Sizes?

Hi all- Quick question that is really insignificant in the scheme of things, I'm just wondering. How do you say the number of sizes you've lost? If you'd gone from a 32 to a 24 how many sizes would you have lost? Thanks! Christina S

I would say I have lost 32, 30, 28, 26, 24 - so therefore I have lost 5 sizes - at least I am 5 sizes smaller - that is my math and I am sticking to it!!! Jackie

Jackie- That's what I was thinking too...just wanted to be sure I had my thinking cap on right! Thanks! Christina S

Generally sizes run in 2's. So I was a 26 (going by pant size), 24, 22,20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, now and 8. that's 8 sizes for me! It did take 50 pounds of weight loss to move from a 26 to a 24. Once I got to a 18, the sizes went down so fast, I actually skipped size 16 all together.

Jane- Thanks! That's great information to know about the time/pounds between 26 and 24....I seem to be tettering between the two in pants....and it's taken longer to tetter to the 24s than it was before. Good to know I'm "normal"....or at least not alone in my experience! I was really hoping to be in my adorable 22s by my birthday, but I'll just have to wait....the clothes will be there when I'm ready for them! Christina S

It frustrated the heck out of me that it took that long, but I after that first 50 pounds, I was in a new size about every 5-6 weeks. So don't go crazy buying clothes!!! When you get to Large Shirts and size 14/12's let me know. I have some great size 14/12 capri pants and pretty tops that may fit you. Are you going to Richmond?

Thanks! I'll let you know..that is the size that I don't have...I have pretty much everything until I get there. I'm not going to Richmond...but have fun! Christina S

Hey Christina, I used to sew but have forgotten some of the info so this is an estimate...it is something like 4 inches between plus sizes and 2 inches between regular sizes which explains why your sizes will drop quicker once you get down to misses clothing. Christine

HI Christina, I don't know where all those other people learned math, but 24 from 32 is 8, so you went down 8 sizes!! Yup, I like the sound of that one!! Cause aren't there junior sizes in there somewhere, like from a 14 to a 13 to a 12 to an 11!! See, we can make it work out to whatever we want. Congratuations on losing 8 sizes Christina!!! And Happy New Year to you, hope to see you at the next support!! love donna

I like your thinking Donna. But loosing 16 sizes makes me feel that I was once about 1000 pounds! LOL
