    I am struggling with this one at the moment myself.

    Size 12 (US size 8 - sounds SO much better!) is too big but Size 10 is too small. I lost 10lb and thought I would have at least fit into a 10 by now :(



    OOOO I may by imported clothes just to be a size 8 :O

    I am also stuck in the middle.

    That sounds about right to me. I started at 228, and a size 18/20 depending. When I got down to 205, I was at a 16. When I was around 170, I was a size 12. For me, it's about 20 lbs/clothing size.
    Same here. Clothing sizes vary a lot, but in general I was size 10 at 130 pounds, size 12 at 150, size 14 at 170, and size 16 (but everything was too long) at 190.

    I've lost 28lbs (5'10" from 199lbs to 171lbs) and haven't gone down a single dress size - maybe half a dress size - from a 14UK. I was wearing 12-14UK but mostly 14 at 199lbs but at my lightest 18months ago at 130lbs I was wearing a 10-12.

    My waistline has gone for 30" to 29" and hips from 41" to 39" (at my lightest 26/27" waist and 37" hips).
    I'm not expecting to drop a dress size for perhaps another 10lbs or so, but that's just me (I seem to put on a little layer everywhere that adds up to quite a lot)!
