how long would it take from being a size 16 to getting down to size 4?

That really depends on a lot of things. For example the first thing would be just how dedicated you were at losing weight/working out to achieve your goal of being a size 4.
Also, if you have a slower metabolism you will have to do different things and it may take a longer time to get to where you want.
Don’t ever set a big goal like that though for a short amount of time.
You should start with getting down one or two sizes to begin with.
It will make you much happier and help you to get to your final goal by letting you have the faith in yourself to know you can do it.
Let me know how it goes though! 

Traditional Italian cuisine has little to do with the huge portions of pizza or pasta, with plenty of meat and liberally seasoned with cheese, which are so popular in Italian restaurants around the world. In Italy itself people prefer to use more vegetables and legumes for their dishes, and pasta which is always made of durum wheat!  It is being used in very small quantities and not as a main dish. In addition, as it is known, Italians love olive oil, which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and promotes healthy heart. The main methods of cooking are usually grilling, cooking, baking or steaming.The degree of obesity of the nation: 13%Life expectancy: 80 years
