    Starting to count calories will be interesting. I've never done that before so hoping it works! I love that this site is free :)

    Im exactly the same, never counted cals before and it's hard! Got just over 300 left for rest of the day and that includes my gained back from exercise :-(

    I think it's definitely going to be an eye opener for me. X

    I'm American, but my goal was also a UK size 10 (US size 6) :)

    Me, too!

    I used to be a size 10 a couple of years ago and then started eating too much crap and not exercising enough... and realised I was a big size 12/small size 14, which at 5ft3 looks way too much on me!

    I'd like to be more around the size 8/10 boundary than where I am currently. About 10 more pounds to lose...

    I can now just get into my size 10 skinny jeans but I wear size 12 dresses.

    Based in Surrey. I'd love to be a size 10, but somehow don't believe it could ever happen. I'm 6ft tall and big boned/broad. I'm aiming for size 12, currently size 14.

    Good luck with your size 10 mission!

    Hello I am also based in the UK and have been struggling with my weight since I moved in to my 1st house with my Fiance last year... So I would love to join in!! I'm getting married next September so I would LOVE to be a size 10 for then :-)

    I currently weigh 176lbs and would love to get to 140lbs for my wedding so bring it on :-)

    Yes, I'm in!

    I'm a 12/14 at the moment and a 10 is what I'm aiming for - roughly want to lose about 2 stone.

    I am based in UK. Currently a size 14/16. Could only dream of being a 10, think 12 is more realistic and I'd be happy with that.

    Wishing you luck in your mission!

    Yup I'm totally up for it too!! :D

    Fed up being an awkward size 12... would like to fit into my old wardrobe now! Need to save money for my holiday, and this is not going to happen if I keep buying new clothes! Lol :)

    We all need serious support... feel free to add me :) xXx

    Hi - Another girl from Essex here - desperate to get out of the 12/14s and back into 10s after moving in with the other half and getting "comfortable" (also called putting on the best part of a stone and a half!). Count me in too. I've only just started really using the site again and I didn't realise how much I ate!

    I'm in!! When I first started on my journey 5 years ago I was a size 20 / 22 (UK) and my goal was to get to 14. When I got to a size 14 I thought if I get to a 12 I'd be happy but now that I am a size 12 I still have some fat that I need / want to lose - so size 10, here I come!!! Only problem is, those last few pounds are proving a nightmare to lose, lol!!!! :laugh:

    I am in London by the way :smile:

    Forgot to the say, my weightloss showing on here is only what I've lost since joining MFP over a year ago - I have lost around 80 pounds in the last 5 years.

    Do you go to a gym?

    Nope I usually just run ( marathons and half marathons). I used to be a member of one but ended up cancelling as I'm a nurse and work such a mad shift pattern that I could never get to classes. I might start going again though. I'm terrible as I never strength train.

    Fair enough, just wondered as I live in Guildford too, so was wondering if by coincidence you just happened to go to the same gym, but obviously not!

    Well I would, but I've never been able to get into a size 10 dress, and I just think it would be impossible for me!

    I dont think it would be impossible for you! Think of it as a CHALLENGE, you can do it if you really try!! :)

    Well maybe if it's made from lycra...

    but even then I think 98kg of me is an awful lot to get into a size 10 - I can't imagine it would leave much to the imagination! :noway:

    I dunno, I think that would hurt a lot of peoples eyes.

    Remember it's not possible to unsee what has been seen!
