How is it possible for someone to be a size 24 and go to a size 2?

Are they cutting women's clothes larger these days? I think I may have worn a size 2 when I was 10 years old! LOL I'm 36 now! I currently wear between a 28/30...down 150 pounds today from my WLS on 07/27/2007...but I have NO hopes of ever reaching a size 2. First, I'm 5' 7", so I think a size 2 would be unhealthy and too thin (if anyone could imagine such a thing...LOL). I'd be happy weighing between 200 and 220 pounds, like I did in high school and being a size 18. I'm very happy with my weight loss of 150 pounds, but I still have between 89 and 119 pounds to go for that goal. And, considering 200-220 is still considered overweight, I'd have to lose another 35-65 to reach my ultimate "goal weight". I am envious of those who started at a size 20+ and are now down to a size 2, but just curious at your height/weight ratio and if you have extra skin or if you had it removed or what. Congrats to those of you who were able to achieve such dramatic results!
