    I am a size 8 or 10 right now and am uncomfortable but I think my frame is meant to be smaller. My sister is small (size 2) and my mother always was until she started taking some medication that caused her to gain a lot. I would like to lose about 20 more pounds and see a size 4 I think. Definitely not a 0 that would be scary on me.

    I was a size 4 in college but was too thin to even donate blood (110 lbs). That was wayyyy too thin (I was very healthy though!)

    Now I'm battling hard to get back to an 8 and stay there (I always seem to gain during work travel).

    I don't even think size 0 is a normal size or a normal measurement if me at a size 4 was too thin to donate blood. Just a thought.

    it is a normal size if you are around 5ft tall and don't have "large" body frame :)
    As for curves, i was a 0 in my late teens early 20's and still rocked a DD cup so... there yah have it. Im much more interested in a strong body now, but i wouldn't say 0 or 00 is far fetched, or sick, for someone of my size, and im not alone :)

    Nope, you're not alone! I never had the goal of getting to a size 0, it just happend. I'm 5'4'', 121 pounds, 17% bf, and a size 0. I have a small frame and still have my DD boobs! I am able to donate blood at this size as well! I don't often because my veins collapse - but that has ALWAYS happened, even when I was 215 pounds.

    My success was determined not by the weight on the scale or the size of my clothes but by how I felt, I far I could run, and how much I could lift. I'm in the best shape of my life and I love it!

    I am very very small boned. At my heighest weight, I was an american size 2. Thats not as small as it sounds when you have a tiny little structure. With 10lbs down I could fit comfortably in a zero while still having a healthy BMI:

    I was a size zero with BMI within the 'normal' range. I had my curves even then, big boobs, waist, hips etc. The whole sizing thing is entirely dependant on build, I've got a friend who looks flipping fabulous in a size 14. Being comfortable in your skin is what's important.

    I was a size 0 when I was struggling with anorexia. I was not happy at that weight or size because I wasn't healthy. I would love to be a size 8 or 10. I was happiest at that size. I looked good at that size.
