I was bit of a late bloomer -- I started high school at 4'11" and 95 lbs, and ended it at 5'6" and 170. I was a gymnast until I got too tall, and a swimmer after that, so I was strong, I just ATE all the time. So strong but squishy. Which is pretty much still true. The next year I went on exchange to Denmark and gained more -- I definitely hit 180, maybe higher.

I was about the same weight I am now in HS. In college is where I really bloomed. In my early 20's I got down to 175ish. I worked out 6 days a week and I was in amazing shape. I looked like I weighed a lot less b/c of the muslce I had. That's the lowest I can ever remember being since probably jr. high or so. I would probably be happy to settle in at that weight again. I have been obsessed with reaching a normal BMI, but I have decided that being a healthy person is my number one goal. The rest will fall into place!!

I'm not sure what I weighed in high school. I remember renewing a passport just after college and lying by putting I think 280 on the application. So I was probably well over 300 at that time.

I weighed between 145-165 in HS, but mostly 155. I thought I was huge! I actually got lower then that right out of HS. I was down to 125 which looking back at pictures is WAY to thin for my bone structure. My weight crept up a bit when I started working to around 170-ish I think. Then I had a bought of depression and before I knew it I was 230. Once I started feeling better my weight went down to 190-ish and stayed there till I got married and I gained about 25lbs. That's when I found 3fcs and I'm so glad I did!

I weighed 148-152 during high school. I thought i was so fat...my brothers teased me about my big butt.What they didnt tell me is that was the only part of me that was big. I wore a size 13 bottom and small tops. I thougt i was so heavy because my mom who is 6inches shorter than me weighed 135. I got married right out of high school and started TOPS and starve to loose weight. I bet I didnt eat 300 calories some days...my body has been screwed up ever since!!!!

I was somewhere around 128.

I felt huge - all I remember is that I could not buy clothes at the 5-7-9 shop. Basically because I had curves but back then to wear anything bigger than a 9 was considered big. I don't think kids would even consider misses clothes (even sizes which allows for curves).

I was totally size driven back in those days - now it is just about what fits and looks good.

I was slightly heavier in hs, about 135-140lbs. I had horrible eating habits in hs: I would not eat breakfast or lunch, and then come home at 3pm and binge on frozen pizza. I thought I was heavy then, and I still feel heavy now But at least I eat much healthier and frequently now

I was my current height, 5 6 1/2. I weighed 119 pounds through HS and until I was about 28. I didn't think about what I ate - mostly healthy, balanced meals. When I was full, I couldn't eat another bite. Whether I was halfway through something or only had one more bite on my plate, I just left it there. If I had a packed lunch in HS, I'd eat two sandwiches, but lunch side dishes were limited - don't remember getting things like chips or cookies, just the two sandwiches and maybe an apple. And I'm sure the sandwiches were on white bread! We didn't eat between meals either, except plain white bread or vegetables (carrots, celery) - basically the kind of stuff you'd only eat if you really truly were hungry.

I knew I was thin and was happy to be thin. I seem to remember wearing a size 9 (how could that be?), while my little sister apparantly wore an impossible to find 3 at the time. I do remember the summer after HS when skorts were in having a 9, a 7 and a 5 that all fit. When the Twiggy look was in, I looked like Twiggy, flat chest & all. I look back at pictures now and I feel I looked emaciated.

i was 115 pounds, which is my goal weight now. my best friend at the time was 5'9 and 115 pounds as well and had a bangin' body so i felt fat! i didn't work out except for riding horses and i ate mcdonald's probably too much but my mom was always pretty good about keeping healthy stuff in the house. i'm hoping to go less than 115 when i hit it so i can be toned and fit!

I was between 120 and 125. And I lied on my passport too ... 118. I'm not sure why I thought those few pounds were so important.

I was 130-135 until I started weight lifting, then I was 140-145. I felt huge. I was a size 11, 9 on a good day, and most of my friends were fives. But, I had soccer thighs (SOLID,but big) and hips. I started my first ever real diet (Atkisn anyone?) my senior year and have never flet right since. Looking back, I wasn't big, I was fit! My arms were totally toned, and while I never had a six pack or super toned abs, I was in better shape than any of my friends and nothing jiggled! I would kill for 145 now... though I don't think I'd want to go down to 135 again.

I think I was in the 150s or low 160s in High School. I remember I wore a size 13 in Jordache and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans which were all the rage back then. A size 13 was considered huge. I was the fat girl. It was horrible and I was always so ashamed of myself. Dating was a nightmare and I do remember one boy breaking up with me because of my weight. Even 28 years later I can clearly remember him saying "Maybe if you took care of yourself and lost weight, we could get back together." That hurt. And, believe it or not, he was overweight as well. Boy oh boy did he have a gut on him. I was always going on crazy diets and doing stupid things like wrapping my thighs in Saran wrap to spot reduce.

After high school I dieted myself down to the acceptable weight of 130-140. I stayed there through a lot of diet diligence and exercise until I had my kids (one at 36 and one at 41). After my last I weighed in at 192 six weeks post-partum. I am still working on losing that weight (2 years and counting) and every ounce has been a struggle.

At my highest weight in high school I was 152. I decided I was huge at that weight because my stomach wasn't flat, so I cut out doritos and french fries from my diet and did a lot of sit-ups in the evenings (I think I was up to 200 towards the end there). From those few changes, I got down to 135 pounds in a few months, which was about a size 7, and I looked pretty good, even thought that back then. I wish all I needed to do was stop eating a few things and do a few situps now to lose weight, sheesh! Even then I was eating papa johns pizza for lunch most days and eating a whole box of kraft mac n cheese for dinner...my metabolism was apparently pretty amazing back then I guess! Anyway, I would like to get back to what I was back then, I was still curvy but able to look good in a bikini too. We'll see if I look the same ten years later at that weight!

I was around 110 and thought I was fat! I've always had a slim waist and larger hips and thighs, and my mother thought I had fat legs. My mean aunts called me "Buckets," which was really nasty because they themselves were overweight. When I look at pictures of myself back then, I am amazed that I was so slim and pretty. I thought I was ugly and a blob.
