Weight Loss Pant Size Formula:

The weight loss pant size (PSL) is a measurement often used to estimate the change in waistline or pant size following a weight reduction program. By examining the waist size difference before and after weight loss, PSL allows for a simple and intuitive way to quantify progress in inches lost from the waistline. It provides a straightforward measurement method by relating weight loss to a proportional reduction in waistline size, which can then be translated into pant sizes.

This method typically assumes that a specific amount of weight loss correlates to a predictable reduction in waist circumference, thus impacting pant size. The factor used in this calculation is based on a general guideline that for every 10 pounds lost, the waistline reduces by about 1 inch. This approach is useful for giving approximate estimates for weight-related size changes, although individual results may vary due to body composition differences, muscle mass, and fat distribution.

To find PSL, you divide the weight loss (WL) in pounds by 10, yielding the proportional waistline reduction in inches. This method highlights how weight changes translate into a potentially smaller pant size, serving as an effective metric for tracking goals.

Pant size loss, PSL(in) in inches is calculated by dividing the total weight loss, WL(lbs) in pounds by 10.

Pant size loss, PSL(in) = WL(lbs) / 10

PSL(in) = pant size lost in inches, in.

WL(lbs) = weight loss in pounds, lbs.

Weight Loss Pant Size Calculation:

  1. If a person loses 25 pounds, calculate the reduction in pant size.

Given: WL(lbs) = 25lbs.

Pant size loss, PSL(in) = WL(lbs) / 10

PSL(in) = 25 / 10

PSL(in) = 2.5in.

  1. Suppose someone wants to reduce their pant size by 3 inches. Calculate the necessary weight loss to achieve this goal.

Given: PSL(in) = 3in.

Pant size loss, PSL(in) = WL(lbs) / 10

WL(lbs) = PSL(in) * 10

WL(lbs) = 3 * 10

WL(lbs) = 30lbs.
