I need to join, too. Like you, Sarah, I have a small frame (same ring size and 5'2"), and I've gained about 25 lbs since college (that was quite some time ago - and I was a size 0 then - those were the days). Yeah, it doesn't look good when you are short and have small bones. The fat has no where to spread!  Lol Anyway, I am trying to lose about 10 lbs (110 would be my ideal). I need to get back to exercising (since I LOVE to eat good food). I was running 3-5 miles 4-5 times a week, but I've totally slacked since last August (had a midlife crisis, quit my job, and started law school full time), and have been eating fattening, yummy foods to top it off. Okay, finals are over in a week - back to running and eating healthy foods! Need some motivation!  And, you're right, men don't understand!

And, you're right, men don't understand! we're about the same size!! i'm 5' 1/2" tall and wore a size 0 in high school. then i started gaining a few pounds in college at first, and now i'm up to a size 4/6.  trying to get back to a 2 or 4 would be nice.

Listen to your body.

All this talk of LOW single digit sizes is depressing for me as I've only once been a size 8 and that was in a designer skirt that was probably incorrectly labelled . I'm sllooowwwlllyyy working my way back to regular sized clothing, but barring a North American famine or a diastrous disease will not likely get smaller than a 12 or maybe, if I'm really lucky, a 10. I'm sure you ladies realize that if you're a 00 or even a 0, you don't exist. Last Christmas, I renewed acquaintance with our SIL's niece who last year was a size 4 and obviously present, but this year is a size 0 and definitely hard to find in a crowded room  She says she feels great and since she's beyond parental control, finishing her second year at university, will darn well do as she pleases. So there! Mucho scary!!

Yep, I wear a 4 or 6, but I am striving to get back down to a 2! I do sometimes do the quick weight loss thing - 7-8 lbs in 2-3 weeks. I know that's bad for you, but when I get an idea in my head, I'm impatient - I want it now!!! LOL. That causes injuries, though - my body is getting old. I had a strained or torn pelvic ligament a couple years ago from doing too much at the start - very BAD - I couldn't run for 5 months waiting for it heal.
