Hi all,
I'm a 20 year old student, going into my third year. Made the student-y mistake of eating and drinking too much my first two years so taking this year to look after myself, get fit, and ideally go down a few dress sizes!
So far my plan is eating a sensible diet (fewer takeaways), I'm spending an hour or so at the gym every day, and just generally being a bit more active. The current hope is to go from a UK14 to a UK8-10

We're similar sizes with the same goal! I started as a UK18 and am now between a 12 and 14 (depending on brand etc) and want to wind up as an 8. :-)0
