Curiosity: I need your help

Ok Ladies and Gents I have a bit of a question to pose you... What is the average weight lost if you go from a womans size 24/26 to a size 16?  A few years ago this is what I lost but since I haven't weighed myself since I was a teen I have no idea how much exactly I've lost, or how much I currently weigh for that matter... lol...

My guess would be 85 - 100 pounds

i started in a 24/26 right now i'm in a 16 or 14.. i've lost 110 pounds

I heard that every 5 pounds you drop a size and yet this is not true for me. :) I have dropped 13 pounds and I have not dropped a size yet. Conversely, I did not drop any weight last summer, but went to a Jazzercise class 3-4 times a week for 6 weeks last summer and dropped 2 sizes.

Hmmm... sorry, I was no help at all.

i agree. i went from 14-16 to 2-4 and that was 70... so i assume since your weight loss happened at a heavier weight it would be closer to 100.

wow...  not at all what I was expecting to read... but gives me a general idea... thanks for the help

It also depends on where you hold your weight.  I'm 5 foot 4, 188 pounds and a size 16/14 right now, closer to a 14 actually and if I lost 100 pounds I don't think I'd be a size 6.  Probably closer to a size 2 or 0.  I happen to have a large chest and bigger hips with a smaller waist, so my size is different than another person who might carry all of their weight in their torso, or have a thicker waist.
