Clothes sizes

How much weight do you find you need to lose to change clothes sizes?
My SW consultant was saying recently that 10 pound loss was a dress size
A friend of mine said for her it was a stone
For me it's 1.5 stone!!
I've lost 3 stone 4 pound so far and gone from a size 18 to a 14
I'm aiming to lose another 3 stone - which would make me a size 10 (I've been that weight before and was a 10)
I'm not even particularly tall (5 foot 4 inch)
Is this that unusual?
I told someone recently I wanted to lose another 3 stone and they were genuinely shocked and said they thought I wasn't far off target and thought I was maybe aiming for another stone which would make me a 12 (I get into some 12s now as guess I'm between sizes)

I found it was about half a stone last time I did SW. This time it's been much more. I was an 18/20 but now in a 12/14 and am 3st 2.5lbs down.

1.5 stone and almost down a size, saying almost as not 100% comfortable

It is different depending on starting size. The larger sizes are further apart. It was about 16lb for the 18 down to 16. It was nearer 14lb for the 16 to 14. The 14 to 12 was less than a stone. And only about 8lb to get to the 10.

I've lost 2.5 stone and gone from a big 16 to a big 12/small 14.

3 stone loss has taken me from an 18/20 to 12/14 (14 on the bottom!). My target was four stone lost but I'm actually really happy where I am for now! (Although still technically 'obese')

I don't seem to be moving dress sizes at all I've lost 2.5 stone but I still wear some of the same clothes. I'd say I've gone from a tight 18 to a loose 16. I'll be happy as a comfortable 14. I have 1.5 stone till target so we'll see what happens.

I've lost 1.5 stone. I'm a size 20/22 my clothes are a bit looser on me but I haven't bought any smaller sizes yet as I have a lot to lose and will just buy smaller as I need them or when my clothes fall off me!

I think it varies person to person. When I originally lost weight 6 stone took me from a 22 to a 12. I've just got back to my target weight having put on just over a stone over the last year, but I was still wearing a 12 (my clothes just fit properly now instead of cutting me in half!)
