I started at a 6 and am currently at a 4. If I tried to attempt 0-3, my family and friends would stage an intervention. Some people think all girls should look like 0-2 and some people think 3-5 are completely normal. Many would think 8 & 9 look too manly. It's so interesting to hear different perspectives on this.

I started at a 1 and I'm currently at a 3 or 4...

Are you happy with your current size? Or are you trying to get back to a 1?

I actually wanted to get to a 3 or 4 from a 1. I love the way that I look now, but I would like to be a mix of a 4 and 8...Im pretty toned now, but want a thicker look.

It may also be regional (or community) specific. Here, it is very rare to see anyone of any race (it's relatively diverse) that is overweight much less obese. If they are, they apparently don't leave the house. The neighborhoods are also designed to encourage walking, running, biking and hiking. Yoga pants, running shoes and SUVs. Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Trader Joe's within a mile of each other. Part of the reason I decided to get fit again was I felt I stuck out like a sore thumb compared to everyone I saw around me.

It wasn't anything that was said to me, but I am not blind.

You sound like you live where I do. I'm by no means large (muscular 140 lbs size 2/4), but I'm bigger than a lot of women walking around town in their lululemons.

For my height, I was what some might call "zaftig" But, here, in comparison, in my mind, I just looked lazy.

Da wusste ich ja gar nicht, dass Du Deutsch sprichts! Zaftig is doch geil, oder? :-)
