SIZE ZERO!!!!!

My BF is 5'7" and she weighs 105 pounds. Always been skinny as a rail. At her heaviest, 9 months pregnant, she weighed 130 pounds. She wears a size 0. She has 4 kids and you would never think she had even one. Some people are just genetically lucky I guess. My goal is to be a solid size 6 ( US 6 ).0

i feel like i am a very healthy looking size zero. i don't think i particularly look like my size and my body fat percentage is 27%. i've got curves and muscles. i definitely wouldn't say it's possible for everyone, nor would it look good on everyone. but i'm just really tired of people treating it like a bad thing in some circles.0

It really just depends on how you're build. I am only 5'2" but I have very wide hip bones and back in the day when I was young and very thin (105 lbs) I was a size 5 jeans and 2/3 in dresses or skirts. On the other hand I have a friend who is my height who is shaped differently with much more narrow hips and a smaller bone structure in general and at that same weight she is a size 0. I suppose it could be healthy for some people, but definitely not for me lol.0

If i was wearing a size zero...it would probably be in a hospital ward. That would be horrendously too thin for my body...like concentration camp thin. Size zero isn't meant to be a goal for gahd's sake!!! Its a size. Some tiny people wear it. Its also very much vanity sizing....and if its your goal...you probably need to re-examine your priorities.0

My extremely skinny 13 year old wears a size 0! I would NEVER want to fit into my 13 yr olds clothes, I mean she is soooo skinny it's ridiculous, I honeslty think women over like 20 look gross and way too skinny in a size 0, go for a 3 or 5 at the least
Some people are naturally very skinny. What if I told you that being a size 10 is just too fat and make you look like a cow? Come on now! Your daughter is not done growing yet. An adult person at a size 0 can still have some shape to her.0 -
Honestly, this conversation kind of makes me want to cry. Why are you (and the world) so obsessed with being so small? I'm struggling right now just to get down to the "overweight" category...I'm naturally very heavy and have a hard time taking off any sort of weight that I put on. (Yes, there are medical factors involved and I am working with my doctor on overcoming those.) Shouldn't we be more concerned with being healthy? Shouldn't we be focused less on size and more on whether a person has low blood pressure, their blood glucose levels, and their cholesterol?
Yes we should and those of us who are not small should never be made to feel bad because we're not a size 0. I'm losing weight to maintain my health, and if I didn't have to, I wouldn't be worried about my weight. I'm definitely not going to worry about getting down to a size 'nothing'0 -
This is an amusing thread. Seems like there are some size 12 girls hating on size zero girls. I'm not going to lie, I find size 0 girls to be most attractive.
Nobody's hating, everybody type is not meant to be a size 0 and most women aren't, but people have literally starved themselves to be liked and judged by people who find size zeroes more attractive than regular size women.0 -

BTW, some of us who have children never look like we've had kids. How does that look anyway? Just wondering because I hear people say that all the time, 'you don't even look like you had kids'.0 -
that is such a silly argument and disrespectful. I am a size 0 sometimes 00 and I am 120 lbs. I am only 5.1 and have always been a small size. I am curvy and not skinny at all in fact many people wouldn't even guess my size. it's all down to proportions and lean body mass. I have shopped in children's clothes and bought 12 yrs old clothes because is so very difficult to buy small clothes so before you make these generic statements think about it.My extremely skinny 13 year old wears a size 0! I would NEVER want to fit into my 13 yr olds clothes, I mean she is soooo skinny it's ridiculous, I honeslty think women over like 20 look gross and way too skinny in a size 0, go for a 3 or 5 at the least
Agreed. I'm over 20 and a size 00 and in no way do I feel "gross" or overly skinny.
It's mostly about proportions and bone structure. I'm 5'1, around 98 pounds with a small frame, so I hit size zero quite easily when I lost weight.
You also have to keep in mind the vanity sizing trend. I tried on my mother's vintage size 0 dresses and they fit perfectly. However, if I go try on the same size in a regular store I'm swimming in them.
Any sort of body shaming, whether it be about a bigger or smaller types, is unnecessary. Your statement is just as ridiculous as someone saying, '"I honestly think women over like 20 look gross and way too fat in a size 10, go for a 8 or 6 at least".
I don't know but you sound a little angry, but I bet you weren't saying that 45lbs ago. LOL0 -
Most women over 5'5" cannot attain a size zero because of the size of the pelvis bone (except women with very small frames). I remember being a size zero before my last growth spurt. I cannot get back down to it without surgically altering my hip bones. It really depends on the size of your skeleton. A 5 foot tall woman with a small frame could be quite healthy at a size zero.0

I just wanna understand if you have a 23 inch waist and don't diet, why you are on this site? If you're maintaining your size 0, why do you need to count calories? It doesn't take much to not eat. I'm not being mean, I'm just confused. I really would like to know why bother with this site?
This site is not just for people who want to lose weight. You don't have to want/need to lose weight to be into fitness!
I don't know about you but once I reach my goal weight, I'm never coming to this site again. I hate, hate, hate counting calories and keeping a daily log of what I eat. I got better things to do with my time. If I can't master my eating habits by the time I lose weight, then I'm just messed up.
There's a 95% failure rate for long term weight loss success. Good luck with doing better things with your time, after you hit goal.
Thanks, I'll need plenty of good wishes. LOL0 -
I don't know where you shop, but it seems as though the clothes are smaller than the tags, i.e. JCP, New York and Co., Kohls, Burlington Coat Factory, TJ Maxx, Marshalls. I am 5'5 and was 165 and enrolled in a very strict exercise and nutrition plan, and everyone, including the doctor, suggested that I stop losing weight and I was a size 8 at my lowest. So, unless you don't have a curvalicious body, I can't see how you are a 0. I'm not denying that you are, it's just hard for me to picture.
I'm generally not a 0, only in certain brands. Express, Limited, Chicos (places I buy office clothes)...all run really big. I usually wear between a 2 & 4 if I buy stuff from Target, Macys, Marshalls, etc.
Thanks, maybe I'll start shopping there too. Maybe my clothes will fit better.0 -
I'm 43, 5'2", small frame and wear a size 2 in misses or 3 in juniors (yes I have both). I am the same measurements I was in HS, so I don't think I'm wearing Vanity sizes. I could probably be a 0 but I have a hard enough time finding 2s...I can't imagine trying to find a 0. I only shop in juniors for casual clothes or workout gear. And yeah, yes, I bought some workout shorts at Walmart and bought XS in the junior dept. However, I'm still plenty curvy and could still stand to lose a little.0

That is unbelievably disrespectful and immature. I clearly said body shaming, whether for small or large women is wrong.
I 100% would have said the same thing 45 pounds ago. No matter what weight I am, my philosophy for not shaming other's body types and weights has remained unchanged.
All women are beautiful at no matter what size they naturally are. I gained 45 pounds because of depression and emotional eating. I lost the weight because I wanted to be healthy again, not to be a size 0.
You, my dear, are the only angry one here.0 -

What's a "regular size woman"?0 -
I have absolutely no interest at all in obtaining or trying to obtain a size 0 body. I never have been that small nor am I interested in being that small. Ive known a couple of girls in my life who were/are size 0 they were all that size naturally. they did not diet, and they at whatever they wanted, but because they had such high metabolisms they never gained any weight, as a matter of fact my bff Kitt complains regularly about not being able to gain weight and always staying under 100lbs not matter what she ate (she wanted to be at least 110)
I think that size 0 is a size that you either are naturally or you get that small by being unhealthy with your dieting. I personally don't think anybody should strain themselves to be that small. if by continuing to eat healthy and exercise you get that small then kudos otherwise don't beat yourself up about it. Personally despite the fashion trend for size 0 clothes I think that, that size is actually a very rare one.0 -

I think you know what I mean. Flat stomach, no stretch marks anywhere on your body, perfect boobs. Typically people, including me, have some signs or "scars" left over lol0 -

Lol size 0 is just a size, not size "nothing". Is size 12 "size everything" then?
Hahahah angry fatty.
Not cool.0 -

Well, I plan on getting pretty small. Down to my lowest adult weight which is 118. I was a 24 inch waist at the time so if former posters are correct that 23 is size zero, and I plan on being more fit than back then by lifting, so a smaller waist may ensue. Also that size zero has now replaced a bigger size as all sizes have bumped up due to (I'm guessing) vanity sizing...then there is a possibility I may be one. IF that happens it will be my most guarded secret. I can't even imagine anyone asking "what size are you" and responding "ZERO" all natural and happy without hearing *gasp* and getting weird looks. I couldn't possibly imagine giving BinaryPulsars logical explanation after that and having it be accepted. So whatever size I end up being from 4 to 0 it will be my secret. Along with how I got there, because of all the millions of MFP threads I've read where onlookers to weight loss chime in with insane philosophies, tips, and suggestions.
My size, my weight, my methods=my business. Have a nice day.:flowerforyou:0 -
Unfortunately... ( and i know who Bebo is)....the Bollywood industry is way too focused on the actresses being as skinny as possible. Im from India and i grew up in this culture...its basically..." be as skinny as you can possibly be without regard to whether or not youre really fit or if youre "skinny fat"
Bebo may be a size 0...but is she fit or just skinny fat? There has been plenty of news ( most of which i watched on TV and in the newspapers in India) about her "diet" which consists of eating like a bird and starving herself most of the time.
This is Kareena Kapoor, Bollywood actress...for those who may not know who " Bebo" is.0 -

well i guess it depends, depending on the day, age of the children, and health of the mother, it can look like this

Hahahah angry fatty.
"Everything" bagel anyone?
in my case yes, currently am probably a size 12 (or 10, or 8,) depending on the store and I do think "everything" is a good name for it because I can eat anything the way I diet. Also, though I will be able to eat "everything" when I am a size zero too. Yay for me. And yay for IIFYM.
ETA: btw. "angry fatty" --uncalled for. and too much. seriously. i didn't think it was right to shame the size zero's by calling them size "nothing" as I plan to be one soon. i also don't think it's right to call the size 12's "angry fatty" as I beleive I currently am one. I have never been a size 18 or 22 but I can guess I will find it equally as offensive if you come up with a name for them being that I, like almost everyone everywhere has a couple in their family that fit this description. (I thought there was an age limit to go on MFP? Who let the 12 year old mentalities in here?)0 -
I have size 0 or 2 pants because I have narrow hips and a small bum. Not because I am underweight.
So if you read my stats on the internet you'd say I was too skinny. But if you ran into me in real life you might notice I have muscle definition and boobs. You wouldn't look at me and say "boy, shes too skinny".
People need to just be more open minded and realise that everyone is different and one vague set of numbers can't possibly define millions of individuals.0 -

You're amusing, as you are the primary hater. I scanned through the comments and you deliberately made comments at three size 0 girls. Something along the lines of "you shouldn't be on this website" or "you angry as use to be 45 pounds". Just because you're way past your prime at 47, don't hate on young beautiful women.

THIS!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.0 -
Depends on your build. For some, it's very achievable while others can never go there without resorting to extreme measures, or not at all.
That said, clothing sizes don't really mean much to me. I have clothes ranging from size 0 through size 9 in my closet and they ALL fit.0 -
