Any ladies 5'7"ish go from 18/20 to 10/12 (UK Sizing)?

Options
Hey All,

As the title says... any ladies 5'7"ish go from 18/20 to 10/12 (UK Size)? I'm intrigued as to how much you needed to lose to achieve this? I'm currently 18/20 and weigh 237lb... Ideally i'd like to lose about 100lb but as I've never been slim I have NO IDEA how much realistically I'd need to lose to achieve a 10/12 figure? Any help, info would be so appreciated! Pics would be awesome too if you have any!

Thanks Ladies!

    I'm 5'7" and am currently a UK 10 top and 12 bottom. I weigh 152lbs at the moment, but it's not toned weight. Hope that helps?

    I am 5''8 and in the past ( about 10 years ago) when I was a 10/12 I weighed around 10 stone. I suppose it depends on shape though.

    I think sizing has changed now aswell.

    Hey Swampstar,

    Definately! All info is good info, so thank you! It's just so I can get a rough idea about how weights reflect into sizing... I know everyones different but it gives some rough estimates!

    Thanks again!

    I think sizing has definately changed, I was a 10 last year and can almost fit back into my skinny jeans from last year. Bought a pair the other week and I'm no way near being able to do them up, they're more like an 8!

    The best piece of advice I've been given in recent months is to not look at the labels in clothes. I know I'm a 12, but some shops I need to get a 14 and some I can get a 10. It's crazy.

    You're definately more toned than I am, from the same county too. I'm in Flitwick!

    I'm 5ft6" and was struggling to get into size 12 trousers at 158lbs, but fitting somewhat better at 149lbs. I can sometimes get size 10 tops, but usually because of my boobs I need a 12 or a 14.

    I'm 5'8-5'9 ish and I fit into a 10/12 at 160 and a comfortable 10 around 150. My body is semi toned but my weight is evenly distributed (very hourglass looking) so I think it's more of knowing where your body keeps your weight because you can weight 140 but still be a 12 if you're more of a pear shape.

    Hello, I was actually a size 22 US and am now down to a 10/12 US just since the end of April 2011. If you want to become friends you can see my pictures. I started at 251 pounds and am now down to 165. If I can do it you can do it too with motivation and dedication to get to your goal!

    Hi im 5" 6 and currently weight 138lbs and am between a 10/12 most of my clothes are a 12, but that because of my hugh thighs. I can wear 10 tops though. But definately depends on what shop im in.

    hi, im currently 172lbs 5.8ft and a size 10 on top and 12-14 on the bottom, once again depending on the shop and cut of the skirts and trousers!! I am an hour glass figure so thats probaly why my bottom half is bigger (and more annoying to get clothes) but I def keep my weight on my bum and thighs! so i guess it depends where you hold most of your weight as I can see from the previous psots we're all like 40lbs different and the same size!!

    any ways good luck and keep po:drinker: sitive!

    5'7-and3/4s, UK 18, aiming for a small 14 (huge ribcage, so smaller is unlikely, though I'd LOVE to be a 12). Starting weight 111kg, now 98.4kg, and stalled it seems (grrr.), but aiming for around 25-35kg total loss. If you'd like to be friends, given that we have similar goals and stats, feel free to add me.
