How much weight lost to move down one shirt size?

First off I know everyone's bodies are different and we all lose fat differently.  I was just wondering what people's experiences has been.  Especially bigger 300+ guys.  

 

Thanks

In my experience, it depends on the type of weight it is. I could wear a large shirt from 195 lbs to 250 (it was the freshman 50 for me), but at 250 I could hear the stitches begging for mercy. Then I dropped to about 230 and fit back into a large comfortably, but now I've gained back to 260. This time, though, I don't feel like I'm stretching my shirts. I don't exactly know how this happens, but I know that I feel slightly thinner at 260 now than I did at 250 a little while back.

I can only answer for the gals, but generally 10 lbs is a dress size.  Not sure how that equates to shirts???
