    I had a friend who was a size 00 or 0 - she looked great...she had a really petite frame and did not look sickly. Me on the other hand? I have curves/hips and a butt that I could never squeeze into a size 0 - not that I would want too...it wouldn't look good on me...my ideal size is an 8/9

    I weigh 150 lbs right now and fit into a US 4/6. I have about another 20 lbs to go to be at the highest healthy BMI.

    I think it's possible that when I get to my goal weight, I could be a size 0. I have muscular legs bug I'm small framed at 5'1.

    I vary beween a size 4-6. I could probably fit into a zero, but honestly, I have no desire to look/have the body type of a 12 year old girl.

    eh, at 12 I was 120 lbs and a C cup working my way into a D cup. At 12 I was more shapely than quite a few adult women. At 25 (almost 26) I'm 121 pounds, a size 0-2, and a DD. I'm 5'4' and have been that height since I was 13.

    Me, too. I was at my current height with hips and boobs by 12. I started my period when I was 11. I was taller than everyone up until that point. Then I stopped growing and they kept growing and I ended up one of the shorties! lol But I've had my hourglass figure since I was about 10 years old.

    That said, without trying, my body just dropped a bunch of weight between 12 and 15 and I ended up much smaller when I was older. I guess something to do with hormones and puberty. I don't think 115 pounds for me -- maybe even 110 -- at 36 years old is unattainable or unhealthy. I have a small frame.

    I have no idea what size that is, but when I was a teenager, it was a juniors' size 3.

    Different strokes, for different folks. I have been in that boat. I weighed 95 lbs and was a 00 until i was 23 when I had my child, then I was a size 2. I look at pics of me then and now and I and I just can't fathom being that tiny again. Currently, I'm 5'4" and am at 117 (a year ago I dropped to 110 and it just didn't look right). What looks good on someone else doesn't necessarily apply for me, but more power to you if that works for you.

    I had to get down to around 105 Ibs at my 5'10 height, to get the 33-34 hips required for that size.
    It is the size that many anorexics strive for, and will near kill themselves to be.
    That, to me, considering there are a number of such on this site, makes this topic irresponsible and triggering.
    It is no more something to be proud of, than someone being a size 8 or 14 or 6.
    But those who have an obsession with size and numbers, who are eating disordered, will see this topic and be agonising over how to get themselves to this supposedly much coveted size 0.

    Not going to happen! I have zero interest in looking like a walking skeleton. I'm a 16 now and family think it's time to stop. I will aim for 12. I want to be healthy, not "skinny"

    I would never want to be a size 0, don't think I would ever be able to get there though, unless I would starve myself for a year.

    OMG! Me too. Exactly same story :) Was taller than everybody , had period when I was 11 and just stopped growing!!! I am 5.2'' My goal weight is 120 pounds but I think I'll reanalyze from there because I can easily go upto 110 pounds as recommended by my doc!

    I want to look strong. I want to run marathons. I want to kick *kitten* as needed. Given the size of my skeleton, I doubt I could accomplish any of this at Size 0.

    okay, the size zero trend hit the fashion industry and never really faded..... Do you think size zero is a healthy possibility? and can anybody with willpower attain it? my opinions are, yes, size zero is a healthy possibility and i think anybody can attain it (look at bebo, man!)
    What do you think?

    I think that STRONG IS THE NEW SKINNY! http://sophieologie.wordpress.com/2013/05/12/strong-is-the-new-skinny-pg/

    Check out this girl's story. She starved herself down to a size zero. But she was weak and cranky and miserable. Then she learned how to be STRONG. In the pic below she is a weak size 0 on the left and a healthy strong size 2 on the right. Do you think she cares she is not a size 0 anymore? :flowerforyou:

    SIZE 0 <
    > SIZE 2
    [Edit: Sorry the pic is too big. You'll just have to read the article! :wink: ]

    I'm a size zero. At least on the bottom. I'm short though, only 5'2", and I'm a distance runner, so I tend to have very low body fat. Shirts and tops I tend towards a size 2 though as I've got slightly wider shoulders from years of swimming training and the 0's just won't fit right.

    I'm almost 33 years old though (3 more weeks...ugh). I don't actually give much of a crap about fitting into a "size 0" or having a "thigh gap" etc. I like to think I'm a bit old to be worrying myself about that kind of thing. As long as I'm fit and healthy. It just so happens that given my current state of being, I happen to be wearing a size 0.

    I'm wearing a size 0 skinny jeans right now as I type this. But they are pretty stretchy, and I like a snug fit. Most brands I'd be a 2, I think.

    I think it depends on your body type. When I'm pretty lean I'm wear a size 1 in jeans. But I have a really small frame. I have a friend that has a lower body fat percentage than me but wears a 5. There is no way she could wear a zero. And she looks amazing.

    It depends on your goals and what you will look like wearing the size zero. For a lady 5'7" or taller it might be too thin. I think that 135 and heavier at 5'2" is too heavy. I think pants/shorts size goes along with height and short be proportionate. I know plenty of ladies that are size zero and look HEALTHY and GREAT. I think there are good many jealous people here and it does show in the message boards. If you are working to a goal great, if you are struggling ................ look in the mirror and get it right.

    It doesn't mean that you're not healthily fit. It just depends on your body. I wear size zero and size one jeans, but I'm much heavier than I should be, but my body naturally fits in it.

    But society's view of zero is so extreme.

    Size zero today was a size 5/6 30 years ago. It's just a label. I don't think much about the size of the clothes I buy, but I worry about how they look and feel.

    Two years ago, I was thrilled to the bone when I tried on a pair of size 4 jeans and they fit. I wanted to keep the tag on them. :laugh: I understand that wearing a small size makes you feel good.

    But really... it's meaningless. Buy what fits and flatters and ignore the tag. I've gone into stores wearing size two jeans, and bought a pair of size 8 that fit exactly the same. I've taken multiple sizes into the dressing room, in the same brand and style, and had smaller sizes fit looser than larger sizes.

    I've known people who worked in the garment industry (dress factories used to be a thriving industry around here) who admitted that sometimes they put whatever tag they had left on whatever garment they had left. They were paid piece-rate, not by the hour, so the more they finished, the more they earned. They weren't going to take the time to make sure everything was perfect. I can't imagine that's changed.

    here's my thought on this. While I didn't strive to be a zero, I won't apologize for it. I am fit and healthy and could care less what anyone else thinks, as their opinions are not my business. That being said, I also don't worry with what size others are wearing, but can only hope they are healthy and above all, happy.

    That's so nice of you to say to those of us who do wear a size zero. Thank you for the compliment and motivation.

    Exactly. The post I quoted above wants us to do just that - apologize for it.

    She can bite me - seriously.

    um, no. I don't want anyone to apologize for anything. I want everyone to be healthy and happy in their skin. Period.

    My aunt is a size 0 and sometimes a 00. She is naturally thin and could eat a house. Only recently have I noticed a little spare tire forming but that is expected since she's finally over the age of 50. My mom, (her sister) andI are on the other side of that spectrum. We are both over the size 16. I think genetics and lifestyle are to blame however I will never be a 0. Hell, I dont think I will ever be a single digit size again!

    Have to respectfully disgree on the "easy to get to size 0 if you're short". It's not nor would I want to. I'm 5'0 and weighing in now at 109 (having lost 50 lbs since last summer). I'm in a petite 4/6 and wouldn't want to go lower. When I was once a size 0 in my early 20's, I was happy with it. However, now I look back on those photos and think I looked really bony. And I"m not coming down on the size zero's out there. If you're happy & healthy, that's what matters, but my body seems to want to stay this size. I've been holding here for weeks and couldn't be happier.

    I was wondering about that, but it was a quote of my quote, so I was confused.

    Yeah, it doesn't make sense if she means you. I think she was quoting to agree with you.
