Is there anyone on here not looking to be a size 2?

Hi there
Being in the UK I'm not sure what size 2 is, but my goals are fairly moderate as well. I know I wouldn't ever suit really skinny and actually don't like the idea that skinny is good. I just want to be more beautifully curvy instead of fat!!!0 -

I'm in the UK so your dress sizes don't mean anything to me but I'm heading for chunky rather than fat but have no wish to be thin.
Just add 4 onto the sizes to get the UK size:
US 2 = UK 6
US 4 = UK 8
etc, etc.
I think America also has odd-numbered sizes, but I've never been able to work out what they mean for the life of me.
The odd numbered sizes are juniors (teenager) sizes.
0,1,3,5,7,9 = clothes cut more for teenagers. Low rise, not a lot of extra room in the hips, thighs or butts. Similar to how most people view a teenage girl as being.
2,4,6,8,10 (up to size 16 or 18) = misses clothes. These are what most women wear. Most of them are cut a little wider through the hips, thighs, butts to accommodate the curves that adult women tend to have.
16 (some brands is 18), 20, 22, 24, etc = These are plus size clothes.0 -

Thank you so much! That was seriously bugging me for such a long time haha.0 -
I just want to be a Sexy Be-Atch! Owooooo!!!
Haha, me too. I had to promise to my partner, that I won't be very slim. More toned body, rounder *kitten*, and flatter abs are ok, so I wanna stay curvy.:)
But for me it's also important to get fit, have more endurance, energy and power.0 -
I'm 5'5 and my goal weight is 150, which is the higher end of the healthy weight range for my height. I don't want to be skin and bones though, I am fairly curvy.0
-
I'm 5ft4 and looking to be 126. This still would not be that thin for me as I do not hold weight well. I think at this weight I would be a UK size 10, Possibly an 8/10. Everyone here has different goals, some to lose weight, some to gain weight. We can all support each other no matter what

I'm 5'4 and currently weigh 138lbs, I started at 168lbs. I'm a UK size 10-12 now, (US size 6-8) and just getting down to a 10 will suit me fine. Not aiming for a size 6 (which would be a US size 2....no thank you!).
I have around 12lbs left to goal but if I lose another 5lbs and decide I'm happy I'll stop there and start maintaining. I lose so slowly anyway.0 -
My starting weight was 328 lbs. I'm 5'3 and was size 28 (UK). Honestly I'll be thrilled if I can get to a size 12/14 UK. My goal weight is 140. I don't want to be mega skinny, just healthy, toned and curvy (not fat)0
-
i'm working on getting down to 180, from there to 150. if i lose too much I start to look like i'm sickly and not healthy.0
-
I just want to be a healthier weight! I'm not looking at being skinny or tin y I just want a little less baggage!! 0
-
I'm 5'9" so at a US 2 I'd look pretty damn awful to be fair. I'm aiming for US 8, 6 at the lowest.0
-
I am 5'3" and my goal is 140lbs, most others here who are my height are looking to get to 120 or under. No thanks, that's not for me at all. I have no idea what size I will be when I get to 140, I hope around an 8/10.
I am the same - 5ft2" and aiming at about 140 which is a uk 10/12 (ish) and i am going to be fine with that - its not about being a magic weight on the scales its about being comfortable with my size and being fit and healthy.0 -
...meaning i'm 5'5 and my goal weight is along the lines on 175, maybe 170, I see a lot of people on here who are my height and they are starting from 170 and trying to go down to 140-130. I'm not looking to be slim, just a more toned flatter stomach version of me? I always feel like the outsider on here, I feel like I have totally different goals. But I know its great to be different :happy: .
I guess I'm just curious as to who else on MFP has a remain curvy goal? my worst fear is losing too much weight in an area I would not want to lose weight from -_-
I'm 5'4'' or so and my goal is about 130. For me, I would not be a size 2 at 130 lbs. I'm not looking to be slim either. I still want my muscles and I want to be curvy, a size 6/8 probably. We have similar body image goals, almost the same height, but different goal weights because we must be built much differently. I'm starting at your goal weight, but I am definately not looking to be a size 2 and skinny!
My point is, everyone is built differently. You may be hot and curvy at 175, but I am NOT! haha 0 -
well im 5 8" and do NOT wanna be skinny but DO wanna be curvy id love to get to a size 10/12 UK anything lower at my height would look too skinny in my oppinion!! my fiance prefers curvy too

I was a size 4 in US just 3 years ago. I'd be happy at a 6 now0

I'm a size 2 at 132lbs and far from skinny. If you have muscle on you, it isn't hard to get to a small size. I'm also just an inch shorter than you.0 -
I'm 5'4" 126lbs, I'm 6 on the bottom and 4 on top. I think its appropriate, I was a size 10 at 140lbs so its difficult for me to believe some of these stated heights and sizes here. I dont want to be any smaller but now that I'm at this size, I'd like to stay here.0

It depends on what you want to achieve. I'm 5'6 and have a goal weight of 135-140 and that wouldn't make me that slim really! I have been that weight before and was fit and curvy. At 175 I wasn't happy at all with my weight and my bmi was in the overweight category. Go with what you feel comfortable:)0 -
To be honest if i went down to a size 2 i'd be dead. My height 5'11" and quite a broad frame would look so daft! lol. I'm aiming to get down to 160lbs (currently 258lbs) and would be happy at a size 14 (currently 20/22). I used to be 272lbs and a size 26 so i'm happy that i'm 20/22 now lol but I know i'd be even happier at a UK size 14 :happy:0

Haha, as you can see from my weight loss ticker (maybe) I was looking to be 125 pounds (I'm 5'4"). I've reached 145, and just about 15 minutes ago I saw myself on video... and I looked PRETTY DARN SKINNY (at least to myself). I'm not starting to think that 125 might make me look sick. :-(0

Umm, me I guess? I think my size in US numbers is 8/10 and I'm very pleased with that. However I am 5'9'' and weigh 138lbs, and it seems to me that a lot of ladies on here who are my weight, but shorter, fit into that size too. How does that work?
I used to weigh about 123 lbs a year ago, was much smaller, but no way would I like to go back to that. I looked like a deflated bag! Bones jutting out everywhere, no bum, hardly any boobs... After that, I gained over 25lbs due to stress, but now I've gotten back down to a happy medium and don't intend to go any lower!

What is a size 2 in the UK? I am 5'6" and aiming for 150 which is within the range for my height (114 -154). I am currently 170 down from 205. I know from experience that 146 is about as light as I can be without looking scrawny. I will retain curves but be slim at 150. That puts me at a size 14 top and size 10/12 bottoms - UK sizes. Given I was at 22 top and 18 bottoms when I started I am already pleased. Currently 16 and 12! This probably makes no sense but if anyone can convert to US I would be interested!0

I am 5' 8". I was a size 2 a few years ago, before health problems caused me to stop moving and gain weight. I was much too thin then, not by choice, by genetics. My sisters are all still very slender. I feel best at around size 6. I might like 8 better, not sure till I get back down there.0

Yeah me. I'm looking to trim away my excess tummy flab & be a size 0 0

Draenei bumms are too big for a Size 0. Besides, where will you fit your tail?0

Looks like a Size 2 US is a Size 4 UK and so on. You can check it out at http://www.onlineconversion.com/clothing_womens.htm. They have a pretty cool Size converter.
According to that, you started at 20 top and 16 bottoms, US. And you are now 14 and 10, US.0 -

I've never ever been less than a UK size 14 and I just wouldn't be me if I was a (UK) size 8 or even 10. My ideal size would be a UK 12, but if I couldn't get below a 14 I would be okay with that.0
-
Me! I would like to be about 145, size 6 or so.
I'm not gonna lie, I kind of want to be your friend simply because of your dog. I had an English Bulldog, Abigail, she lives with her dad since we got divorced. I love her soooo much 0
