    Gender: Female
    Highest Weight: 345lbs

    BMI Ideal: 165-170


    I've always managed to carry weight well, even at my highest weight I still had a waist. I've moved back and forth between sedentary and extremely active lifestyles. I used to be a competitive Martial Artist and Acrobat, during those years my weight would be between 180-210lbs depending on the training demands of the season. In the military my weight was between 168-182lbs depending on whether I was deployed or not. When I was bulimic I was between 206-215lbs and I restricted my calorie intake to under 900cal/day, mean average 600cal/day (I still have the diary I kept), and purged whatever I ate. When my athletic career ended due to multiple spinal fractures from a wipe out doing a back hand spring in a tumbling run I shot up to what was my previously highest weight of 260lbs. I became bulimic during my Undergraduate Degree but stopped after about 2 1/2 years. I wouldn't get on a scale or be around people that counted calories because I was afraid of getting sick again. It wasn't until the summer of 2012 that I got on a scale in our clinic and saw I was 345lbs. I had also become borderline hypertensive and was getting winded easily.

    I am aiming for 215-220 because I think that is realistic for me. My focus has been on working with my physical therapist to develop muscle strength as I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2010 and have had balance problems. I was 280-285lbs consistently for several months prior to suddenly hitting 298lbs a few days ago. I decided then to look for a support site and get some empirical data about my nutrition. I found this place!

    I will abandon my goals if I become Bulimic or Calorie-Counting obsessed again. I would rather be fat and mentally healthy than go through that again. But I want my vital signs and biochemical scores to be within acceptable ranges. Currently they are. My BP is usually 120/88 mmHg though it does elevate when I am using dextroamphetamines, which I do rarely. I am tachycardic (Pulse >100 BPM) almost all the time, but I suspect this is due mostly to smoking. So I have Non-Weight specific health goals as well.

    Maintain a healthy Blood Pressure (I take it multiple times a week)
    Get a resting pulse of appx 80 (assuming I continue to smoke)
    Maintain or improve all of my other Chemical Measures, such as insulin and blood glucose.I had started to notice acathosis nigricans discolourments on the back and sides of my neck when I was over 310lbs. This has gone away but since it indicates insulin resistance I want to get down to avoid developing Type-2 Diabetes.

    5'1, age 36, female

    Highest weight 172 being pregnant, not being pregnant 160-165

    Current weight 140

    Lowest weight 110-115

    Goal weight 125-130

    BMI Ideal 105-110 which is not so attainable for me and I don't think I would be or look healthy with my weight that low. unlike the previous poster, I tend to not have a waist and bloat easily after eating.

    I'm 5'5, and 23 years old. The past 5 years have been full of weight fluctuations, some medical, some from stressful semesters, some because I was lazy.

    My Highest weight was 189. 60 pounds of which were gained in 5 months, due to medical issues. I steadily lost much of the weight and averaged around 150 for a while.

    I recently got back from a study abroad in Italy. All that walking and healthy food left me 30 lbs lighter, and feeling healthier than I had since high school. I've recently gained back a good portion of that :-( and am now 130. Looking to get back to the healthy state I was in!

    My lowest weight was 115 in my Junior year of High School. I was an irish dancer and couldn't keep weight on me for long!

    I think this is the lightest I've ever been....well, since I was 12 or so.
    When they weighed me when I was 12, I was 5'5" and 135. I'm guessing I had a lot of muscle then, since I had P.E. and everything and was constantly outrunning most people (even 98% of the boys or so).

    Now I'm nearly 5'7" and 117. I'm guessing I got down that far due to having to live very cheaply in December-January, so I ate few calories. Most people would say my weight goal isn't a good thing to aim for at all, but it's not all that extreme. It's still healthy, and I wouldn't possibly want to lose anymore than that.

    EDIT: Oh, and I'm 19 -__-
