't want to hijack OPs post
