Is there anyone out there wanting to be a size zero (or a double zero, lol). If so, add me! I'm a size 4 (but sometimes a 2 which is terribly exciting!) But I'd love to be a zero :) If you have similar goals to me, let's be friends :flowerforyou: Lol.

    Sent friend request. I have always been a size 0 or 2. Right now, I am hovering between the two different sizes. I am switching up the eating and workout routine, so that I remain a size 0 and not have to keep two different sizes in the closet

    I go between 0-2 depending on the brand, trying to get rid of this "skinny fat" look!

    Firstly, obviously I'm not trying to get to size Zero, but I was curious when I saw this topic and wondered if those who are trying to attain size Zero could provide me any answers. I am always interested in learning new things and learning about people's journeys, motivations etc, but the size zero has always been (to me) one of those things that has been portrayed as going too far.

    Please do correct me, I don't want to diminish anyone's goals here, but really keen to understand more. What has been portrayed on TV etc doesn't show it in good light, so my response is primarily of concern, but concern with a lack of understanding and education.

    The only real thing I know is watching a documentary last year (although I think it was originally done in 2007) by Louise Redknapp (she used to be in Eternal if you don't know her) called The Truth About Size Zero and it was quite a shocking journey she went on.

    So I apologise if this is taken in a negative way, it more about concern than anything else, but I could be completely wrong as well (normally :smile: )

    Right here!

    I have a few size 0's in my closet, but I'm usually a 3.

    If only all clothing manufacturers would stick to the same sizing chart!!

    For mpev: My daughter in a size 0-2. It's genetics. If she were a size 4, she's probably feel big, and want go back down to a 2. When I was young/er I was a 2, but I don't want to go there anymore (sagging skin as you get older). 4 is my goal. Right now I'm a 6-8. I don't post that usually because I know even that seems fine for a lot of people. We are a short and small family. Don't know about the rest of the posters.

    I saw this documentary!! I found it fascinating...but obviously I don't think she went about the right way to fit into a size 0. It is possible, as long as you're trying to do it the healthy way, and not race to the finish line for the cameras.

    Also, bone structure is a major factor. Obviously if you have larger hip bones, it's going to be harder to fit into a smaller pant size.

    I'm 5' and very small boned, so I am between a size 0-3 depending on jean cut ect. To me, it's not about fitting into a size 0, it's about finding a pair of jeans that will look good on me.

    It is possible for women to wear a size 0 and look and be healthy. I have curves, really I do.......but I'm just tiny.

    there are only a few lucky individuals that are able to shrink this small... A size zero is not an attainable size for every woman in the world, without becoming anorexic... you have to have a very very small skeleton, without much fat to be able to fit in a size zero.

    the majority of women wont ever be a size zero.. like me. the smallest I will ever be is a size 4 and I have to work really hard to stay there. but for some women it is just like any other size.. as long as they are small,

    Thank you ladies.

    I appreciate the time taken to highlight a couple of things to me. Coming from the UK and Australia, obviously the sizing system is different and the size zero has traditionally been portrayed quite negatively in the media, so it's nice to read some comments that do explain that is also a natural sizing.
    I was originally under the impression that it was brought in due to vanity sizing (again, probably another media thing), but for you taking the time to educate a bloke, i do appreciate it.
    Certainly helps me to understand a bit more as well.

    Thank you very much again..
