Hey. so Ive sort of worked out what size I would like to be... and I was wondering if I am being realistic? Ive put two pics on my profile of size guides with what I am and what I would like highlighted: I would really appreciate it if I could get some feedback???

    It's really difficult to tell because I can't distinguish exactly what size you want to be based on those pictures in your profile. I will suggest weighted ab work, heavy strength training, and a diet that is conducive to cutting fat (not low calories). Good luck!

    Sizes are just numbers. And they vary by manufacturer. Don't go by the number on a label or the number on the scale. Go by what you see in the mirror.

    sorry for the confusion with numbers.... I guess more simply I am currently between 8-10 depending on brand and would like to be closer to 6-8?? I know size isnt everything, but I am never happy with what I see which is why I am trying to find something else to base judgement off?

    Use a tape measure! I'm a size 8, I'm at the top of my 'healthy weight' and want to lose weight to be nearer the bottom, I think if I lose the weight (around 1-2 stone) I'll still be a size 8 so will be using a tape measure so I know I'm toning etc

    I reached my goal of 134 and I am a size 4. Sometimes the pants are loose at the waist, though. I am 5'5 1/2" tall. I just picked the number in the middle of the BMI chart. I could use some strength training but I started at a size 16 and 205 pounds for my absolute highest weight.

    SW: 167lb (76kg) size: 14
    CW: 133lb (60.5kg) size 8/10
    GW: 110lb (50kg) size 6/8

    just really not seeing the changes in size at the moment, I know my body fat is dropping slowly but where I want to be loosing the size doesnt seem to change?

    How tall are you? Also, what country's sizes are you using? US? UK?

    Are the photos on your profile current ones of you? If so, I struggle to see where you would lose 23 lbs from. Do you know your body fat %?
