Can anyone be a size 2?

I do not beleive that everyone has the bone structure to be those sizes. With that being said, I never thought I'd be a size 4 either. I am 5'10 and 135 with a pear shape as well. I have reached my goal weight and am now focusing on getting my thighs and bum-bum in better shape and smaller. However, I do not think I personally will ever be smaller than a 4. I have a small frame but still just don't think it's possible.

But I guess almost anything is possible...:indifferent:

Don't stress on what the tag says. It's inaccurate anyway! Not only do all designers run differently (some smaller, some larger), but designers in general are putting different numbers on the same measurements. For example, the measurements that use to be a size 4 are now a size 6. If I were you, I'd worry more about losing inches and pounds. Inches especially if you are doing weight training. Going down dress sizes is really nice, but don't stress on what the final number is. Just wear what fits and know that you are being healthier and losing weight!!! Great job so far, and good luck on the remainder of your journey!

Hey there!

I feel your pain...I'm 5'9 1/2", and I weigh 132 lbs. I'm STILL a size 8!!! But you know what? It's okay with me! I'm tall, and I've accepted that I'll NEVER be a 1 or a 2...Some people just don't have the stature to be that low...

The number on the scale, or on the tag of an item of clothing doesn't define you. How you feel about yourself does! Be proud of your accomplishment, and don't compare yourself to anyone else!

I think it depends on the cut of jeans. After my 3rd child I got down to 118 (alas, those were the days). I could wear a size 2 in certain jeans but had others that were sized bigger and were much tighter. My current goal is to get into my size 4 clothes. I can do them up, but am living proof that just because you can fit in a size 4 doesn't mean that you should. I still have a ways to go before I would dare wear them in public. I have 8's that are tight and 6's that are loose. Just find the right cut and brand for you.

Meeeeeee! I am a size 2. But - I am only 5'1" and pretty small boned (although I have hilariously big feet). You know what works better than clothing sizes???? Measurements! The clothes sizes vary with each manufacturer and can't really tell you very much about your healthy size. That being said - best of luck to you on your amazing journey!

I had spent my entire teen and adult life in a size 8+ (mostly plus ) so I didn't think it was possible for me to get any smaller. I figured my bone structure was just too big to get much smaller but I did set a goal for a size 6. I lost 50 pounds and to my shock (and delight) I fit very comfortably into a size 4. I didn't think that was a size I would EVER see. I think I could get into a size 2 if I really put my mind to it but I am more than happy in a 4. Do your best and give it your all and you might be surprised at what you can accomplish!

I'm sure it's possible, but does the size of your clothes really matter that much? You could be a size 2 and anorexic, or a healthy size 6. Maybe you should just wait until you get closer to your goal and see how you feel to worry about what size clothes you want to be wearing, or better yet, don't worry about it and be healthy.

One of the biggest things I've realized in the last year or so is that the number on the clothes doesn't matter once you get close to your goal. Your body is smaller, more toned, and there's less fat hanging over the tops of things (darn you, muffin top!). So whether you're in size 2 or size 4, it doesn't really matter because people can't really tell just by looking at you. You look great in whatever size you happened to be at. My boyfriend even told me that he doesn't care what the number is because he doesn't really "understand" women's clothing sizes to begin with! hahah... so when I said "I want to be a size 4" he responded "that's nice babe, I have no idea what that means but go for it"... lol... boys.

So, the moral of my story, focus on things like how you look in the clothes, not what the size is. I'm pretty much a size 6. But I have a pair of size 4s from Tommy Hilfiger, size 8's from American Eagle... size 13!!!!! from a brand in Macys (Juniors run smaller).... you get my idea. But I look darn good in all of them

So very true!!! In my closet, I have sizes 2 through 6, and they all fit me now. It definitely depends on the brand. So most certainly, don't focus on the size on the tag!! Do what feels comfortable, be happy with your body, not the size of your jeans!

Yes and No. Not everyone has the body structure to be a size 2, and for that matter it's just a size NOT a state of mind. My sizes range from a 6-2 (28-26), I'm 5'3" and 137lbs which for some my height would be heavy but for me it's not. I can't compare myself to other 5'3" women, I'm fortunate enough to hold my weight well and be very proportioned. When I was under 130lbs I was smaller than the average 2. But I have no desire to be that small again.
