Answers:
You are to small. You should be at least a size 6 to size 8.
Its not too small. Your fine
Yes!!!!!!
no. that's a relatively good size depending also on your body frame. congratulations on the weight loss enjoy your new and improved body! dont wonder wether that's a good size or not based on what society says, if you feel good, that's all that matters.
idd get up to a 6 or so if i were u.
No, but it depends on a lot. I've noticed sizing on some clothing is getting smaller (eg-I used to wear an 8-10, but now can buy 4-6). Don't know why that is. What is more important is how much body fat you have. Your doctor can tell you whether you are too thin, and it might be a good idea to visit your doctor if you have lost weight without trying. There may be a medical reason for your weight loss.
A size four in American Eagle is not a real size 4. They inflate the sizes to make the fat girls feel good about themselves, so they will buy AE clothes. I wear a 0 there, and I am definitely not a 0. If I buy Levi's I am a 3. Don't worry, you are just fine, as long as you are eating healthy portions of food.
You should be going by your body fat percentage, not your pants size. Or, at the very least, your weight and height.
You may be perfectly healthy at that size, or you may need to gain weight. It all depends on your body composition.
If your mom is really worried, have her take you to get a physical and specifically mention this issue.
I agree with deebeem...
no that's not too small. if you were a zero you'd be too small.
maybe even a 2 too small. 4 is fine.
seriously.
i bet u look awesome!! hehe
uh im 17 and i want to be a 2-4 and i'm also 5'6 so i think you're fine check your bmi tho
