I think I have big bones. I don't think I could ever get to what is considered the 'normal' weight for my height without looking anorexic. When I was in high school and the first years of college, I was a size 6-8 and 170 pounds. So I think maybe 140 pounds will be a 2-4 or something... Which is still in the overweight range for 5'2" But personally, I think I really liked the 6-8 range for me. I looked very good
