I graduated at about 90lbs. I'm just 4'9" so it wasn't too bad though I lost more after graduation.

It's been interesting reading what you all weighed back in H.S. - and where you went (numbers-wise & life-wise) from there.

I don't recall exactly every year, but in general remembering 140-150 lbs - and thinking I was HUGE! I was wearing a size 14 jean, and a medium blouse. Ahhh - to see those days again! {Only without the teenage angst (LOL).} In my senior year, I started dating the "man" (23 y.o.) who would become my 1st husband, who supplied me with the 'tools' to travel down a dark road - anger, pain, doubt, abuse, alcohol, diet pills (probably caffeine) -within three years, I got down to 124 pounds, and looked like the walking dead. Not a good time - I thought I looked so hot...yeah, right...hair like straw, skin lousy, crappy attitude, teeth rotting out of my head...

Got out of that trap, then onto therapy, 12-step, another bad (but not deadly) relationship, then found me. At 27 y.o. & 165 lbs, I met my present husband and finally became truly at peace. Had a couple kids, the highest #'s were 235+ ( I think - didn't dare step on a scale then):(

I am still on this path, but seeing clearly, walking straighter (in body, mind, and most especially, spirit), and listening to the music the Lord shares with me.

When I started HS I was about 220 lbs. By my Senior Yr. I was down to 170 lbs, which I still thought was huge, now I wish I was that "huge" lol. I have always been heavy. Except probably when I was a baby. After that, I've always been heavy and as a kid, I was always outside and running about, so not like I was a couch potato. I just think I probably had PCOS at birth and that affects your Insulin and I just think that I had that against me to begin with. But I could be wrong. I remember as a kid I hardly ever ate out, my mom cooked or I ate at my grandparents house. So I just think its me. For me to lose weight takes like an act of God. When I lost the weight in HS, I hardly ate anything and worked out constantly just to lose 50 lbs! So now with all this extra weight I feel like I am ice skating up a steep hill.........But I know I will get there...............;)

better!
 

i weigh less and look WAY better now than i ever had, even after having 2 kids! thanks to healthy diet and excercise. having a partner (my husband) helps out a lot for support.

In 4th grade I weighed 130, and my doctor told me to go on a diet. Then the parents split up, so that was dashed!
In 6th grade, I moved to 3 schools in the matter of 4 months. (yuck) and from that moment until 10th grade, I weighed 160-165.
All through middle school, I was the UNCOOLEST kid in class-- the band kids would chase me down the street with their instruments and beat me behind the dumpsters--kind of uncool...
In Highschool (granted, I was homeschooled, but I still went to a resource center for homeschoolers :p), I thought I was fat and awkward, and I hated how I looked and felt... Apparently the boys thought differently, as I have been hearing lately I was quite the heartthrob!

Anyhoo- In 10th grade, I got my first serious boyfriend and lost 40lbs... just kinda happened. None of my clothes fit :p 9 months later we broke up, 2 months after that I was back at 165. (I can't help it that grilled cheese and onion rings are my comfort food!)

Then by the end of 12th grade, I weighed 185 (my highest) and that's when I made the choice to do WW. (I still hate looking at my graduation photos..)

So 3 years later, I managed to get back up to 185, and I'm working my way back down! (aiee!)

I have a feeling that I may have a perpetual unhappiness with whatever weight I may be... Just because both times I got up to 185 I was SO uncomfortable and angry all the time...
Then the first time I was skinny, I was in a google-eyed relationship, and still awkward, so I couldn't enjoy it...
And the second time I was skinny, I was mad that I didn't make my real goal (I was 9 pounds away, or something stupid like that).
But now CRAZY want to be down to the 140's where I was!! That would be so great...

Bringing up another thing-- when you get down to a weight, does it ever feel anti-climactic when you get there? Hmm..
I think, for me at least, I don't like looking at pictures from when I was thin, either, because I was still unhappy. I still felt fat and uncomfortable, so that's all I see in my face, even though I see a fairly thin body!
Being a dancer with chunky thighs sucks...


OH! And I have a question for all of you who have said your sizes:
I have been 5'5" since 5th grade, and I weighed 140-160 during that time... I also wore a size 16 pant through middle and most of high school... but now I'm wearing a 10 (at 170ish) ...what's up with that...??????????

how funny my oldest girl was just looking at pics of me ..." mom wow you were so little" ugggg i so wish i would have had someone too slap me silly then. i was 120 size 5 i thought i was soooo fat. but i got real bad with it after i joined the army right after high school i went to boot camp came home and weighed 20 lb more 140 ...i know i know not like i gained fat but i really thought i did the scale should not go up. well diet after diet and three babies later...this time it was not muscle i gained!!! it seems so crazy too look back now i would do anything too be at 140 again...even go threw boot camp again!!!

I had several eating disorders through out high school. This is the main reason I have trouble picking a goal weight.

Freshman- 142 pounds
Sophomore- 97 pounds
Junior- 140-165 pounds
Senior- 144-159 pounds

I weighed about 125lbs... and thought I was so so so fat when I compared myself to the other girls. Today, 125lbs is my goal. And I know for sure that this time around I'll be happy with this weight and I'm done comparing myself to other girls anyway!!!

i was quite slim
