Hi Happe,

It is great your trousers are beginning to get loose, nice feeling.

I just adjusted those figures and well done on your weight loss to date.:)

How different we all are!
I'm 5ft 6
When I did CD last time I was amazed to find that at 12 stone I was size 12! On WW years ago it wasn't until I was 10st that I was size 12.
I think the main difference is that I exercise now and the all important gallons of water we drink on this bonkers diet must be fairly key!
Well done to all you on your great shrinkages!

You must never say you have a big bum especially not at your new weight!!!! You are a classic pear or a curvier lady. After all it is healthier to hold your weight below the waist and not round your middle as that is bad for your heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I trust what the medics say & this is now what I now preach. Here I was thinking for for the past 11 years what a lard as* I was !!!!
 
Trust me if you saw her you would not say she has a big bum - she looks fantastic. :)

I know this thread has kind of stopped now but Ive been wondering the same thing for ages. Ive lost nearly 2 stone and havent gone down a dress size but have noticed my clothes getting looser.
Also looking at the stats above its really strange. Im the same height and weighed the same as some of the people who were wearing size 24 but im size 16-18. Cant understand that.
Been waiting until i go down a dress size b4 i buy some new clothes. Cant wait. Im running round in rags.
 
The thread is still running for anyone who wants to add their stats to it.

Just very intersting to see the difference in sizes as we come down.

When I started CD I was just starting to have to buy sme size 20's. I am 5ft 9in, small frame and was tipping the scales at 15 1/2 stone.

Within a stone the 20's were too big. But I really had to lose 2 21/2 stone to be a comfortable standard size 16. So around 13 - 13 1/2 stone I was a sixteen.

I think sizing of clothes is very much an equation of height, build and weight.

hi, when i started cd on 15th feb i weighed 13st 13lb and was wearing size 16/18top they all have to strech as i have quite big boobs 38DD) and 16/18 bottoms, i have lost 12lbs which takes me down to 13st 1lb and am now in 16/18top and 14 bottoms. its very strange that i have lost a size on my bottoms already but im not complaining and i certainly dont want my boobs to shrink either ha ha ha. hopefully by the time i get down to my target 11st ill be in a size 10/12 that would make my day. look forward to seeing al responses x x x

Guess I'll always be bottom heavy whatever my weight!

Weightwatchers reckon 10lb is roughly equal to a clothes size but it worked out about a stone for me. I think to begin with though you need to lose a bit more before dropping a size, cos if we're honest with ourselves; at the beginning of our diets we're likely to be wearing clothes that are a bit too tight.

I think it's really morale boosting to measure yourself once a month, I think it's great to have a visual of your progress as sometimes numbers on the scales just don't mean as much or don't fall quick enough!

When our LLC measured us she also set the tape at our start stats to demonstrate how big we were compared to now. Quite shocking, but very motivational.
 
I'm 5ft 3. Started LL at 17st 2 and a size 24 top and size 22 bottom . Now at 14st 2 and a size 18 top and size 16 ( large 16!!) bottoms. Want to keep going until I'm a size 12 (12-14 on top as I'm top heavy!!) More important to me is my BMI as doc has refused fertility treatment until I'm a BMI of 28 or below ( gone from a BMI of 42.5 to 35.1 currently) :D
 
My feet have shrunk a size since I lost weight but so has my head :eek:. I have had to buy a new riding hat!!
I have gone down a dress size roughly for each stone lost. Depends on where I get clothes from as the sizing varies tremendously from shop to shop. There is a thread about it in the nutrition section.
