yeah, its always different, cuz it depends were you carry your weight, plus if youre tall or not! Like im tallish, 5'9" and i weight 170, but i can wear a size 12 in some jeans.

yessum, sizes in america run from size 0-14 about i think (there are also plus sizes), we dont measure in centimeters. so dont worry, lol. good luck on your weight loss... youll definitely get the car!

damn... wish i had a car waiting for me at the end of my weight loss... haha, great motivation! Anyway, to do this, you would be best served by stopping all junk food. I dont mean like choclate, i mean chips and the candy that may taste good for like the 3 seconds it tastes to eat, but it isnt healthy and doesnt fill you up at all. Besides that, start doing some exercise! Walk everywhere, or do crunches or whatever works for you! good luck!!!

wow! what motivation! yes, and giving up chocolate and french fries will help you lose weight if you eat it daily already. also try to add more fruits and veggies into your diet and eat less processed and simple sugary stuff...

yes and no, its really hard to stick to a resolve to lose weight if u deprive your self of all of your fave stuff (who doesnt love chocolate? lol) What i do when i crave something, is i get it out take a fourth of it, wrap up the rest, then enjoy the little bit i have. be sure to make a big deal of putting the extra away (wrapping it pack up, taking it away from the table and putting it a up) before you enjoy your share. It takes your mind off from eating it and helps you enjoy it. Its cool that your determined to be a size 10, but start small, so u dont get discouraged when your results arent instant. I know that sound like the kind of advice you get from old people, but it's true, and it took me a long time to understand that. (I started dieting when i was 11, im 16 now and i just finally got this and lost weight and made a diet work this year!) Maybe your goal should be small, like reward yourself with non food stuff when ever you lose ten pounds or reach a fitness goal (fitness is key if yer gonna keep it off for good) good luck, im pullin for ya
