How much weight should I lose if I want to be a specific dress/pant size? Have you ever wondered?
It is difficult to answer because we’re all built differently. Plus, not all pounds are the same! A pound of muscle takes up less space in your body (and in your jeans!) than a pound of fat. For example, you might be able to drop a dress size simply by toning up with weight resistance, while the number on the scale stays the same.
But if you’re curious what size you might be at a certain weight, I found a great calculator resource at WebMD. It is called the Personal Diet Evaluator. You give them some info about your current habits, your weight, your pant size, etc, and it cranks out not only how many pounds to lose to become a certain size but a whole bunch of relevant information to help you reach your goals. But remember, be careful not to fixate too much on a certain weight or dress size because we all come in different shapes and sizes and the best you can do is keep your body healthy and work with what you got! You are beautiful as you are! Plus, how much fun would it be to reach a teeny tiny dress size if it is way to hard to maintain, requiring continued deprivation?! No fun! Pick a HAPPY WEIGHT if that helps!
