SIZE ZERO!!!!!

Size zero is more like a 2 nowadays. I can wear size 0 in certain brands, and I don't look unhealthy or too small.

LOL--My ancestors are all of strong rural Eastern European stock. I'll never be a size 0! Size 10 will be about as good as it gets, and even with losing 30% of my starting body weight, my legs are still tree stumps.

I'm a size zero in some stuff...I'm also a size 1, a size 2, a size 3, a size 4, heck I'm even a size 5.

It really doesn't matter.

My wife wears size O petite and sometimes a OO. This is after having four kids. Would go to 150 lbs. with each (all were between 8lb. 6oz. to 8lb. 9oz.) and 3 months after giving birth was right back to her 95lbs. She is 5ft. 1in. and the doctor tells her she should weight around 107 to 110. She has managed to reach 107 a couple of times but just as soon as she slows up on her eating it's right back to 95lbs.. Has had her thyroid and everything else checked out and all is normal. Doctors just tell her it's just the way she is built. She works out 4 times weekly (2 times cardio and 2 times weight) and probably eats 3500 calories a day easy. Have actually found her crying a few times because her coworkers tease her about how much she eats. Her father always kept a copy of her birth certificate in the truck as he kept getting pulled over for her not being in a child seat. She was 15 at the time. Sometimes I wish I had her problem but after seeing how much stress it puts on her at times I'm not so sure. Her grandmother that lived into her nineties and seven children was the same way until the day she passed away.

I think you can achieve it tha healthy way but many people would like to do it no matter what. And well, it depends on your height as well- if you're very short you can easily achieve size zero but if you're for example 5'10''?

I disagree, if your short AND naturally thin then you are more likely to achieve a size zero. For shorter girls (as one myself) I think its harder because we have smaller abdominal areas and smaller legs and weight shows WAY more then with taller people. I know many taller people who weight more or about the same as me and wear smaller clothes than I do. So I believe that opposite is true, the taller you are the better chance that you could achieve a size zero, i.e. work at it.

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.

When you have a nice round butt, legs and hips at 5'5, you will never be a size zero. If this is your pic, you are on the wrong site. You shouldn't lose another pound. You look great and I wouldn't worry about counting calories ever again.

If you naturally have the body type for it yes, but if you don't, no.

Agree. I was a size zero then I started weight training and then had kids. I can be a size zero again. But if that means no muscle, I don't want it. Size 2 and 4 is a happy place for my legs and butt.

nobody can see the tag on your clothes unless you are wearing them inside out anyway.....so if it's your healthy body and you are a zero that's great.

I am a size 0 in Chico's clothing. its just the way they size their clothing. I'm a 4 or 6 depending on the cut for all other stores. I bought a pair of pants at Chico simply because I wanted a size 0 in my closet :laugh:

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 do not diet and I have 2 children.

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?
