Highest weight how you felt

215. Leg and foot pain. Not too good. Didn't like the way the body looked, either.0

In high school I was at my highest weight of 135. That's when my own parents pointed out I was "a bit chubby". Being only 4'11, every spare lb shows. Every calorie counts. I was ashamed of my weight (still am), and always wore this huge sweater to cover as much of my body as possible. I've managed to drop the sweater, started dressing a bit nicer, but...I'm still extremely insecure. My arms carry that extra weight, you know; the upper halves look disproportionately larger than the lower. So I wear sleeves, even in summer. Hoping I can get past this at some point, move on, not feel burdened by the extra weight.
It all take time and some times that just sucks! But all we can do is keep moving forward and trying our best. Keep up the great work!0 -
159 was my highest and that's when I knew I needed to do something.
But apparently that never really showed on my body. I don't /look/ fat. Just chubby. Or something. I don't know, honestly. haha. I've told friends how much I weigh and they're always surprised. So. I guess I'm lucky in that respect. But I've always had awful self-esteem, so. I felt miserable at that weight.0 -
280 was my absolute highest... i was 41 weeks prego at the time so nothing was comfortable
265 was my long term highest weight and it sucked looking back at it... i just didnt do things cause i felt like people were always watching me... totally vain and self induced but always there... i also felt ashamed of being heavyer the really big guys0 -
My highest weight was 186. I felt horrible, and I almost cried when I saw that number. And the fact that I was smaller even during 3 pregnancies didn't make it any better. So I finally decided I needed to get my tail in gear and lose some weight. I'm currently down 21 lbs. I kind of hit a lull at 12 lbs and started using this app/website and lost another 9 lbs. And I absolutely love it. I think I can hit my goal by the fall. And with the weight coming off I'm starting to feel a lot better about myself. I have confidence in my looks now, and more importantly I have energy to keep up with my kids
Good for you you are doing fantastic! I have the same goal as you to have energy for my 3 boys ( 10, 7, 5) nothing wose than saying sorry mommy doesnt feel well maybe later :brokenheart: heart breaking0 -
My highest weight was 350. I sat down on the toilet and bawled like a baby. Then, two hrs later, I joined MFP. I have lost 8 lbs in 25 days, and have 145 more to go. I will never feel like that again.0

Like awesomeness in a 188lb package.0 -
I am currently at my highest weight (~120) and I do not feel comfortable with myself, due to the fact that the weight gain was caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Oftentimes, I feel disgusted with myself.0

Good for you Im so glad you fould this site it is so encouraging. Great job on the weight loss so far !!! :drinker: Cheers to your journey0 -
191 was my highest. I just wanted to hide. I didn't want anyone looking at me. Everyone said I wasn't fat but I felt fat and uncomfortable in clothes. I never felt pretty and i'm still working on it. I'm only 8 lbs. down and it's going really slow but at least it's going0

when i was 21 i gained 60 lbs in a yr...............i weighed 287 lbs
i couldn't bend down and tie my shoes without all the blood rushing to my face....sometimes when i would bend over.....i would throw up in my mouth a little
i couldn't breathe without labouring after walking from one end of my house to the other
i hurt always
inside and out
i hated myself...avoided mirrors....only wore plain dark clothes with no character
rarely smiled or laughed
never looked anyone in the eye
withdrew from all friendships and social events
came home and ate til i was sick
stopped wearing makeup
cut my hair off like a boys....bc i didn't even feel like a woman anymore
i was just a fat, androgynous........THING
i started therapy for depression....and found out depression was the least of my mental issues
i had some sick skeletons in my closet i was feeding
my body was always full
my heart and soul were starving to death:brokenheart:
during the first 2 years of therapy.....i started recovering my identity....and my beauty
i lost quite a bit of weight(roughly 30 lbs)
then i had a relapse:sick: and became just sick of myself...gained some back
i got angry with myself
showed myself some tough love
that yr i lost 87 lbs in 10 months(putting me around 180)
gained some back after my divorce
and have yo-yo'd ever since
i still fight............but i intend to win................for good................i want to die a victor:bigsmile:0 -

I totally get it. Its not how much you have to lose that is important its about how you feel. Its so frigin hard to choose health when youve been choosing crap for so long, I keep moing forward and trying hard not to look back. I do fall off sometimes like today ugh!! but tomorrow is a new fresh start to be healthy. Cheers to you!!0 -
106kg (233lb)... I felt angry, jealous, ugly, useless, disgusting... but I think most of all I felt like a failure. I am a confident and outgoing person in all aspects of my life, I have always been 100% sure of my intelligence, my abilities and I've always been an overachiever. Even in relation to sport, despite being a bit bigger in high school, I was pretty good at everything and rep in a few things. So to have this one thing that I consistently couldn't do, that I failed at, was really hard. I just couldn't be skinny and I felt like it consumed me and overshadowed absolutely everything else I achieved.
Now I am about 180lb, still not as lean as I would like to be, but I am a very different person. I am really really fit and strong... my weight doesn't overshadow the rest of my life... but that feeling of failure and frustration is still there. Some days I just feel really hard-done by, I train harder and am stronger and fitter than literally every single one of my (non-gym-buddy) friends... but I am still the biggest. I watch what I eat more than them.... but I am still the biggest. Of all the growing and changing I have done, I still care way way too much what other people think of me 0 -
90 lbs at my smallest (anorexic)
227 at my heaviest (post pregnancy weight)
Currently at 179
I suffer from BDD And no matter what weight I am at I struggle with acceptance of myself. But right now I feel STRONG. And I have never felt that way before... It's, refreshing?0 -

8lbs is fantastic!!!! the slower it comes off the better it will stay off. Well thats what Ive been told keep up the fantasic job:)0 -
222 pounds. I felt bloated, miserable, and tired all the time. Currently around 175, with 165 as the ultimate goal, although really, i could give a *kitten*. I've packed on a fair amount of muscle in my legs from running, spinning, and biking, and knocked my waist down to a 32 from a 38, and now wear a medium shirt instead of a x-large. I'm really pretty happy where i'm at right now.0

My highest was a little over 6 weeks ago - 40 weeks pregnant with my fourth child... 5'3" and 189.2 lbs.
Now I'm back in the upper 150s and working my way down again. My normal non-pregnant "high weight" is around 152 and the lowest adult weight I've been at is 127. I hope to get back there one day!
My husband is 6'2" and a beanpole at under 160lbs at all times. It's very frustrating and embarrassing knowing that I weigh more than my husband who is 11" taller than me. :-/ He eats big portions of junk and sits on his butt literally all day and evening. Annoying!
Anyway, I felt helpless as a pregnant lady and scared when I came home to still weigh 173 when we got back from the hospital. Now that I'm in the 150s, I feel much more in control. Overweight, yes... but I have gone down this weight journey path twice before now and know that I can get this stuff done with some focus and exercise.

I don't suffer BDD, but in some ways I can relate to the idea that getting strong can help us see our bodies for what they can do, rather than how they look. Strength training really changed my attitude to my body because all of a sudden I saw a purpose to my build 0 -
150lbs was my heaviest weight, although I may have hit 154lbs at one point (not sure).
I'm 164cm/5"4.5, and have a smallish frame.
I felt lethargic, unattractive, and that it was high time I took a sip of concrete and toughened up.
Yep, that was the point where I decided, "Right. I'm overweight. What am I going to do about it?"0 -

I think changing the way we think of ourselfs is the hardest part. you will get there it takes time for our minds to change. You have done an outstanding job on getting yourself fit the rest will follow 0 -

Yeah, I'm not sure why my body doesn't show the weight. But. I'm not complaining. haha.
I feel a little better now. Honestly, my self-esteem is just so terrible that I still feel miserable at this weight. But not as bad, obviously. I know it'll get better the more progress I make. :]0 -
