I started out in size 20s at 225 and am now in size 8s at 171. When I was larger, there was about 10 pounds between sizes. Now it's more like 5 pounds. I know it's time for new pants when the butt gets droopy. And I know I've waited too long when I have to hitch them up all the day long.
I definitely drop sizes faster as I get closer to my goal weight. It took like 20 lbs to really drop from 16 to 14, then about 15 lbs to drop to a 12, and my guess is it will be 10 lbs to get into a 10.

I'm anxiously waiting to size down. I haven't gone down from a size 18 since starting, but I realize this is proooobably because I shouldn't have been wearing an 18 at my highest weight Lots of dresses and leggings during those days. My wardrobe is dress-heavy so while I might cinch the belt a bit more, I haven't had to buy new ones. 27 pounds and counting...

I bought a pair of capris in a Medium yesterday. All my other ones are large, but they didn't have the color I wanted in Large so I took the Medium. They are tight, but I got them on. A few more pounds and they will be perfect.....and all my other ones will have to be taken in. LOL
