I'm currently 162lbs, 5 foot 6, measurements 39-30.5-39 (was 180lbs, still 5 foot 6 lol, 40-33-40).

I would LOVE to be a size 10-12 (eventually a size 10, but , and according to http://www.dresssizechart.co.uk/dress-size-guide.aspx I will need to be about 36-27-36 to be in this sort of range, which is 3 inches off of each area. I am a bridesmaid on 30th August (7 1/2 weeks from today) and I would love to have achieved this goal by then but I was wondering if anyone had any idea whether this is possible or not?

I know you can't decide or predict where fat comes off of, but I'm talking generally x thank you in advance

    What size are you wearing now? In 7 weeks, you can expect to lose around 7 lbs, although it could be slightly more or slightly less, depending on what you are doing.

    For me, 5-7 lbs is an inch at my waist. Based on that it would be 15-21 lbs..... given it has taken me since November to lose 20 lbs losing that much in two months would not be possible for me.

    I think it is possible for some people but not many people at this weight.

    So you only need to drop one to two sizes? I think that's doable in seven weeks. I've dropped two sizes in some brands, one in others, in the past seven weeks, and my stats are somewhat similar to yours. (I'm 5'6", started at 146 lbs on May 24, currently at around 136 lbs, at least according to this morning's scale reading.)
