    There's no way to give you a really specific amount of pounds. It depends on height, body composition, muscle to fat ratio, etc. etc. Why not just wait and see?

    We are all different. I am just over 5' 6" and carry weight pretty evenly. Around 165 or so I can be in a 10. I hope to get down to 150 or so and be in an 8 again!

    Well, sizes are all different. Like right now, I'm around 170-180 and I'm a size 6/8. So you really won't know until you actually lose the weight.

    Also, PLEASE use spellcheck! >.O

    You may want to look up what a healthy weight is for your height/gender. That will give you a target weight to start with.

    I also have to agree with those asking you to please not use caps-lock and use spell check...it makes you seem like you're much less intelligent than I'm sure you are!

    I had a nutritionist tell me that each dress size you lose is generally 10lbs and I've found that to be about right in my own experience, so you'd want to lose about 30 lbs, since women's dress sizes run only in even numbers.

    Although, if you don't mind a little advice: don't focus on the numbers so much. I got on the scale today at my doctor's office and the nurse was shocked I weighed as much as I did. The number on the scale may not turn out to look the way you want. Focus on losing 1-2 pounds a week, and see were you are in a month or so, that will give you a better idea of how much weight you want to lose.

    I tend to go down one size in jeans when I lose 10 pounds. So I'd say a 25 pound loss in addition to the 8 you've already had success with!

    There is 14lb in 1 stone - 10 stone = 140lb, if thats your main goal and nothing else really then you will need to focus on exercises for your tummy, bum and thigh area as starting points.
