This might be a stupid question but is it possible to every person to get down to a very low size such as 0 or 1? (Obviously not counting those with medical conditions or anything like that).
Last time I was a size 1 was 4 years ago when I was only 12 pounds lighter. Right now I'm a size 6 (same height). I'm starting to feel like there's no way I'm even capable of getting back into a size 1 because of my bone structure changing as I've gotten older. Is that possible?

Women's bodies continue to change as they get older.1 -

18 according to profile.
So you are correct in thinking that you may not be capable of getting back to the size you were when you were 14 years old. Your body has almost definitely changed since then.

Yes. I'm 24 and a size 0 (getting close to a 00). Am 5'6 and around 125. You don't have to lose weight to lose size. In fact, I've slightly gained some weight as I've lost inches. Weight training is key.10

And no, I don't think everyone can be a size 0/1. Even at my leanest - right before I competed in a figure competition, I wasn't smaller than a size 8 pant. Even though I was pretty lean (not pro bodybuilder lean though) I could probably have lost a bit more fat and maybe gone down a size but I still could never be a size 0/1 without losing muscle mass.0

I wouldn't even be aiming to lose the 12 lbs. You are still trying to weigh what you did when you were 15. Again, your body has gone through changes in the time frame.
Is there a reason you want to lose 12 lbs other than that's what you used to weigh?3 -

The only clothes that come in a size 0 here in Aus are babies clothes.
How anyone can be a size nothing totally confounds me! I would love to know why and who came up with ridiculous concept..39 -
There are absolutely women who can maintain at a US size 0, I know quite a few. They are generally super narrowly built or have Asian ancestry, but they're gorgeous 0's. Personally I don't think my body would ever go that low but that doesn't mean that other women can't possibly do it.2

My mom had a thyroid condition as a teen and was 115 pounds at 5'10" So - model height and weight (at the time).
She was still a size 13. A lot of it is down to bone structure. You can't be smaller than your bones.8 -

I agree with you but don't think she meant it that no one can do it. I think it was more can "everyone" do it. The title is a little confusing.4 -
Your body changes based on age, weight gain/loss, pregnancy, hormones, ect. I was down to a size 1 at one point in my life but based on how my bones have shifted during pregnancy there is a chance they will never go back. I have gained some fat during my pregnancy but my small sizes go up to my hips and stop. I was wearing size 3-5 all the way up to 7 months and then my hips just lost it. Lol. I 100% believe there are just some people who will never be able to fit in those small sizes, but not for any bad reasons.3

That makes more sense, I was sat here thinking, "Well the fact that the size exists should answer this question." lol.3 -
