Hi

What you look like in regards to particular weights will all depend on if you're working out. A more muscular body will look smaller than someone of the same weight who hasn't done much working out at all, hope that makes sense.

I'm 5ft 9" 137lbs and wear (uk) size 10, sometimes size 8.

yeah i know but it would just be nice to see something or a weight range for what im aiming for is all cause ive never been slim so i really dont know what my weight range should be from what ive seen the weight im aiming for is quite low for the goal size i want though and thats giving me hope aha and also i do work out i dont do weights but i do running & i walk quite alot

Why don't you strength train? Its true that muscle looks smaller than fat, so it's possible that two people could weigh the same and be the same height but if one works out and the other doesn't then most likely the one who works out will look better in clothes (and not to mention swimwear) because of the muscle definition/tone.

theres no reason why i dont i just don't know what to do if im completely honest ive literally only just began this journey and ive only been losing weight doing cardio and cutting calories so far i dont fear gaining muscle or anything because im aware muscle will look different as i lose fat so gaining muscle doesnt really bother me its just knowing what to do..

You'll learn loads on here. I just came on here to lose the last of my baby weight, now I'm trying to achieve/maintain a better looking body, I've learnt quite a bit on here and it's given me great ideas on what workouts to do and found so many I really enjoy.

There's nothing wrong with what you're doing, lots of cardio to lose weight, it's exactly what I did. Then when you've within GW range maybe switch or incorporate some strength training.

I was just wondering cuz some people are super adverse to any type of strenght training. I would suggest, if you can hire one, getting a personal fitness instructor, my sister who is on MFP as well (melliamsburg if you want to add her), her husband hired a personal trainer for her and she has already lost like 15 pounds and is really toning up. If a personal trainer isn't an option, if you belong to a gym then just ask a (nice) person at the customer service desk to help you with the machines. If you don't have a gym membership, I wouldn't really suggest buying a bunch of weights unless you know someone who already has them and just asking them for help. Those are my suggestions, hope it helps!!

If you join a gym, most members would more than likely help you out. People get excited when you tell them you think what they are doing is worth copying :-). Also, the strength machines all have instructions on them.
