    I'm totally stunned by how different all these numbers are for different people! And it reminds me why I hate shopping for clothes. The size I wear depends on the brand I buy.

    This. I find that the more high end the designer the less they do what's called vanity sizing (i.e. you mentioned Ralph Lauren specifically as needing a bigger size). In my post I put I was pant size 8, but in most stores/most of my jeans the tag actually reads 6 due to vanity sizing.

    Yeah, my Ralph Lauren denim shorts are a US 10, although I could probably just about squeeze into an 8, but my Abercrombie and Fitch trousers are an 8 and loose.

    Hi Everyone!

    I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you all for responding and being so honest and positive - not a *****y comment out there which is SOOOOOOOOOOOO impressive on any forum post at the moment!!!!!!!!

    Just to let you know I do actually take measurements, neck, hips, waist and boobsicles and I have lost 3 inches off my waist and 2 off my hips and luckily none off my bust!!!!!

    I also take front and side pictures so I can see the difference in the pictures although I don't post these online.

    I think we've all done brilliantly so far and we will continue to do amazingly I'm sure, I'm always looking for a bit of inspiration and motivation and today you've all provided it - you bunch of superstars!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck ladies, keep up the hard work! xx

    I weigh 225, and I'm a UK 14-16 in tops, and a 16-18 in bottoms. I'm 5' 7"

    My goal is about a 10.. although I'll be happy at whatever weight, I'm aiming for about 140 (but will assess when I get to my goal size).
    Lift. Lift heavy. Rest. Lift some more. Eat more. Maybe add in a bit of cardio just to break things up.

    That's my philosophy.

    I weigh 202, and I am a US 12-14 in pants, and M-L in tops. I am 5'4". My goal weight would be about 165ish I guess. It depends on how my body shapes up. Anything below 160 makes me look like I haven't eaten in months lol.

    I'm 5'8" 157-160 size 6 starting to fit into 4s, I just went shopping today in pants. I'm a medium or small in dresses and tops. I'm a total rectangle with narrow hips and smallish chest,with kind of a wider rib cage and shoulders, not an inverted triangle though, thank goodness I still have a curvy butt!

    I'm 5'3" and currently at 145 lbs (give or take a couple, it fluctuates), and I generally wear a size 8. I'm hoping to get down to around a size 2 or 4, and somewhere in the 125-130ish range although throughout this whole process I've kinda been re-evaluating every 10 lbs or so. I realize a size 2(ish) goal sounds like a lot, but I have a very small frame and I'm pretty short, so it's not unrealistic for my body (I've been a size 0 before in my early adult life). Ideally I'd like to get my body fat % down to around 20% and just all around be noticeably in-shape.

    ETA those would be US sizes, not UK sizes. I have no idea what that translates to in kg/stones/UK sizing :smile:

    I am 5'5", 180 and am size US 10 or 11 on bottom and a ladies' large or XL large on top (I have a large chest). I would like to lose about a size on the bottom and I really don't care too much about the top.
