Predicted Dress Size Please.......

[echokilo]

I have been counting calories and taking more exercise for about 2 months now and have lost plenty of weight .... I am now 13stone 2pounds ..... I am approximately a size 14 (sometimes a 16 if clothes are tight fitting) and I wondered what size do people think I will be when I get to my goal weight of 10 stone? I am 5ft 3" and I would say medium bone structure .... what do you think?

This is impossible to answer, echokilo, because people vary so much. I have a friend who's an inch taller than you, and weighs about the same as you do now, but she wears a size 18. Another one's almost 6ft. and weighs 12 stone. She wears a size 12-14, depending on the material and cut of her clothes. On the other hand, another friend, who's 5ft. 2ins. is a size 6, and weighs less than 7 st. - so now you can see the diversity. Good luck with the weight loss, but I think you'd better get to your ideal weight first, and then see what sizes you'd need to take.

Are you thinking of buying clothes to slim into? or are you just curious?

Don't think you can really tell as Ice.Maiden says.

Sounds as though you are doing well. Keep going.

Thanks both of you - was just curious really, it's not important, just wanted to picture how I might look by comparing the change in clothes size as this is what motivates me ..... but thanks for your encouraging comments .... it's been so long since I was 10 stone that I can't remember what size I wore!!!

Hi - first of all well done! I had a similar amount to lose after having my son and managed to get down to 9st 7 - am 5ft 2.5 an pear shaped, so I guess we would be fairly similar builds. I'm a size 10 on top and 10-12 on bottom. I must admit maintaining the weight is now the real struggle!! Hope this helps x
