    It was three years ago and I was honestly below my goal weight by 10 pounds. 135 is goal weight and I can easily maintain that by eating healthy and not over excerising. Thinking that is my healthy weight for my 30's. Would love to weigh 117 like I did in high school but my body has changed after having two kids.

    135 is my goal (met it today by the way).....last time I was this weight was before my first child, 22 years ago.

    I've been overweight all my adult life and for most of my childhood, so I was probably 13 or 14 y/o.
  • I was 145 lbs back in the summer of 2004. But I didnt drastically gain weight until my first son was born in 2007.

    I have reached my first goal and am now at the weight I was when hubby and I got married.
    For my next goal...hmmm, I guess I haven't seen 135 since I was in nursing school...fifteen years ago.

    So many of us don't remember ever being our ideal weight! That says something! That says a lot. We probably don't remember how to be our ideal weight either.....

    I don't remember being 145.... but that would be ideal.

    Right now I'm just shooting for 165. That's a good start. I was probably that....9 years ago. I have 8 lbs to go.

    My goal is 140, and honestly I don't remember every being that light (obviously I was when I was way younger), but around 5th grade I was already 200 lbs... sooo... 8-9 years ago or more.
  • 2.5 years ago.

    Just over 3 years ago. I was at 155, size 10. VERY good size for me, was back into my pre-preggie clothes (even though I was a few pounds heavier). Then I gained 30lbs of divorce weight, and now I hope to finish losing it. I'd love to lose a little more, but would be VERY happy getting back to 155.

    I think it is interesting that many of us have not been our ideal weight since junior high/middle school.
  • About 3 years ago. 135ish. Closest I got to that again was a year ago when I got down to 144. I'm at 150 today. I used to be 115-120 in high school and it did not look good on me. My head was too big for my body.
  • never.

    honest answer.

    I was probably an OK weight when I was about 20, though I never thought I was an OK weight then.
    That's 25 years ago and I'm probably getting closer to that size again now. Scary!
  • NOW :happy:
  • July 2002.... so almost 10 years ago!

    2007 after I ran a marathon. I looked great but still had an "overweight" BMI.

    I don't recall EVER being at the weight I want to be. I remember for the longest time I was 120 lbs (25 lbs from my current goal) and was constantly trying to lose weight then and that was like... elementary/middle school. It just went up from there :( So I don't think I've ever been at my goal. Definitely not at this height.

    Probably about 6 years ago, 180lbs, but about 10 years ago I was 160lbs with a six pack (I don't envision that again lol).

    i was 23 when i was last at the weight i want to be, so nearly 6 years ago. I've had 2 more children since then. I'd really like to be 10s 10 again but it seems soooooooo far away.
