I’m almost exactly the same in height and weight and I don’t have an eating disorder, which is what DCUM always says about people with this BMI.

Hi, BMI twin! (I'm the pp). Yeah, I've noticed that. No disorder here either. Just a healthy appreciation for activities that tend to burn calories like crazy (biking, Nordic skiing), no time to idly snack on junk (mom of toddler), and string bean genetics. I used to weigh more like 120-125 but I don't lift anymore.

When I was 5’3’’ 105 I was a size 0. Now I’m 5’4’’ 125 and I’m a size 2.

Which is my these threads are pointless. There are lots of other factors. The size of your frame being a big one— if your hips and shoulders and rob cage are a certain size, it doesn’t matter how much you weigh, you won’t fit in size 0 clothes.

How and where you carry weight matters too. Especially with jeans. A size 24 or 25 jean (roughly approximate to a size 0) will not fit someone who is curvy, even if they have a low weight. Jeans that size will not fit over full hips or a bigger butt, even if you weigh 115 lbs.

Also muscle versus fat matters. And actually, the more muscular, usually the sooner you need to size up. I am usually a size 0 but had a very well developed upper body for a while, and that’s the only time in my life that I bought shirts and dresses in a size 4 or a medium. Women’s clothes are rarely cut to accommodate muscles, especially shoulders/biceps and thighs/calves. Plus muscle is less pliable. With jeans, a little extra flesh can be accommodated with some stretch. Firm muscles need more space if you want to be comfortable and have a full range of motion.

So maybe you simply have a broader frame, or carry your weight in certain places, or are more muscular.

5’5” and I don’t know because I don’t own a scale and don’t care what I weigh. They are just numbers. It truly does not matter.

5'7, 115lbs

5’5.5 , 110-115 lbs varies

When I wore a 0, it was because I was a gangly 15 year old still enduring puberty, or because I was a 5'8" 110 pound 19 year old with a raging eating disorder.

When I last wore a size 00 at 5ft, I was about 90 to 95 lbs. Now I’m at 105 lbs and wear a petite size 0 or a 2 depending on the brand.

Exactly. I'm 5'0" and 95lbs and wear 00 petite and XXS/XS. That being said, why would wearing 00 be that enticing? It's pretty limiting when shopping for clothes. And 00 petite even harder.
