    I doubt I could get to a zero but I know someone who is a size zero, fits comfortably in a 2 but chooses to wear a size 6 because they are very body conscious. She is 5'10" and very willowy. If I was that size I would embrace it and enjoy it instead of wearing really baggy clothes. Each to his own though. When I was slimmest at 140 I was filling a size 7 misses/ 8 women. I want to be 135. I can't imagine at 5'8" going any thinner without eating next to nothing.

    It really does depend on body type. I have a friend who is a size 0 for her top half (with a seriously itty bitty waist) but a size 4 for her bottom half. Those hips are just part of her build and never going anywhere.

    I was a size 0 for a little while after I lost all my weight (visit my profile :smile: )- it wasn't too hard for me to maintain, but I don't think I was very healthy about it. I'm not too tall though, and I have a very small frame, but I don't think I'll ever get back to that size- and I don't know that I want to anymore.

    I don't think I could ever reach a size 0, even if I tried!
    I think a UK size 8 would be the smallest I could ever reach. Only because my mum was a size 8 and I have the same body type as her. But really worked really really hard and looked sickly, she even admitted herself all she did was eat salads and exercise whilst working 2 jobs.

    A UK size 8 is more like a US size 4. A US size 0 is more like a UK size 4.

    One of my friends still shops in the kid's section. She's 32.



    That's my goal!

    I was a size 2 at 5'9" - I looked ill, and I still cringe at the photographs that were taken from that timeframe. It took me 2 years and change to get back to where I could be healthy. I was 113 pounds... It wasn't pretty. It was also hindered by severe insomnia. :/ I was eating a ton and unable to gain weight because I wasn't sleeping more than 3 hours a night. Once I started sleeping - I put on weight. Of course, I also destroyed my metabolism and now am struggling to get back down to 130. But that's my low limit, period.

    Also, sizing isn't everything. I wear clothing from a size 4 to a size 10 right now. Manufacturers/cut/design all vary, and so does my body structure from day to day! My goal weight is more a target for body fat percentage rather than what the tag says.... And I'm actually trying to reevaluate that a little bit as I have changed workouts and getting different results. :)

    until I got pregnant at 21 I had always been a size 0. I'm 4 ft 10 in. Back then my size was hard to find. Now, I don't care if I ever get that small again. I'm happier being fit and healthy. The comments I always got back then were how tiny my waist was. Now the comments are how fit and great I look.

    I'm naturally curvy and I have big hips, thighs, and calves, even when I weighed 105 pounds. I think the lowest I have ever worn was size 9, because of my hips and big leg factor.

    Maybe for a younger not fully grown woman. But once you have curves, it's kind of unrealistic. Maybe for women who have a straighter body type. And you would have to work really hard to keep that up.

    It's not an issue of achieving it. It should not be everyone's goal. Of course not everyone is going to be a size 0, but they will all be fit and look great at their size/body type. But, for small framed people, size 0 is a normal size for them and does not look too thin. Size 0 exists because all the sizes were made bigger, and now size 2 is too big for people. And it doesn't mean they aren't curvy, either, it just means they have an overall small bone structure and small size. I do have a 23 inch waist (my hips booty being 11 inches bigger) and I wear a size 00-0 usually. I have found I can wear a 2 in some yoga pants. I am petite.

    I agree, its shouldnt be everyones goal. for one, i can never be a size zero even if i starved myself because i have naturally wide hips. I was just checking out some pics of bebos transformation and got curious..... im not moving towards a size zero anytime soon :)

    It depends. Junior's size zero is an impossibility for me. I probably couldn't even get my arms in the legs of juniors size 0 jeans.

    But since I do have some size 2 in misses that fit, it's possible there's some vanity sized zeros that could fit.

    I'm currently about 140 pounds, with a decent amount of muscle. I'm able to fit into clothes I wore in high school and into my early 20s when I was 105-120 pounds. Losing more weight won't make me significantly smaller, just bonier. And it's the width of those bones that determine my clothing size.

    I was just thinking if this thread referred to a US or UK size zero. There was a thing a few years ago, when size zero fascination was at its peak, about being a true zero which is being a UK size zero, which would be like a -4 in the US.

    I'm currently pushing between a size 0 and a size 2. But I'm only 5'3" have an EXTREMELY small frame, and weigh 111 pounds, too. The hardest part for me is actually *finding* those sizes anywhere....

    My daughter is a 00, and we find a very nice selection at Delias? We are in NC.

    But you said this in your OP:
    my opinions are, yes, size zero is a healthy possibility and i think anybody can attain it

    That statement is scary!

    Threads like this can turn ridiculous because people start placing all kinds of judgements on the size 0. I don't think a size should be a goal. Being fit is a better goal and whatever size that turns out to be, is the right size for that person.

    I think it totally depends on your height and build! For example a short woman with a small frame could totally pull it off and still look great, but for someone like me who is 5'9"....not so much!

    for me? Yes. For everyone? No. I say yes for me, because I am a size zero and I am healthy. Healthier now, in fact than I was when I was wearing a size 6, weighing 98 pounds. I'm now wearing a zero, but weigh 118 pounds. I wore a size zero at 130 pounds with 15% body fat, too. It CAN be healthy, so long as the person goes about it the right way.


    ETA: I am 35, 5'5" and have 2 children.
