    When I was a 2-sport athlete and dancer at 16, I was 176 at 5'8.

    I wore a size 12 (misses) or 13/14 (juniors) and I thought I was hideously fat. (Probably not helped by my doctor telling me I should lose weight, that a teenaged girl my height should weigh 125, 130 tops... even though 176 is not hugely overweight and I was/am both very muscular and large-framed!) I struggled pretty seriously with eating disorders (exercise bulimia and anorexia) for a couple of years, but I never got smaller than about 160 no matter what I did, and when I started eating "normally" again, my metabolism was pretty ****ed up.

    My highest weight (that I know of) was 281 a year ago, and I've now gotten down to 231, give or take a few pounds of fluctuation. I'm aiming for 175 again, because I was actually perfectly healthy there, regardless of what my stupid doctor said!

    High school weight; 97lbs
    Current weight; 141lbs

    44 pounds, but I had a eating disorder so never want to get back to that weight ever again.

    In high school (many moons ago) I weighed between 110-118.

    These days, I fluctuate between 105-110 (107.5 this morning).

    Thanks to vanity sizing I have gone from a size 5/6 (when I weighed 110 in college) to a size 0 today.

    I am 5'2.75" (Yes those fractions matter.)

    I was always under 100 lbs. in HS, but I did not fill out until after I had babies. I'm currently 180. The weight when I looked best was about 110-120 (5'2" tall). Because I'm building muscle as well as losing fat, I'm aiming for about 125-130.

    So when I graduated from high school 32 years ago I was 5' 6" and 123 - I currently weight 128 - Not too bad - one child and a lifetime of healthy food choices and working out regularly. It has not always been easy. I have to work at it. I just always strive to stay healthy.

    I was 120 in High School. I'm 140 now. My highest was 162, and I really didn't look like myself. I'd be happy with 125 to 130, though, I'm not dead set on getting exactly back to 120.

    I was probably pushing close to 190-200 when I graduated. 154 now. I'm in the best shape of my life and the lightest weight I can ever remember in probably 20+ years.

    In high school at my lowest point I weighed 136 pounds, I believe. And I thought I was fat! Which is sad, because I really, really wasn't. Now I weigh 183 pounds. 47 pounds difference! That's actually crazy. I'd love to get down there again but I think I was really not eating enough for my height, I was hungry all the time and I think I was underweight. I would be really happy at 150 pounds.

    HS grad weight was 165 with a 32 in waist

    I'm now 195 with a 32 in waist. I'm a lot stronger now and an inch taller than I was then and have no intention of returning to 165. I do want to stay between 180 - 185 once I get there.

    Good luck with your change to a healthy lifestyle and meeting your objectives!! :)

    When I was a senior in high school I weight about 140. Last weight, 134.8. It took a lot of work to get there because I started to really take notice of my weight at 195.

    125lbs all throughout high school and until about 28ish (fluctuated a bit down as low as 115 as an adult). I am currently 140lbs and 2 years post baby, reaching for that goal again now.

    HS (1985): 150
    College: 160
    CW: 160

    HS would be too skinny now (although my BF% would tell you otherwise). I have no desire to be that low and am pretty happy at 47 being at my college weight. Currently trying to change my BF% by going through my first bulk & cut process.

    High School I was 118 lbs. I was super skinny and was made fun of.
    Now I am 177 lbs. I still look good in my clothes but I will be content at 150 lbs.

    my high school weight was 123lb (i.e. 56kg, the judo weight category I fought in, which was too light and I should have been fighting in a higher category, but that's a whole other story)

    my lean body mass is currently 107lb..... If I keep all my LBM and weigh 123lb, then I'd be at around 13% body fat. While this amount of body fat looks great on female bodybuilders, I prefer for myself to be around 23-25% body fat. So there is *no way* I'm going to try to be my old high school weight.

    In my life I've always been strongest around 140lb. That's where I'll be staying unless I manage to gain more lean body mass in which case I'll be getting somewhat heavier and a hopefully a lot stronger.

    I was 115 lbs when I graduated from HS. I'm currently 172-ish lbs. Yikes!

    CW: 128

    I'm actually looking to go below HS weight because I was very muscular/athletic in HS, and I doubt I will ever be that muscular again. I'm going to try to get to what I estimate my HS body fat % to be, which was probably around 18%. I am at around 22% right now - wish me luck!

    Anyone feel free to add me as a friend, especially if you have similar goals to me.
