    While it is true that our body changes as we get older, I can't see why you shouldn't be able to get to that weight or even lower again!

    I'm just under 5ft3 and was 141 when I started, now 125. I haven't been lighter than this since my teens either (I'm 29 now) but I think it's perfectly possible for me to get to a lower weight than this now. For what it's worth, I know I'm now eating a much healthier diet than I was in my teens, so for that reason alone, it's pefectly possible!

    so true me too!!! im definitely willing to get there and then reassess the situation and see how i feel/look :)

    I'm 39..soon to be 40 in Nov..I was 118 at age 19..I started at 164.2 in Jan and I'm currently 119.7..point is..if I can get pretty much to the weight I was 20 years ago..you can too! Obviously I've had 2 kids so my body shape isn't the same as it was 20 years ago but I prefer the curves I have now compared to then! :) Good luck in reaching your goal..whatever that may be! :)

    Forgot to add..I'm 5'2"

    I can relate :)
    I'm 1.64 (5'3.5''?) and I remember weighing 65 kg (143 lbs) when I was 15, so that was sort of my out-of-reach ultimate-goal, even though i wasn't really thin at that time. I'm 25 now, and I've dropped almost 15 kg down to 64 kg. I eat a lot and exercise moderately, so this weight is definitely maintainable for me. I'm still losing slowly and steadily, so I will probably try to lose a few more kg. It feels good to be able to wear something I haven't worn since I was 14 :)
