Anyone gone from a UK size 14/16 down to a size 10?

*bump* I'm in the same boat as you!
I've lost 20lbs since starting and was a UK 16. I'm only a UK 14 now, I'd love to be a 10 too!

I went from a size 14/16 (depending on the store) to a 10 in 2,5 months. I'm 5'8 (1.77 m). Started out at 78 kg and I am around 69 kg now. My motivation came when I was trying on clothes from a few years back. Every 1-2 weeks I would try them on again and I could see that my muffin top was shrinking. Good luck! You can do it just take your time.

I'm bigger than you girls but am the same height with the same end goal, so would like to know the answer too!

I think it really depends on your shape. I'm pear shaped, 5 ft 3.5 and I went from 147 lbs (size 12 on tops, 14 on bottoms) and I am now 133 lbs and a size 10 on tops and size 12 on bottoms.

I'm 5ft 2 and weigh 151 and a UK size 12/14 I'd love to be a 10 got to drop to around 9/9 stone 7 I've had 3 children and I'm 37 x

I was a size 14 after christmas and by may this year i was a size 10. i'm 5'4 and i'd say it took me about 4 months of strict eating and exercising 2-3 times a week in the gym. I noticed the results really quickly though and i lost half a stone in the first two weeks so that definately kept me motivated The more you lose the more excited you get to keep going.... in total i lost about 3 stone to become a 10. Good luck, you can definately do it!

I have gone from a uk16 to a uk10 and have lost 40lbs. I eat low carb so i dont get the normal bloat which means i can fit into clothes with ease. I have found that no matter how much weight you lose you still need to tone up for your clothes to look better on you. It took me a long time to get out of the size 12's (about 6months plateau) then i got a whoosh on the scales and voila, size 10's.

I started at UK size 14/16 and I'm now a size 8/10.

Height 5'6

Start weight 175 lbs - current weight 128 lbs

Has taken about 9/10 months

My motivation was a 3 holidays I had booked this year.. and i wanted to look good in a bikini!

I also wanted to run a half marathon which I achieved in september..

Feel free to add me and look at my photos I'm useless and don't know how to post them on here lol

I'm a 16 and want to be about a 10 - any pics of anyone who has done this would be a great motivatior!!

It does seem to depend a lot on your physical structure. I'm just under 5'8" with a very large frame, and I gain muscle easily - handy for my job, but not for buying clothes. A few years ago, I lost around 40 pounds, and my dress size really didn't change much at all. The way clothes looked, yes, but not the actual size. I remained pretty solidly (no pun intended!) a UK 18, sometimes 16. I'd really love to get to a small UK 14, as I could then buy the clothes I like from many of the higher-end high-street shops that stop at a 14 or occasionally a small 16, but the fact remains that with my frame, that may not be possible for me, even if I were to lose 60 pounds this time around. The point is, the number on your clothes, while it may be a motivating factor for some, can't be a motivating factor for all. In fact, for me, it has rather the opposite effect - months of hard work, and still the same size/shopping problems!

This is mostly directed at chugglebunny, rather than those of you for whom size-change works well (lucky girls!) - find something else to focus on, or you may become demotivated as I did (I put those 40 pounds back on, with a few extra, fairly quickly once I realised nothing had really changed). How your clothes fit, what the scales say, how many inches you've lost, how you feel about yourself - anything but the number on the tag inside your clothes!

I'm a UK 16 started at 216lbs. I'm 5'3. But I don't seem to drop dress sizes very easily. I think it will depend on your shape too. I am down a stone since joining (now 202lbs) but I'm still a 16

Jillian micheals 30 day shred its hardcore but it pulls all your body in and although you don't lose much weight you lose inches hth.
