College weight?

gnat45

Just curious. How much did you weigh when you started college, after your first year, when you graduated, and now?

107-110, 120, 135-140, 142

Graduated HS at 165 and in very good shape.
During Fresh and Soph years of college, I got up to 188 (that I *know* of)....
Jr/SR year got down to 170ish.

I've kept the weight off since then (for about 7 years now)...I weigh 165 now. I gained about 20 pounds during my pregnancy. But that's the only time I've had significant weight gain.

Trying to lose about 10 more and reevaluate. Or maybe not lose any at all at this point, maybe just lower body fat percentage.

I actually never gained weight during college until I met my boyfriend my junior year (which is why I'm at my highest weight EVER right now, ugh). During summers I usually lost weight as well.

So I didn't weigh myself before I started, so I don't know what my weight was.
But my junior year I finally stepped on a scale and to my horror was 204.
Didn't weigh myself again until this January (halfway through my first year of law school), and was 212.
Now my 1L year is done, and I am down to 177!!!

I'm thinking I haven't weighed this little since about high school, or just a little bit after it.

When I started college, I weighed approximately 120. At the end of my freshman year, I was down to about 105. When I graduated, I was back up to 120. Flash forward 6 years and I was up to 168. I made my way back down to 128 but am now struggling again at 142. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I am only 5'2" and have a slender frame so a little weight gained really shows.

We're the same size. Welcome to MFP.

Where are you from? "College" can mean secondary school in the UK or it can mean university in the US. I live in the US, so I'll just tell you what about my university experience:

When I started, I weighed 133 lbs. I gained like 6 lbs my first semester, but worked hard my second semester to get it back off, so I think I weighed like 134 after my first year. I actually weighed 128 when I graduated because I had been in a boot camp and had been logging everything I ate for the few months preceding my ceremony. (I gained the weight back and then some pretty quickly, btw.) It's been a little over a year since I graduated and I now weigh 143.5 lbs, Before now, I never weighed more than 139 and even that was a huge number for me. My goal weight is 133. I don't feel ugly or fat or whatever at my current weight, but I want to get back to my normal weight because I believe weight gain has a "snowball effect." If I say this current weight gain is okay and then I gain a few more lbs and say those are fine too, and then I gain a few more and let those slide as well...well, the snowball just gets bigger and bigger as it rolls down the hill. I would rather just continually re-evaluate and get myself back to 133.

I was talking about US. I didn't know college meant secondary school in the UK.

Guessing: 232, 240, 199, 250 (my highest, 226 now) I lost a lot of weight my last years of college when I was walking a mile to and from class multiple times a day (in the snow...)

Elzecat

when I started...probably between 140-150...
after the 1st year 150-155...
2nd year I started working at a gym...I stayed between 150-155 until I went to graduate school at age 28...then I gained about 10-15 lbs...lost that very quickly by working out a ton...came back home to Colorado and got very lazy and sedentary (and ate out all the time)...between 2000 and 2002 I gained probably 60 pounds...my highest weight ever was about 225 in 2004...

at 41, I am now back down to 168 and working on getting back to 155-160...

kacarter1017

rileysowner

No idea but my lowest was about 190 my highest about 215-220. It was a long time ago though. Right now I weigh less than I ever did it college, closer to my highschool weight.

christine24t

Started college - didn't weigh myself, but I'm guessing I was about 185-190 (judging on how the same clothes fit now)
Start of second semester junior year- 210
now (will be a college senior) - 177

elliecolorado

About 165-170 when I started and was really muscular and in great shape after playing soccer & volleyball through high school. After my freshman year I'd guess probably 20lbs higher maybe around 190. After college about 225 drank WAAAAYYYY too much in college and gained tons of weight. High weight in mid-March of this year was 265. Now I am at 223 and wanna get back to 165 and be as muscular and in shape as I was when I graduated high school.

kristydi

Went to college weighing around 135-140 and in very good shape. Stopped playing volleyball after my freshman year (had been on scholarship, but the program imploded and I transferred) and slowly started gaining weight. Weighed around 160 by the end of college.

6 years later at the very beginning of my pregnancy I weighed around 185-190.

Now, 3 years after giving birth, I'm 206.

rybo

I ran track the 1st 3 years of college.
Started probably low 160's, and stayed there, maybe gaining a litte bit to 165-167 by my jr year just from lifting a bit more.
Transfered schools, dropped track & pounded the weights. When I graduated I was a solid 180.
after graduation I held 180-185 mostly, with a brief excursion to 196.
Right now I am down to 170 where I plan to stay.
