Any ladies 5'7"ish go from 18/20 to 10/12 (UK Sizing)?

BUMP! im 5'9 and a size 18/20 atm im aiming to get down to a 12 and would also love to know how people are doing this. my start weight was 114kg and im now down to 107.7kg xx

I am 5''8 and in the past ( about 10 years ago) when I was a 10/12 I weighed around 10 stone. I suppose it depends on shape though.

I think sizing has changed now aswell.

I am 5ft 7 and 160lbs and a size 12. I am toned :-)

I think sizing has definately changed, I was a 10 last year and can almost fit back into my skinny jeans from last year. Bought a pair the other week and I'm no way near being able to do them up, they're more like an 8!

The best piece of advice I've been given in recent months is to not look at the labels in clothes. I know I'm a 12, but some shops I need to get a 14 and some I can get a 10. It's crazy.

I'm 5ft6" and was struggling to get into size 12 trousers at 158lbs, but fitting somewhat better at 149lbs. I can sometimes get size 10 tops, but usually because of my boobs I need a 12 or a 14.

You're definately more toned than I am, from the same county too. I'm in Flitwick!

I too am in Flitwick!!!! ]

I'm 5'8-5'9 ish and I fit into a 10/12 at 160 and a comfortable 10 around 150. My body is semi toned but my weight is evenly distributed (very hourglass looking) so I think it's more of knowing where your body keeps your weight because you can weight 140 but still be a 12 if you're more of a pear shape.

Hi im 5" 6 and currently weight 138lbs and am between a 10/12 most of my clothes are a 12, but that because of my hugh thighs. I can wear 10 tops though. But definately depends on what shop im in.

5'7-and3/4s, UK 18, aiming for a small 14 (huge ribcage, so smaller is unlikely, though I'd LOVE to be a 12). Starting weight 111kg, now 98.4kg, and stalled it seems (grrr.), but aiming for around 25-35kg total loss. If you'd like to be friends, given that we have similar goals and stats, feel free to add me.

I'm 5'9", 60.5kg and an 8-10 I think. I think I was an easy 12 at 67ish kg?

Hi, I'm just over 5'7" and currently 161lbs, down from 170lbs over quite a few months. At my largest I was a UK14 on top and a UK16-18 on the botton. I'm a pear shape, so currently about UK12 on top and 14 on the bottom. My goal is 136lbs which is lower than I was as a teenager and back then I weighed about 145-150lbs and a size 10 on top and 12 on the bottom. If you don't have big hips/thighs like me you can probably get to a 10-12 without losing so much weight. I may even reconsider this goal myself when I get a bit closer and see how I look/feel. I'm not overly toned (except on my legs) but I do have a high cardio fitness level.

For reference perhaps my measurements would be more useful to you since clothing sizes are so variable:

Bust: 94cm (C cup)
Waist: 76cm
Hip (measured at the top of the hip bone): 93cm
Seat (like I said I'm a pear, so my widest part around my bum/upper thighs): 112cm
Thigh (at the widest point): 64cm

Hope this helps!

Oh, and to lose weight I basically make sure I don't overeat (or undereat - see the recent thread 'An easier way to setup goal calories') and take regular exercise. No gimmicks or special 'diet' foods, just healthy living.

I started in a 16/18 and I had to lose about 20kgs to get into a size 10!

Hi I'm 5'8 and currently around 60kg (133lb) and UK 8-10 depending on cut/brand

At uni about 10 years ago I was a uk 18ish and at least 80kg - probably more but I never weighed myself back then,

Had various problems (depression ED etc) and dropped a lot of weight - way to much and hit 47kg
THen went back up to 80kg about 4 years ago. I go that down to 70kg a year ago with a bit of effort

Since then I've leant some better attitudes to training and eating and come back down to 60kg and UK size 8 - though often a 10 for tops - sadly only because i haev a broad back and nothing to do with bra size sadly which is one thing I am not endowed with!

The main problem I have found is that when shops make things narrower, they also get shorter - been trying to find a longsleeve top for running in now its freezing out - most of them in size dont reach my wrists and are way too short - the last thing I want in the cold is an inch gap between the top of my running tights and the bottom of my top when I'm, out in minus something!

HI i'm 5'6 and currently weigh around 165 pounds, i started out at 215 and was a size 18 uk. I can now fit into a Size 10 comfortably on top and a size 12 sometimes on trousers, it tends to depend on the style of trouser and the shop. I have quite large hips and at the moment am holding weight around my waist so am hoping if i can conquer that i will fit into a 12 comfortably from any shop.
