Just trying to establish rough target points. Was sitting at 10st6, on about 9st9 now so quite a bit still to go. Hoping to get to a size 8.
Thank you

It's going to depend a lot on muscle mass OP. When I weight trained I was a size 6 but the same weight as I'd normally be an 8

TheGrumpySquirrel good point there

I'm just shy of 5ft 6..
Mid 40's and hovering around 8 stone.

I'm an 8

When I was 7 stone (pre DC) a 6-8 fell off me!
I'm slightly built with narrow shoulders and hips.
(Wobbly pot belly though!)

At 5ft 5 and 10st 7lb I’m a size 10 in most shops, a size 12 in some for trousers.
At 10st I’m a solid size 10

I'm 5ft5 , 9 stone and size 8, my weight fluctuates up about half a stone with not much effect on my clothes size.

Does anyone have a link to that website where you type in height and weight and you see loads of pics of real women who are that height & weight? It’s really interesting for a sense of perspective on yourself. I’ve seen it linked here before but can’t remember the site.

I can't shop in places like Next or Marks and Spencer's, the clothes are huge on me. I shop at Whistles (smallest size) Allsaints - size 4. Unless I'm buying a dress in which case I buy a 6, because of my shoulders. Some shops like Toast, I have them taken in if I like the item enough. I also have a problem with shoes because my feet are very narrow. I weigh around 9 stones, it can vary up and down by as much as 4lb, my body fat is very low and I have an athletic build.

I'm 5 foot 5 and have fluctuated a bit in weight over the years. At size 6 I weighed just under 8 stone; size 8 I was max 8.5 stone, and size 10 max 9 stone. I'm always a size smaller on top than on bottom.
