I've lost nearly 20 pounds so far, and gone from an 18 to a 14. So, by that logic, I would assume that I lose a dress size every 5 pounds or so. Which seems reasonable (especially given shows like The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp where they set a goal of two dress sizes down). The thing is that that would mean that at 180, I would be in a size 10. Only, the last time I was able to squeeze into a 10 was when I weighed about 165.
Just FWIW, I'm measuring these "sizes" by the same company and the same item of clothing (Old Navy Jeans), so I know that a 14 at ON would be different from one at Guess? or something.
The reason I ask is because I want to lose about 20 pounds between now and the end of August, and I'd like to fit into a size 10 dress from Banana Republic (which uses the same measurement chart as Old Navy, since they're owned by the same company).
Have other people found the 5 pound = 1 size who are around my height?
The other thing is this: I finally have a really, really accurate scale, and the one I used in the past was a flimsy 10-dollar one. I just don't know how far off they were. So obviously if I thought I was 165 and I was really 175, then this might still work.
But I'm mostly asking what other people have found in terms of dress size conversion with their weights.
