10lbs = 1 dress size?? Truth /Old wives tale?

[yummymummynot]

Hi all

My lipotrim lady said this morning at weigh in that every 10 lbs lost equates to a dress size. Anyone know if this is true or is it just an old wives tale?

I would love to think i have dropped a dress size and am only 4 lbs away from a second but I somehow dont feel that I am

ive lost nearly 2 stone and gone down 1 size, but they are tight and not comfy, so prob need another half stone for a comfy fit so thats going to be 2.5 stone lost and 1 dress size for me! i think the smaller you are the quicker you are to go down a size, so for instance a size 8 or 10 will prob drop a size after loosing 10lbs yes, but the bigger you are im guessing the more you have to lose to drop down a size... thats just my theory on it anyway lol, i guess also its alot to do with peoples body shape etc and where the weight comes off x

Last time on LT, I went down 4-5 dress sizes with just over 7 stones! If only that were true!

I think it depends on personal size. I've lost 16lbs and haven't dropped a size yet. But then I'm much bigger to start with. Someone who starts smaller may find 16lbs a massive loss and go down a dress size. Like most things on this diet - it's 100% personal! x

I think it is also how the current size fit you, if you're squeezing into a 16 then it might take more than 10lb to get to a 14, but if a 16 fits you great if a little loose then 10lb might get you to a 14.

My mate lost 9st on a VLCD and went from a 24 to a 12, so 6 sizes in 9 stone, but when I did it last and lost 2 stone I was 18 to a 16.

And don't forget stores are horrid about being a 16 in one shop and a 14 in another or an 18 in another - standard sizes isn't really true IMO


and well done on your 10lb's


and I'm using 16 as the first figure that came into my head, obviously not sure what yours is

Ah sugar it anyway - and there was me dreaming that I was nearly 2 dress sizes down. I told ye i look in the mirror and see someone else!!!

I knew it inside though as I dont think I have even dropped one size yet!!!!

Ah well - it was lovely while it lasted.

Heres to another week!!

Hi hun,
I've lost 19lbs and have gone down 2 dress sizes! But alongside the diet I have been exercising and toning a lot which I think probably had a big part to play.

I lost 3 stone and went down 2/3 dress sizes but the 14 was from New Look and I find they come up bigger in their jeans so....Yeah I don't know about that. But like everyone else has said its purely personal.

Good Luck xx
