5'4".
And you fit into a size 0 to 2. You must be super thin.
At 125 pounds I fit into a size 8
At 115 pounds a size 6
At 105 pounds a size 4 ( as an adult 104 is the lowest my weight has ever been but I was deadly sick looking. )
At 95 pounds I’d fit into a size 2
At 85 pounds I’d fit into a size 0
I’m a bit shorter than 5’7”
But at 125 pounds I could easily fit into designer wear between sizes 4 to 6.
Years a go a friend of mine had a daughter who was a dancer but she was about 4’11 and a size 0 - 2
You must be referring to designer wear sizing I would think.

Keesha--your sizing may be different than American sizes. Not sure, though.
That’s exactly what I’m wondering about.
Imported Designer clothes I have are sized far smaller than say Walmart stuff so weight verses height is a difficult thing to gauge going by clothe size alone since they DO vary so much.

I am, and I absolutely love it. I had an athletic build when I was young, with broader shoulders and very slim hips. I'm back to that shape now.
I can't believe how healthy I am. Even my blood pressure is back to normal. I have to admit, though, that the first few weeks without sugar were pretty difficult - especially after dinner, when my body nagged me for a sweet treat; yet when Lent was over, and I tried to have a piece of cake, it tasted so horribly sweet that I threw it out. I didn't want to never have a dessert again, so I slowly reintroduced small amounts of sugar into my diet. I never crave it anymore, but I like knowing I can have dessert with my family or go for an ice cream with my daughter.If I could give just one piece of advice to people, it would be to watch their sugar consumption.
I’m very athletic also with an extra upper body from doing the breast stroke and average size hips. Finding under garments to fit is a problem since
Since I’ve been active most of my life (except for while in a depression), I’m fairly fit and while I enjoyed being thin, it aged me and I’m only talking 125 pounds. I not sure what size I was when I slipped down to 103 but I was also showing signs of anorexia. My size 8’s were hanging off me but if I were to get to a size 2 to 4, I’d have to be 95 to 105 pounds unless you are talking designer wear.
Sooo are you talking designer sizes or not?
I’m just curious.
Eliminating sugar really does increase health drastically though. Much of our pain and arthritis is due to inflammation caused by too many sugar and starches in our diet. Even mental clarity can be achieved by eliminating sugar. While off sugar for a certain amount of time the body goes into ketosis and starts burning fat as energy instead of glucose. It IS fascinating for sure but it’s become a fad that many are doing dangerously by choosing hydrogenated and unhealthy fats. This is especially dangerous for elderly females since too much of those saturated fats increase estrogen which can lead to cancer. It’s also dangerous for the kidneys if not properly done.

I have only a few designer pieces, but all of my clothes are either a zero or a two. (I had so much fun replacing my wardrobe with form-fitting outfits LOL) My daughter is a personal trainer/nutritionist, so she watches my diet and my weight, plus she coached me on everything from posture to planks. I have actual abs for the first time in my life!
More recently, she got me hooked on avocados and fresh coconut, which - along with nuts and the other foods I mentioned - have stabilized my weight. I have a lot more muscle now than I used to, so I keep my calorie count up around 2,000-2,200 most days.
And since we’ve discussed this I think I’m going to eliminate all my sugar sources. I’ve just poured out my drink and will replace it with hot hater coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. It helps stop cravings and while coconut oil is a saturated far it’s the helpful 12 carbon atom kind which helps decrease bad cholesterol.
You’ve encouraged me to take this more seriously.I really want to lose this extra weight I’ve gained. I’ve lost some but I figure I should easily be able to lose 2 pounds a week if I do this correctly with a more will power. Just because the husband comes home with tasty chocolates doesn’t mean I need to eat them.
I’m a retired nutritionist so I have some formal education however I’m STILL learning new things which is great . Some things I just plain forget so thanks for the inspiration.

oh gosh, I just bought a box of brownie mix......
For the record, I’m NOT on this One Meal A Day diet. I love food far too much but I do wish to lose 20bs so am going to go serious low carb until I lose them so I can enjoy Christmas treats with having that New Years regret.
Besides there’s low carb desserts I’m going to learn to make like ....

That's great! Two pounds a week is a good pace. I tried to do it slower, but once the sugar was out of my system, the pounds pretty much melted away. Let us know how it goes for you.And since we’ve discussed this I think I’m going to eliminate all my sugar sources.

Yeah, I would never do the OMAD. I love eating. Especially breakfast.
Tonight I made some low carb chocolate pudding from coconut milk, agave syrup, avocado, baking cocoa powder , coffee & cinnamon. I first whipped it in the blender and then cooked it on the stove.
It was topped with crushed walnuts and was actually very tasty.
This is exciting.

Recipe or link? Can I substitute the agave syrup, doubt I would use it much, would real maple syrup work?
Sure let me get the link. I’m sure substitutes will work. It didn’t call for agave syrup. That was MY substitute. Here you go.

When I really want a dessert, but it's not time for my cheat meal, I put 1 cup of blueberries in a small baking cup, top it with chopped walnuts and a tablespoon of oatmeal, then bake it for 25 minutes. It's delicious.
It's a lot of fun to come up with healthy alternatives, isn't it?
YES. The thing is I was a perfectly happy camper on the Paleo diet which is ALL low carb and SUPER healthy plus the recipe archive is outstanding. I just got side tracked and lost focus. I’m happy to get back on track again. In fact I’m going to start a low carb category somewhere here.

Hmmm, it does sound delicious. I think I need to stop reading this thread, I'm past my ''eating window''.
