...........and a UK size 14?

I would like to know what weight you are. I am currently a UK20 in trousers and 18 in tops. I have a wedding to go to in October, and I want to buy myself the most STUNNING dress, and I am thinking of buying it now in a size 14. I just want to know what weight I would need to get down to, and therefore if it is achieveable.

Thanks :smile:

    Sometimes you can lose inches and not weight but generally a size 14 is around 12.5 stone to 14.5 stone depending on height =. i am 5 3" and i'm a size 14 and i weigh about 13.5 stone.

    Hope that helps x

    I'm 5'6". When I was 150 lbs I was still wearing mostly size 12 clothes but they were pretty snug. I'd have been more comfortable in a size 14 I think but didn't want to buy bigger stuff!

    Of course you can get there if you put your mind to it! You are doing so well!

    Hi there I'm 5ft 5 and a size 14 and weigh 13st 5lbs (186lbs) I'm a bit bigger on the bottom half so size 14 dresses fit me well and i usually find a size 16 too big. I always thought i should be bigger for my weight as other people that have told me they wear the same clothing size as me are up to a stone or stone com a half lighter! I suppose everyone's different :) best of luck with your goal ;) xx

    Wow! Interesting that there's such a wide weight range ... I'm 5'6 and size 14 is my aim (I'm a size 18 now at 215lb), though a 12 would be the ultimate dream. I'm aiming for a goal weight of 150lb which is the highest weight in the 'normal' BMI range ... but will see WHEN I get there :)

    Hey suzycreamcheese :) I know it's weird how we can all be such drastically different sizes at the same weight as someone else. It can be so easy to concentrate on the weight thing rather than how we fit into our clothes. when somone tells ya they weigh a lot less it can be like....dagnammit.....and you feel like you've got so much further to go! My sis is heavier than me and is more apple shaped....but i totally wish i had her legs!!

    You're aiming for the same as me. I am 7lbs heavier than you. I might call on you for motivation if I get stuck! :smile:
