Do not be depressed! You are about the same sizes as me and not that much different in weight. I'm 4" taller so it's me who should be depressed as people on here, who are same height/weight as me, are at least a size smaller.
Stick with it!
The tough time is often when you start your journey - you lose weight but not much happens in terms of size. It was certainly like that for me - it took 2 stone to lose a size and another 1.5 stone to lose another one.
Lots of people say it's about a size per stone lost but that deosn't work for me as you can see. 3.5 stone gone and only 2 sizes! And sizes vary too - remember that. Some may be quoting a US size or one from a shop that sells LARGER ones. I like to work on the "old Fashioned sizes of my youth . . . LOL.
When I was a size 14 in the 1970's, a size 14 was 36" bust, 26" waist and 38" hips. Nowadays, it seems the average size 14 has "grown" by at least 2" to 38" bust, 30" waist and 40-41" hips.
There's actually a very interesting blog here about "vanity sizing" - which is what this is all about!

Working on it
So I'm 5ft 1, 16.5 stone and am currently wearing a size 18/20 on top and a size 20 on the bottom.
My top hasn't really changed that much, I've lost 3 stone and have got a stretchy primark size 16 top that I can get on but is too tight to wear properly still. I was wearing a 20 on top, I now wear 20's for the baggy look in some things.
My bottom half has dropped in size, I was a 22 in jeans (just) and a 24 in formal trousers, I lived in size 20 leggings and jeggings. I am now comfortably in a size 20 trousers and jeans but they are my old ones so not sure how much they've stretched.
The next big things for me is to get my top into a size 16 and my butt into a size 18. It will have been about 6/7 years since I've been either.

HAha! You're lucky. I'm 5"2.5, 8 stoen 9 pounds and have 34E boobs! I sometimes need to go up to a size 14 in tops just to get the buttons down, but then the top is all saggy at my waist by a good 6 inches!

Im 5 ft 6 and 146 and I have just this wk got into my first size 12's! eek so happy!
It depends on your body type tho, if u are pear shaped or apple shaped. Im apple so I tend to carry more round the middle so I tend to be higher in the sizes than others with the same size/weight as me

It's far from disgusting! A size 20 isn't even that big, plenty of people are size 20-22.
