    I don't understand what's wrong with being small? I'm a size 0 (at 5'8") and have been from my lowest weight to my highest weight. I know that not everyone can be smaller sizes due to their bone structure but that doesn't mean that people need to discriminate those who can.

    My goal is to be a healthy weight. With my body type, a size 2 is not possible. I'll be thrilled at size 8 to 10!

    I'd really like to be an US size 6. I've never aspired to be a 0 or a 2, personally - at 5'8, I think that would be a bit too thin for me.

    BMI and clothes size are both poor rulers for measuring your goal, in my opinion. I personally have a goal weight and body fat percent and a goal resting heart rate.

    I know! Some of the sizes people say they are sound crazy to me. When I get to the right spot on the BMI scale, I will be a size 14/16 at about 150 pounds (height is 5'8"). I have seen people who are 150 claim to be a size 6 or 8. How could that be?? Are they 10 feet tall? :laugh: :laugh:

    No, they just have less body fat than you do :wink:

    I really doubt that. In my younger years (20s and 30s) I was rail thin at 133 pounds and still wore a size 11/12. This answer, stated as fact, is condescending and baseless, as is the :wink:

    I'd like to echo the OP's who said that being a size 2 doesn't mean you have no curves. I'm a size 2 - never set out to be this size - just happened this way. I've developed some decent curves from weight training. Size doesn't dictate whether you have curves or not.

    I am 5'7 and I just bought pants for work that are a size 2. I was so happy. Last year I was a size 7. I think anybody can be whatever size they want to be, its just depends on how lazy they are. I go to the gym every day and burn at least 800 calories a day on a machine. I still feel I have more to lose cause my boyfriend did point out yesterday, after he told me to flex my stomach while laying by the pool that I do have a 6 pack under a thin layer of fat on my stomach. So close!

    True that! You get out what you put into it

    A comfortable size 8 would do. Even 6. Im a 10 now for the most part.

    I want to be fit not skinny :)
    Amen! Every time I get on the body fat scale and don't see weight and muscle go up I feel like a slacker.
