Hips are problematic.
So true. When I was at my smallest I was about 100 lbs at 5'4".
My ribs showed and my pelvis was so prominent that I couldn't wear slim skirts but my breeder hips were never less than 35 1/2 inches. No way I have ever worn pants that were less than a 6.
That being said I had the fastest most pain and drug free deliveries a woman could ask for.:happy:0 -
I am close to a 0-2 size and am by far surpassing 300 calories. It depends on your build too, I dont think this would be possible to achieve by all. If you have wider build, hips etc. Some peple are just built tiny. I am 5"9 and 135 pnds. I have been following a very high protein diet and constant exercise routine to get to a lower body fat, eating 1500-2000 calories. I have been up to a 6-8 when I did not have as good eating habits.0

Bone structure. At my lightest I was a uk size 8 and looked very unwell, I think, for me, it would be impossible to get to a size zero - my skeleton is probably about a 6

<---- eats 1500-1700 calories and is a size 0, even 00 every so often.
People are made in different sizes. It happens.0 -
I easily fit into a vanity size 0 (Express, Ann Taylor, White House Black Market, Banana Republic, etc). All of my dress pants for work are size 00, 0 and 2 (2's are a little big). There are some stores when a 0 is too big sometimes (Old Navy).
I am not a true size 0 though. I'm probably more like a 4-6. I have a 24.5" waist and 35" hips. I'm 5'0 (well...almost), and 113lbs.
My hips are narrow (as in the bones) but I have quite a round behind. I'm around a UK size 4-6 (but not sure which UK brands vanity size).
Oh..and yes I need to lose weight....and I do not have an eating disorder. I just tend to hold fat more in my upper body (chest, back, arms, face) than I do my lower body (hips, behind, lower belly, thighs).
I've always been a small pants size, even when I was slightly heavier.0 -
I was a size 14. Now I'm a size 1.
I didn't have surgery. I don't eat like a bird. I eat 1600 calories a day, lift heavy weights, and do cardio occasionally.
Jealous? Or just douchey? Maybe a little bit of both?0 -
Yeah, certain stores size 0 are huge on me, vanity sized. I'm only 5'2 and 100 pounds yet I struggle to eat under 2000 calories daily. Not active at all.
Some of us are just small.

I'm gonna vote that that isn't possible unless they become anorexic.. which is heartbreaking.Im not talking about people who are naturally a size 0 or naturally that way im taking about overweight people getting to a size 0 how do they really do that,?
Not anorexic, I've been the same size all my life.

and still skinny -

Frame size plays a huge role. it is absolutely not true that just anyone can do it if they want it enough and work hard enough.
Puberty put me at a size 14, at a perfect weight for my height (I remember being 145 at 5'9". I grew another inch and put on a bit more weight but was a 14 through college. My mom was 5'9" and got down to 115 from thyroid disorders, and ever got below a size 13.0 -

No. People who used to be big and are now size zeros are just size Zeros who used to be big.
I will never be a size zero- why? Because my hip bones and rib cage are too big for a size zero. Even at an unhealthily low BF, I would STILL not be a size zero.
Alternatively, a woman with different bone structure than I could be a size zero with a healthy bf%.
People are DiFFERENT.0 -
In the same way that some people are tall and some are short and some go bald and some have brown skin and some have white skin....

This probably has nothing to do with this topic but the other day I was shopping for jeans and my husband was with me. I went to try a few on and had to send him back to get the next smaller size. Anyway he comes racing back and says you're not going to believe this, come look. I couldn't imagine. Walk over to the clothes rack and he points to the thingy that divides the sizes and says,"Who the h$ll wears a size zero! " You can tell he doesn't get out much but he was really upset with it. Kept muttering under his breath, "Them people need to eat a cookie or two." Anyway I thought it might give some of you a giggle.
It has been brought to my attention that this post is insulting to petite people and I want ya'll to know that in no way was I insinuating that people have to starve themselves to get to this size. I was trying to poke fun at my husband's ignorance of women clothing sizing. To any and all who have been offended my humblest apologies and regards. I will pay closer attention in the future on how I word things.0 -
I was a size 16. I can now fit in a 0. But I also can wear 2's and 4's. It took a lot of hard work and EATING the right foods! I'm 5'2 and about 137 right now. My step mom is 5'2 and about 110...and we can wear the same size pants?!?! Muscle...I lift she does not. It makes a huge difference.0

Speaking of arbitrary numbers...
The Sears online size chart currently lists the following measurements for a size 0:
Bust 32
Waist 25.5
Hips 35
In the 1993 Sears catalog the closest thing to that was a size 4:
Bust 32.5
Waist 24.5-25
Hips 35-35.5
But back in 1987, for a 32 bust you needed size 4, 35 hips were a size 6, a 25.5 waist was a size 10
In 1981, a 32 bust was a 6, 35 hips were a 6 or 8, 25.5 waist was a 10
1974: 32 bust was 6, 35 hips were a firm 8, 25.5 waist was a 12
And in 1964, today's 0 fell pretty much between a 10 and a 12.
Size 10: 32.5 bust, 24.5 waist, 34 hips
Size 12: 34 bust, 25.5 waist, 36 hips
All sizes from Sears catalogs over the years. I knew about the creep of vanity sizing, but until I looked up the actual numbers, I had no idea things had changed quite that much.0 -
Well my 20 year old daughter 5'9' is a size 0 - she eats whatever she wants and gains no weight. :grumble:
^^^ This was me minus 5 inches. Now at thirty, I have to log all my food.....

Sometimes it's more than weight. Like even if I was just skin and bones I would never be able to be a size 0. My hip bones will never be that small.0
-
I am a size 0. Whether or not that size is attainablefor you is almsot certainly due to your frame size and build. For example, if you were thin and fit in high school but still not a size 0, it's unlikley that size will ever be attainable. And there is nothing wrong with that.
I am 5'4 and about 105 lbs. 120 lbs on me woudl look huge, but on another 5 4 person 120 lbs might look anorexic. It just depends on your body type.
I agree with the above ^^^.
I'm 5,4" and when i was 120 pounds i looked too thin.
I am naturally muscular, so me being 105 pounds would just be ridiculous! Lol
It's all about your frame and build.
Although, some Celebs who were naturally "regular sizes" (such as Posh Spice, Nicole Richie etc.) seem like they now hardly eat a thing to stay that thin! 0 -
Seriously?!? What the EFF?!? Why do YOU care what size anyone but yourself wears? I was 120 pounds with 25% body fat and wore a size 6, then I gained weight and lost body fat (130 pounds and 18% body fat) and wear a 0 - 2. Who CARES? Do YOU. Worry about being happy with YOU.0

Body type and body frame. I will never be a size zero, wider hips etc from genetics0

I knew before clicking this that the OP would list her age as "18"
guessing 15 or 16 instead.0 -
Agree with others who say that you either have the skeletal structure to be a 0 or you don't. I could weight 100 pounds and still not be a 0. My pelvis is just too wide to ever fit that size, regardless of my weight.
Luckily, I could give a rat's posterior about "achieving" a size 0. Not on my list of goals...0 -
A lot of times it's really short, petite people.
I am happy being a size 4 and wouldn't want to be any smaller.

This makes me believe that I can become a Zero I knew sizes had changed and was going for a size 6.
In my teens I was a Junior 5 in the 80's even had some 3's size 7 was my fatty size.0 -
I believe that quite a few of us would be surprised to learn the sizes and/or weights of particular people. I went to high-school with a girl, for example, who was teeny tiny! She was a size 5. Others, visibly larger than her, weighed only 105 lbs, to her 125! Height, frame, muscle mass, and weight distribution, are all factors in what size you wear.0

Eat, lift weights, run0

When I was 21 I was 98 pounds and a size 0. I am 5ft with small bone structure. I didn't do anything to get that small. I ate smaller meals but wasn't doing it on purpose. (no diets) It wasn't until I had my first kid that I gained and had trouble getting back to my size. I will never be that thin again, not sure I can now.0

I've gone from a 16 to a 3 and i don't want to get any smaller. I'm the smallest I have even been and I'm 45 and eat 1200 to 1500 in calories 0

Sizing in woman's clothing has absolutely no standardization!!
A “0” in one store is a “4” in another, and generally, the more expensive the store is, the lower the sizes go. Retailers do this to trick people onto thinking they are smaller than they are in reality to sell more product. The way woman's clothing sizes are labeled is stupid! If ANYONE was ACTUALLY a zero, they wouldn't exist!
Whats next? Negative sizes??0 -
Some people are just born that way. They just stay small. I used to work with a girl who was 5'8 and size 0-3. She hated it but could never gain weight. I, of course, was extremely jealous. LOL The smallest I have ever been was a size 4 and i'm 5'8. I was 19% body fat and 135-140 pounds. I ate a LOT but I was VERY active.0

I agree. 14-16 most likely.
The "lose it for you" is a very high school mentality of "if I lose weight he will like me".
Eating 300 a day to fit a size 0 for him is just ...... -_-0
