Is there anyone on here not looking to be a size 2?

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.

yep

I would never want to be a size 2. I have a friend that is a 0 and it looks like it hurts to be that small. I have always been curvy even when I was a size 8 I had butt, hips and thighs. I don't need to get back to my pre-kids weight but I would like to be a size 12.

Same here. I have the exact same measurements (I think, not exactly sure about bust) and I have clothes from a 0-6. Most of my clothes are in 2's though.

I want to get down to 160 but toned and curvy. I think that should put me at a size 6 or 8.

I'd like to be a size 12.

Unfortunantely I am a size 10 but I am 5'2.5" and it doesn't look good on me. If your taller you probably would look good at 150 but I won't I will still be rolly and have love handles a muffin top and still be considered "overweight" on the BMI calculator. So I am aiming for about 135-140lbs, I am 167 right now.

...meaning i'm 5'5 and my goal weight is along the lines on 175, maybe 170, I see a lot of people on here who are my height and they are starting from 170 and trying to go down to 140-130. I'm not looking to be slim, just a more toned flatter stomach version of me? I always feel like the outsider on here, I feel like I have totally different goals. But I know its great to be different :happy: .

I guess I'm just curious as to who else on MFP has a remain curvy goal? my worst fear is losing too much weight in an area I would not want to lose weight from -_-

I'm 5'5 & I started at 185lbs. My goal is 125lbs, but really it's not ab tht number. I just want to be fit. I have a small frame & carry most of my weight in my belly. So i was have 2 get pretty small to have a flat stomach, cuz that's how my body is. Your body could b totally different, but you can't spot reduce. U can't make u stomach flatten out & keep everything else, it will all go when it goes. Yes you can do ab exercises to tone up, but you wont see that tone until u lose the fat off that area.
They're a LOT of girls on here who don't wanna be that small, so ur def not alone Just kno that ur body will lose where it wants to. You can't really pic & choose. Like 4 me, I have no butt. I could not b a big booty girl even I want to. My body just won't allow it. You just have to be what body u have. If you're a pear shape, there is a big possibility u will lose from ur upper body 1st, so u could have that smaller lower body & bigger lower. But if your not, it might not work that way.
Good luck in reaching your goals tho~!

Hmm...I was wondering this same thing today. I am 5'5'' and 155lbs - currently a size 12. I've been trying to lose weight and get down to a size 6-8 but I'm a busy mom of two and I work full time. It's difficult to be a diligent dieter/exerciser. I'm beginning to feel more comfortable at my current size, especially now that I'm learning how to dress my body properly. Is it ok to be this size and be happy? I still eat semi-healthy and I work out when I can. Is this ok? Or should I continue to strive to be 130 pounds and a size 6?

I'm 5'5, 138lbs size 8. I'm in the healthy range for our height now, but I'm going to go down to where ever it takes 2 get all my fat off lol. I thnk I was ab a 12 when I was 155. You don't have to go to 130 if you dont want too. That's completely up to u. But I think you might should get into the 140s. Sumwhere in the high 140s gives ppl at 5'5 a healthy bmi.

I would be in the hospital if I were a size 2.

I don't know where these strange ideas come from that a size 2 is better than a size 10, or small feet are better than big feet, blonde is better than brunette, or age 25 is better than age 55. If you think about it, it was usually a marketing strategy to sell a certain product.

I will never quietly whisper my shoe size to the sales clerk when shopping for shoes or stop swimming in a pool because of my age. I was once a skinny teenager too and could eat whatever I wanted. Some day those skinny teenagers will be my age and it will take a lot more effort to be fit.

I enjoy My Fitness Pal, going to the gym, exercising like I always have, and eating healthy. If you are leading a healthy lifestyle, you will eventually reach the right size for your height. Enjoy the journey!

I may become a size 2 once I'm done simply because of my stature (4' 10 1/2"). I'm not aiming for it though. I'm not aiming for any particular size. Only to be happy with what I see in the mirror. Not really aiming for a particular weight at this point either.
