    I'm not looking for "size 2" status either. I'm 5'2", currently 129 pounds, and for jeans I go back and forth between a size 5 and size 7. I have lost about 7-8 pounds in the last couple months, so I'm kind of back in the size 5, but it's a little tight. The size 7 is definitely loose. I'd like to just be a looser size 5.

    I've put on at least 10 pounds of muscle in the last couple years, between weight-lifting and pole dancing, so my ideal weight has had to increase appropriately along with that. I'd say my ideal weight is around 120.

    Ok I've done some maths and while I still don't know what a size 2 is I can figure out the rest. I'm 5'9" and my goal weight is about 155lbs which should put me back in my size 10's

    I was a size 3 in high school and I never want to be that size again. I looked very unhealthy. I'm looking to be a 8-10, which was my later college year weight. I was very healthy looking at that size.

    I'v never ever been below 180lbs...I think in my adult life..when i was in highschool I was 188....and I wore a 12-14, but later after I got a job..and worked I was a size 8-10 but I weighed about 200lbs then...But the job I had was very physical...and it made me feel good because I worked with a ton of guys and I could do it faster and more efficiently...Even though I couldn't lift as much weight as they could...I don't know, everyone is different but it was nice to be able to wear that size and be able to eat a lot. :) I miss those days!!

    My goal now is to be 160..but I highly doubt I'll be much smaller than a size 8...just not in the cards for me!!

    Bone size/structure is a reality. I don't think I COULD get to a size 2. At my tiniest, 18% bodyfat, I was a size 5 (bottoms... top has never been smaller than a 10/large).

    edit to add: 5'3.75"

    I'm 5'1" and I don't have a "size" in mind - I have a goal weight, and when I reach that weight, whatever that size is, that's where I'll be! :wink: That being said, if I find myself comfortable before reaching that, I'll work on building muscle then! And if I end up being a size 2, I'm ok with that, being a shortie!

    I am definitely not aiming for a 0 or 2. I'm 5'6, 42 years old, and am aiming for 135-140, which puts me a solid size 8. I'd be thrilled to maintain 135 and be fit.

    -I am 5'7.5" and weigh 169 lbs right now and wear a size 14... I would like to wear a "perfect" size 12 and be around 140-145 lbs.. I can't seem to get past the 169 lbs though.. But I won't stop now... I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.. I couldn't do it w/o Him...

    Heck no, I think women look sexier with curvy waists and busts.

    The thing is, though, that some of us have those at size 2. The last time I was a size 2 I wore a 34C or a 32 D (depending on the brand) and had hips at least 10 inches bigger than my waist. I also had thighs bigger than 21 inches each. For petite people, size 2 looks different than those with bigger frames. At 5'5 and140 lbs, I had over 26% body fat. To get my body fat down to the low 20s is probably going to put me into a size 2. I probably won't have a perfectly flat stomach but I'll look leaner and healthy and have some curves. People carry weight differently, and saying that a certain size is "too skinny" is an unfair generalization. For a lot of people a 2 is unrealistically small. For others, it's just the size they happen to be when they get lean.

    I agree. ^^^

    EXACTLY. I'm curvier when I'm thinner (i.e. size 0-2). My waist is more defined in comparison to my small hips. I have about 5 pounds to go and the only measurement that keeps lowering at this point is my waist.

    I'm not looking for a size or a weight. My goal is to be in the best shape of my life. Whatever size that gets me!

    I'm a 4 now. I've been a 2..... it was during a very painful period of my life (divorce!)..... I felt like I might have been too thin....at 5'9". But, I'm pretty happy when my 4s are a little bit loose.

    I'm not determining success by my pants size, I just want to look good again. The smallest size I recall wearing was a 10/12, and I was [unhealthy] skinny at the time. So we'll see where I end up once I hit GW.

    this was kinda funny to me. I'm 5'2" and I'm supposed to weigh I think 115-130. I look sickly at 115!!! I was 115 one time at 4'11" when I was younger and I was too low in weight when I was going through chemo, but I was still a size 8/9!!! So, my goal is around 135-145 which on BMI is still over weight which is crazy but it is what it is. At 145 I would probably be a size 12 and I would be pretty small especially if I get a lot of muscle!

    I'm definitely not looking to be a size 2!!! I've never been that size in my life. I'm pretty sure it's impossible actually. I have curves and I think no matter how healthy I eat or how much I exercise I won't ever be that size. I'm ok with it. I want to look healthy and toned. That's what matters most to me.

    I am 5 foot tall and 187 lbs - my goal is 150 and that would make me still overweight - BUT HAPPY AS HELL!!!!! I just want a single digit pant size - an 8 would be perfect.

    I'm 5'3", but at age 51, I'd like to just get to about 140-145, which on me looks trim and fit, but with some curves. I like having a bust line, but wouldn't mind getting rid of my bottom. I'll probably get to a size 10-12, which is fine for me. It would be nice to wear mediums on top instead of XL, or 2X.
    I think I'm going to have to add some strength training to my regimen. I wouldn't mind having bangin' arms.

    I know right. There are some super thin girls around union sq, east side area where I work and I wonder where they even shop. A lot of stores the smallest sizes are like a 24/00.

    A few years ago, I went to a sample sales place on W. 36th St. www.clothingline.com I couldn't believe how narrowly cut some of the clothing was. If you weren't built like a petite 14 year old, forget it.

    The department stores eliminated their Petites Departments several years ago. Some companies sell petite clothing online, but that's touch-and-go because they all cut clothes differently.

    I think I've been to there before and the clothes definitely were tiny. I usually wear a 2 in other stores but over the 4's were tight and I could just fit the 6's but there weren't many left. Sadly, I didn't find anything I liked anyway :(

    Just curious, how do you define someone of size 2?

    Because many times I don't understand American clothing lines & with my 34" bust, 26" waist & 35" hips, I have clothes sizes from size 0 to size 10 depending on the brand.
