About how much does a 5'5" person weigh to be a size 2?


Question:
I am currently 128 lbs., 5'5" and about a size 7-8. I am very dissatisfied with how big I am though and I would like to lose more weight. How much do I need to lose to be a size 2/3 approximately?

Answers:
it depends on MANY things, specially your fat percentage. think of fat as cotton and of muscle as concrete iron. a pound of that iron and a pound of cotton would weight the same, but the volume of each is different. that is why a 200 pounds guy that is all muscle looks much smaller than a guy that is 200 pounds and is mostly fat. so there isnt really an accure answer to this question. it is VERY possible for a 5'5 girl to be 135 pounds and size 2 and a 105 pounds girl to be a size 2 as well, it all depends on your body fat percentages. if you want to get to a size 2 my advice is lift some weights, get a good e-book like "burn the fat, feed the muscle" by tom venuto, do some cardio and change your eating habits, dont diet, lower your calories little by little and not for too long so your metabilism doesn't go down, because if it does, you will get stuck at a certain weight and if you're dieting, and you finish it, all your weight will come back and you will have a lower metabolism and a higher fat percentage. if you have anymore questions you can IM me on yahoo messenger.

a lot of the dress size stuff has to do with the brand you're wearing; they vary by designer. size 2 is usually, like everyone's saying, between 110-120.

I am 5'5" and when I was a size 2 I weighed about 105,,,,,,but that is too skinny.
When I was 110 to 114 I was a size 4-6 and that was skinny but not too bad.
