I think it is interesting the difference in sizes we wear even if our weights are close to the same. Depends on where we carry our extra weight. Mine is around the middle so I have to buy jeans a little bigger but then they are sloppy on my legs. I have been told that it is usually a size smaller for every 10 pounds we lose. But, when we get towards the smaller sizes, it is less than 10 pounds per size. Does that make sense? I hope so
I keep a pair of my 18 jeans hanging in my bathroom just so I remember where I started at. They look huge now. I slip them on every now and then just to pat myself on the back. They are the only pair I kept just to remind myself and they were tight on me and I always hung them up to dry so they wouldn't shrink in the dryer back then.
