how much weight lost to be a size 10, 12?


Question Posted Sunday July 31 2011, 9:35 pm

I'm a female.

I'm currently 230lbs, size 18/20, measurements around 50-41-51, I'm 5ft8in.

Yes, I realize whatever the number it's a God's awful plenty, and that as I lose weight I may decide I look better bigger or smaller than a 10/12, but that's just a rough idea of the girls I admire and their shapes. They tend to fall into the size 12 category, like...

Yes, I also realize I won't look like them. Like I said, I'm just trying to get a nice rough idea of how long the journey ahead of me is. :)

Okay, well, I might get an IP ban, yay. I just realized that "Dork, you aren't supposed to use links if you're anonymous!"

I don't know if that's for question askers or answerers or what, but either way, hooray for honest mistakes! *part popper* Sorry.

Here's the thing: it all depends on what your build is like.

At 240, I'm a size 18, 5'8", measurements 47 - 35 - 49. I'm a fairly curvy gal. When I last lost weight, it took me until 170 to hit a size 12 skirt. I never got out of size 14 pants.

Do you have a lot of muscle? Do you tend to carry your weight evenly or to pile it on in weird places?

You've got the right attitude. Keep it sustainable and aim for healthy and happy. Make sure to exercise at least a little: toning your body will help you to carry the weight you do have much more gracefully.

Thats really good :) well I got to say sorry im not good with those things, all I know though is that the best is going to a trainer or online bmi's can help you figured that out , im not good with numbers. BUT! What can help you get that look is like I told others , you can buy it as a game or you can go to your local gym and go for zumba! it is so much fun , its dancing and cardio , you'd love it , if you put effort in you can loose up to 1,000 calories one class! you should check out the testimonies , its a good work out trust me! Go like that everyday and you will have a great time :)

Good luck
