I've lost about 34 pounds, and have gone from a 10 to between an 8 and a 6. I can still fit nicely into a stretchy 10, though, during and after an up day!

As you get smaller and smaller, it takes less pounds to drop a size.
20-25lbs to see a difference at first. Like XL to L,
then 10-15lbs for L to M,
then 5-10lbs for M to S
When I got to the end, it only takes about 2-3lbs to lose a full inch around my middle. But it gets harder and harder to lose more weight the lighter you become, which is really frustrating.

Wow, that's a really good analogy! And makes me feel better, as I still feel I could use a little less flab.

It's been my experience that 10lbs equal a dress size. How the new dress size fits I would think leans more toward inch loss and where that has occurred.
