I'm currently at 236lbs and a size 22 (I think. I haven't worn much other than maternity pants for a while)
We're having our wedding ceremony this upcoming December and I'd like to be at a size 10 at most by then

So can you tell me? What was your starting weight and dress size, compared to your new weight and dress size and how long it took?

    Well, I'm just starting back this time (gained back after babies). But it 2002 when I lost 30lbs I went from 173 and size 12-14 to 140 and size 6. That took March to October.

    In Jan 2011 I was 230 lbs and a size 22.

    In Dec 2011 I was/am 175 lbs and a size 12 dress.

    I joined a 4 mos biggest loser contest in March that kicked me in the butt to actually start. I lost about 35 lbs by July, didn't win but was motivated to lose more. Lost the last 20 lbs by Dec and still have about 20 more to lose to reach my goal. I joined a gym in April and try to go 3x for a weight training/cardio mix plus I've been doing Zumba 1x per week. And I have faithfully logged into MFP everyday since I joined in March 2011. I believe I just passed my 310 day mark. :smile:

    For reference, I'm 42 years old and 5'7".

    Good luck on your journey!

    I am almost 5'10", after 2 babies.... 209lbs and size 18. In the past:
    185= size 16
    175= size 14
    155-160= size 12
    140= size 10

    I found my wedding dress size to be smaller than my regular size. I was 155 ish when I got married and my dress was a size 10. I had a ballgown type.... corset top with poofy bottom. That probably made a difference.

    5'4 and 3/4
    Pants size
    200- 16
    185- 14
    170- 12


    My fantasy would be size 8. My goal is a size 10 by early summer. I have been on the program for about four months.

    FYI...keep in mind that some bridal dresses run about a size or two small.

    I am 5'2". I started last March at 211 lbs and size 22/24W and 2XL clothes size. To date I have lost 48 lbs with another 40 to go; so about 9 months so far. I have worn each size of my clothes for as long as I could because I did not want to buy all new wardrobes for each smaller size. Right now I am at a normal size 14 with hopes of being a solid 8 or 10 when I am done.

    In August I was hitting a size 14, now in a comfortable size 10. I also had to return a Victoria Secret leather jacket (Xmas gift) that was a size large, for a size medium. Also maybe TMI but got a new bra size 36C (previously 38D) and it fits pretty well...:tongue:
