For instance lets say a person weight 140 pounds and was a size 9 and they wanted to drop to a size 6 or whatever the next size down is, how many pounds would one have to loose.
I'm a size 2 currently but would like to gain a size.

Also, sizes arn't based on pounds. It's based on height, shape, size, just everything. Two people with different weights could wear the same size.
If you're planning on trying to gain a size then gain weight in muscle. Muscle weighs more then body fat and would be a healthier way to go up a size then just trying to gain weight in general.

Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you have been working out to build muscle, while you slim down you may not have actually lost any weight (not to be confused with actually losing fatty tissue, which you have done). If you were dieting and working out to lose fatty tissue, there is really no telling how many pounds you lost just by the pant size. The only thing you can tell from this is how many inches you lost in different areas.
