Dress size depression
A week or so ago I set myself a target. I said that by October I wanted to fit into a size 14 (at least) dress and look good. I chose october because My BF has a big dance then and I want to do him proud. We are also starting dance classes together so that we will look amazing. I git to wondering though, at about what weight would I get to size 14?
Now, I'm 5'10 and weigh just over 16stone. I'm wearing a size 20 jeans but size 18 other trousers and size 16 dresses generally. I put a post on weight loss resource asking at what weight did 5'10 people fit into a size 14. The replies pretty much all indicated it was around the 11stone mark. There is no way that is going to happen before October and I had really hoped that at 11stone I would be smaller than a 14. My target weight is 12 stone!!!
It all suddenly seems impossible. Not that I'm giving up, but its knocked me

Dont worry!
Height and body frame have a TON to do with what you weigh at what size and what it looks like on you. I dont know the exact number of pounds in a stone but Im a size 12 in pants and sometimes a 10 in a dress (after a good chunk of weight loss) and I weigh 165 pounds. Just this weekend I was talking with a girl also trying to lose weight and she weighs 10 pounds less than me (same height) but is a size 12 sometimes 14. I was a 14 at 190 pounds. Its different for everyone. I would think that if you can generally wear a 16 dress now then you would most definately be able to get into a 14 dress by October. Good Luck!

everyone is different
It really depends on your build hun, you exercise quite a lot, so chances are you will be more toned and be generally smaller than people who don't exercise.
Keep at it, you will get into a size 14 no problem by october if you're a 16 now!
