How long have you been overweight?

Off and on since I was 7. I weighed 91 pounds when I was in my oldest brother's wedding. In 7th grade I weighed 225. By the time I was in my late teens/early 20s, I had an eating disorder and at one point my body fat was 7.8% (That is not healthy for a woman of reproductive age and I was not an elite athlete.) Once I got past that I got married and had weighed 150-155 for 2+ years. That's my healthiest weight where I'd like to get back to. I gained weight with each of four kids and the highest non-pregnant adult weight I remember was between kid 3 and kid 4 - 225# again. . I got back down into the 170's before kid 4. I've yo-yoed since he was born and was up to 193 at my June check up.
Even now, I think 193 is healthier for me than 127 ever was, but I am aiming to get to and keep at my healthy weight without becoming a psychologically sick person again. MFP seems to be helping me stay on track and I am feeling way better these days, even at 171 We'll see how I do at maintaining when I get there, but I have a much better attitude about my weight than I used to.

Using a BMI measurement, I was overweight (granted only by a little but still a little) or about 4 years due to a sedentary lifestyle and not watching what I eat. Before that I was always "normal" according to BMI scales. I'm back to "normal" though just barely and I'm trying to get back to where I was before I gained 4 years ago.

I have been overweight off and on for most of my adult life; though recently, it has been the worst.

27 out of 58 years :frown:

I've been right on the border of normal and overweight for as long as I can remember, except for a brief period after a Weight Watchers diet at the end of 8th grade. The only time I was truly very overweight was about two years ago, but it was the wake-up call I needed to change my lifestyle and eating habits. I'm still at the top end of the BMI range.

Since my oldest was born so about 6 years.
