    lol, size what????????? Girl no size 2 is for 9th graders......I am a real woman!

    Oh and this is just plain offensive. Some of my tops are US size 2s. Am I not a real woman because I'm naturally quite petite?

    Obviously you're a fake women, duh.

    I don't really have a goal weight in mind. I'm just going to keep going until I get to a point where I am confident and comfortably in myself again and then I'll switch to maintaining. I'm currently only setting myself small goals of 5lbs and each time I accomplish that, I reassess if I want to go for the next 5 :) I'm currently 5'6 and 165/166 but still have a tummy I hate. I've recently started lifting heavy weights though and haven't lost much in the last couple weeks but I'm getting firmer :)

    5'6" here and when I was my lowest at 146, I was a size 6. Anything smaller than that and I'd be considered anorexic for my frame. I'd love to be 155-160 (size 9). I think that was the best of both worlds for me.

    I've never even been a sized 2 even at my thinnest! I've got hips and a butt that aren't going anywhere no matter what I lose. I'm around 5'6" (I think it's actually like 5'3/4" lol) but I'm aiming for 150lbs. I LOVE my curves so I'm just aiming for a healthier body WITH curves!! I told myself I'd reevaluate once I get down to 150lbs but I'd rather be a toned 150 than a jiggly 130 if you know what I mean. :)

    Good luck and you are not alone!!! :flowerforyou:

    Me, at my age that's unrealistic.150-160 would make me happy. 5' 6"

    You're the same age and height as my mom, and she's a size 2...she's a personal trainer and in better shape than I've ever been in my life!

    But anyway, I don't exactly know what size I want to be. I'm 5'3" and have a small frame so maybe I'd look great at a size 2, maybe a size 4, maybe a 6...I won't really know until I get there. I've been that small before--but I wasn't healthy. I'm probably healthier now at a size 10 than I was at a 0 when I was 18. Lowering my body fat percentage to the range where I'd like it, I could very well be a size 2. But as long as I'm healthy and my body fat percentage is somewhere between 18-20%, I'll be able to say I've hit my goal.

    ETA: When I was a size 0, I still had hips and size D breasts, so a person can be curvy and small at the same time. Just depends on body type. I'm sure I'll always have curves no matter what size I am, I'd just like for those curves to be nice and firm!
  • I am 5'5" I am trying to get down to 200 lbs righ now I am around 260. Dont care what size... it will be smaller. Then I will decide if I can go down further. Wearing a 20 now maybe I will be in an 18. Dont want to go down too fast. Need funds for new clothes.

    [chuckling at the thought I could EVER be a size 2...]
    My plan is to be a sexy nerd with curves for days, and since I refuse to spend the rest of my days miserable by such an impossible (for me) goal, and my honey loves a little extra cushion...well, that's a heck no.
    Yay for all those whose goal it is...but this girl wants a little more to love = ).

    Definitely not me! With my bone structure I would seriously look like a skeleton with skin pulled over it! Even then I'm sure I wouldn't be a size 2. : /
  • I'm a little over 5'5. My current weight is 163. My doctor told me he would be satisfied at 150. I'm a size 14. I carry most of my weight around my stomach. I'm shooting for the 150 and then I'll see from there. After 3 kids I'll never be a skinny person.

    I'm a guy, currently wearing size 34. I'm thinking my backbone has more than a 2 inch circumference, so no, I won't be going for a size 2 anytime soon. I'd need a saber saw. On, and to be dead. :laugh:

    Seriously, though, women's clothing sizes utterly mystify me. How can a "size" be expressed by the number zero? :noway:

    It's like Starbucks, a universe where there is no such thing as "small", "medium", and "large". It starts out a lie (no, that coffee ain't "tall" in anyone's book, sunshine) and then starts to use fancy foreign words to hide the fact that you are paying $1.50 extra for a "medium". LOL.

    It's because no woman wants to say she wears a 24 or whatever is equal to a 4/6 - it's all marketing. That's all it is.

    And If you'd understand the meaning behinds starbucks if you knew the company was started after an Italian journey. That's why they use those names.

    Designer denim goes by waist sizes. So the sizes go from 24-31 I believe

    Definitely not looking to be a size 2, however I think clothing designers have created this obsession with women and what size they wear. In all honesty, who knows what size you are wearing other than you? Unless you have the tag hanging out of the back of your clothes, honestly, would anyone be able to really tell if you are a two or a four. The goal should be to get healthy for your particular frame, it it turns out that once you reach your healthy goal, you happen to be a size 2 then good for you, otherwise no one will really ever know what size you are wearing unless you choose to advertise it. :wink:

    My 57 year old mother is apparently a fake woman too since she wears a size 2.

    I'm not looking to be a certain size. I, however, did get into some size 8 jeans and decided I'm happy here, but kept up with my training/eating habits and have just kept going down. I ignore the scale numbers, but do weigh in once every now and then (when my workout buddy brings it up). I do check measurements weekly/biweekly.

    I'm not going to rely on anything but how I am feeling and right now, I feel sexy as heck. I love the changes I'm seeing and can't wait to see how it continues to change!

    It's sad to see how limited is the experience of some people on this forum. Hate to break it to her, but I see lots of Size 2 women on the street.

    In addition, the most expensive clothes tend to be made in smaller sizes because wealthy women are generally slimmer. It's just a fact.

    For me,size is just a number,just like age is just a number. I think the size you feel the best in is what you should go with. Today sizing is more vanity sizing. Vintage sizes are so different,consider a 1940's dress pattern size 12 is equal to a size 6 today:-)

    Can say I am looking to be a size 2 as I am a man but frankly I am not looking to be any "size" or weight rather my target is a certain body fat percentage.

    Where are you from? I generally find that people are less shocked by the notion of smaller clothing sizes in parts of Europe.

    Also, I really wish I could say I was wealthy :(

    Ugh, tell me about it! I'm 5'7" and currently a size 14. I would LOVE to be a size 10, or maybe even an 8. I once did a thing in high school that measured my body fat. I learned that without any fat on my body, I would be 128 pounds. That is just muscle and fat. The doctor told me that 140 would be the lowest, healthy weight for me. So no size 2 for me! If anyone is looking for friends with similar goals, please feel free to add me!

    My goal isn't so much a size or a weight, I just want to get to where I am happy with my body, not hungry all the time, and able to maintain over the long run. I'm 5'7". I figure I'll probably end up around 160-165ish, but mostly I just want to be able to feel like I can put my arms down without hitting chub, sit comfortable without muffining over my waist band, and mostly, I want to see some definition in my arms/shoulders/back. I'll never be a size 2, I have no desire to live with that much discipline. I've got plenty of respect for those who can/do, but it's not for me. I'm looking for a balance between diet, exercise, and still enjoying the foods I love in moderation.

    my first goal weight was 240. i'm in the 240s now and i'm no where near where i'd like to be. my new goal is the 180s. we'll see what it looks like when i get there. I'm hoping i'll get there within a year. i can't imagine being a two (i do wonder what it'd be like) but at this point, i can't even imagine being a 12.. but i'm gonna try. lol. oh, i'm 5'2" btw.

    I'm 5'2" and my goal weight is 150...goal size- an 8 but I may end up smaller bc at 209 I am in a14...I just want to be happy when I look in the Mirror :)
  • I'm 5'5 at 240, and I will be SO excited if I get down to 165-170 again, which was a size 14 to me. That's my pre-marriage & pre-children weight. There's no possible way for me to ever be a size 2. I was nothing but skin and bones (with bones protruding) when I was 145 and a size 10/12! :P I'm excited for you that you're down to 203! That's so exciting & very encouraging for me! Good luck with it all!

    I am one of those girls you are talking about (5'5", SW 165, GW 135). I can assure you that that will not be a size 2 on me! At 142, I am still in 8s. If it was even possible for me to be a size 2 it would have to be sub-120, which was my hs weight at a size 4. Also, I am still "curvy" at this weight (37x29x37) and imagine I will be 7 lb from now.
