    Graduated in '82 at a weight of 122lbs and 5'7". Was really skinny, so I starting lifting to gain weight and muscle. Am 5'8" now and (with the exception of the holidays) I hover around 180-185lbs.

    In highschool I got down as low as 105 but that was me probably having borderline if not full-on anorexic eating habits (skipping meals, lying and saying I'd already eaten a lot of food earlier in the day so I wasn't expected to eat much at home, etc, really awful, plus I was taking diet pills). That's slightly underweight for my height, not by much but still.

    I was 115 when I met my husband, 130 when we got married, up to 137 before I got pregnant with my first baby, gained 37 in the pregnancy, lost it all, gained back 20 up to 157, got pregnant with baby #2, gained 37 lbs in the pregnancy again and lost it all again, then gained 8 lbs back and landed at an all-time, unable-to-blame-it-on-pregnancy high of 165, joined MFP and now I'm down to 133. My ultimate goal is 125-ish. I don't want to get crazy skinny again, and I want to have some muscle showing. That'll put me right in the middle of my healthy weight range.

    My senior year of high school I weighed 144 lbs and I was a competitive swimmer/lifted lots of weights etc. - so was not by any means heavy. I hit my heaviest at the end of college at around 185.

    Right now I weigh 135 lbs! And I feel better than ever :)

    When I graduated I was probably around 115-120, I know my license said 115. My highest was 168 at about age 30. I'm down to 142 right now. Would love to get under 130 and then maintain somewhere in that range.

    age 18 -160lbs -- 10% body fat
    Today - 195lbs -- 15% body fat

    Goal: 185 -- 12% body fat

    I want to hold the line at 185lbs, because I am much more muscular now than HS.
