i have come across a few who weigh 130 and want to get down to 94 or under 100, and their goal says, hip bones, leg bones, bones bones bones.

    While that doesn't sound attractive (to me at least) we shouldn't judge what others want. You can't change it anyway, so there's no reason to let it bug you :)

    yes there are a lot of girls with the same goals (and they all seem to be under 18 or not over 20) weeeeiiird...and then they don't want to be helped by someone who has more experience in the eating dept. thinking they know all because they starved themselves. I used to not eat back in high school so I also know what it was like

    Though I don't really approve of it as a goal (I've been a very low weight as an adult through no choice of my own, and looked frankly awful), I would rather they were on here, where they may pick up some sensible advice about diet and body image, than on a pro-ana board where that sort of thing would ne encouraged and supported.
