I was 140 in high school. I thought I was HUGE. I look back at pictures now and realize I was in incredible shape! That is my goal weight now and I WILL get back there
I was 150 in high school, and thought I was so big. Compared to all the skinny girls, I suppose I was, but looking back, I looked pretty darn good.
I don't think that number is realistic for me - I've gotten huge boobs and an underactive thyroid in the 20 years since then - so I'm shooting for 160. Although I think the BMI chart is crap, I really want to fall in the "normal" section. Although, after 6 months of hovering around 185, 160 is starting to seem like a pipe dream, too.
I was between 118 and 120 in high school, so other than my bloat from this week I am a pound away. I was in weight training class most of highschool and had bigger boobs then. I honestly like my shape more now, with the exception of my baby pouch and boobs that have gone from melons to lemons. Lol. I think it is posible but for op u r kinda tall, well compared to me so your actual goal sounds much better. I currently fit a shirt I wore on my 18th birthday. Yay. But it's not very stylish.
Ha ha--John--I didn't see The Machinist, and I was trying to think of something nice to say. Like, Wow, you were really, Really lean--were you a runner?! ;-)
"I truly wish I knew way back then that 125-130 for my frame was impossible and would have been happy at the 155ish I probably should have been."

Heck yeah! I remember seeing these girls with tiny frames and thinking because I didn't look like that I was fat. Like I said, I was outta shape... I wanted to be one of those tiny girls. Guess what! I ain't. This is why I DO like some of those real women campaigns and why I'd like to see sportswomen (and not just the tiny ones!!) promoted more. We need to learn to love what our bodies can DO and not just what they look like.
I was 100 pounds in high school. Before when I gained all my weight, I wanted SO bad to be 100 pounds again. But when I look back it, I looked very sick. I had muscle but I was just naturally skinny so there was nothing to me. I would be very happy with 115-120 right now. I feel like that would be a good size for me and I would be happy. No way would I want to be high school weight, but a healthy weight that is semi close to it would make me happy.
hahaha i've been big all my life. I remember that one time I weighed in gym class and was 170 something and I never weighed again until the day I started my journey at 293 pounds!!!! So I want to get below my HS weight for sure lol.
I was around 170 when i graduated and i hope i never ever get back to that weight. I bought into the low-fat craze and had no idea that sleep was good for you; consequently i gained 10 pounds every year in high school. But...my body was tight! Stomach was completely flat, although i've always had thunder thighs and always will. Unfortunately the body just changes with age.
I sure hope so. The skinniest I remember being was 215 pounds in grade 11, and I was still a little pudgy then. I'm probably not destined for very far into Onederland, seeing as I'm a genuinely big boned six footer, but man it would be nice to be back to that sixteen year old weight!
If I do, I hope someone intervenes before I get to that point. I'm 5'10" and at my heaviest weighed 107 in high school. It was thanks to crazy metabolism and I hated being that skinny. People were way meaner about my size than they are now. I'm tentatively aiming for 150 now, but we'll see when I get closer.
Turning back the hands of time to give me my weight in High School would make me 92lbs. That was a great look when I was a teenager but I would not want the Breast size that went with the weight was 28AA I was a very late Bloomer
I certainly hope I can get back to my high school weights - all of them! I weighed 190 freshman year, 138 sophomore year, and 140-150 junior and senior year. My first mini-goal is to get down to 190, then 150, then 135.
But what I'm more interested in getting back from high school isn't my weight, but my fitness level. I lettered in weight lifting all four years, and I'm really looking forward to being healthy and strong again more than anything else.
