I did manage it, and, so far, I've yet to plateau. I may switch to maintenance soon, but I'm thinking about losing a few more lbs first. In high school I was 118lbs. My highest weight (earlier this year) was 137lbs. Now I'm at 114. :-)

Almost there, just another 5 pounds. Now if I can just shed body fat and maintain muscle to get around 10% I will be in better shape than when I graduated.

I was obese in high school.... so technically I got it back and then some as I am now smaller than I was then lol

Congrats to you guys!

I am 32 (and a half! ) so I don't think that getting back down to 110 pounds is in the cards for me. Last year I was down to 117 which was wonderful, but this year I am up to around 133. I have put off buying new clothes for a while because I know that would mean buying bigger and not smaller. Really just would like to be under 120, but we will see if I can accomplish that.

I wouldn't worry about age if 110 lbs is appropriate for you height/frame. I'm 37 and a bit thinner than I was in high-school and frankly, in better shape. I maintained around 130-135 in high school, came to MFP at 138 and am now 128. I think I'd like to be 120-125, which I have no doubts is possible if I work toward it. However, I'm not sure it will look good.

ETA: One thing about being older is too thin can be aging. Just something to keep in mind...

I came pretty close. Within 5 lbs but then I gained it all back due to life's unexpected twists and turns. My profile picture is form when I was within about 5 lbs of my goal. Now, back to getting healthy gain. No excuses this time!

My body is actually shaping up to be better than it was in high school. I toggled between fat and skinny fat back then.

Don't let that stop you! I'm the same age and was able to get down to 108 at 5'0" (I was 111 in high school). I eat approximately 2100 calories a day and work out 6 days a week.

Like that answer!

I'm currently 10 pounds heavier than the lightest I was in high school, but I'm also two pants size smaller. I didn't exercise back then, just try to eat nothing. If anything, I feel much healthier and attractive now than I have in my entire life. (Always been somewhat chubby.) Still working on losing, but am pretty proud of myself.

Better than my highschool body at 40! I am 5'2" (almost) and I weigh the same now as I did when I graduated but the weight is in better places now, yay!

I don't think I can get my HS body back unless I whittle myself into a skeleton.

Is it possible that I could have developed my hips/curves in my early 20s???? (My doc said yes, but has this happened to anyone else?) I've SO rounded out since HS. It's not fat it's just...idk curves?

In HS I was a cool 125-130 and was perceived as extremely small by peers (I'm 5'3, very muscular legs). I'm 151 now and see myself as pretty small (size 6). I want to be 145. Losing 15 more lbs to get to 130 seems very impossible and dangerous to me.
I think I had a hormone change and I got hips or something because I don't have a lot of surface fat. That or I've stealthily gained more muscle mass over the years which is keeping me heavy yet small to look at.

I really love my roundness now--feels more womanly (and I used to be made fun of for looking anorexic so my body has come a long way it seems). I don't want to get rid of my curves. I don't want my HS body back actually!!!
