    I'm just over 5'3" and was 105lbs in high school (called secondary school here). No way could I get down to that again, The food is sooo much better now, I don't live in a freezing house & I don't have teen metabolism any more! I wouldn't go back to that, even to be 105lbs again - it was a pretty grim lifestyle for most people right up 'til the late 60's in GB.

    High School.... my girlfriends and I always talked about how we were crazy to think we were "FAT". I'm 5'10" and on graduation day, weighed in at 155. Do I want to be that thin again, yes and no. Right now I'm shooting for a goal weight of 170 and will see at that point if I need to trim down more. My doctor says 175 is a good weight, but of course we want a little "wiggle room".

    Senior year I weighed between 112 and 117 and I am a tad shy of 5'6". Now twenty plus years later and two kids I am 125 with my goal being between 118 and 123...Almost there!!

    I'm 5'6 and a half I was 250ish in high school. My smallest weight ever 222 I reached on my first diet in the 8th grade( I wasn't my full height then so I was still a size 18. The same size I was at 250 in high school) I am now 285 or lower( my weigh-in is tomorrow). My goal is be to get back to my high school weight this summer when I graduate from nursing school and to next year 2012 surpass my all time lowest weight. My ultimate goal is 165. I figure it will take between 3- 5 years to reach it.

    I wrestled 102 lbs in 10th and 11th grade. I'm now 5'10" and weigh 177 (down 10 lbs).

    I didn't realize how skinny I must have been until I measured my 15 year old daughter's height and weight the other day. She's very fit, 5'5" and 125 lbs. Amazing how much our weigh can change once "we're grown up".

    In high school I weighed 110 and I'm 5'8"! After I had my first daughter, I dropped back down to 113 and then a few years later I had twin girls and never did I see those low numbers again. Looking back at pics of myself, I would never again want to be that thin. I don't really know why I was...I ate anything I wanted. I must have just really good metabolism bach then. I will be thrilled if I can get to 140'ish!

    I was 117 in high school. I would like to be around there again, I am at 120 or so right now, but just have the ugh around the middle...so, whatever I end up to get rid of that, I will be happy. :)

    I weighed 80-95 in high school. I was always underweight until my 31 birthday. Then I got sick and was on prednisone for several months. Whammo. I never wanna be that skinny again. 130 is my goal and daily exercise.

    I was about 110 in high school but I wasn't healthy. I took ephedrine and really didn't eat much at all. Today at 145 I am healthy and can do so much more than when I was a twig. I would like to get to 130.

    I was pretty skinny in high school. When I graduated, I weighed 108 lbs and I was also 5' 7 1/2" tall. Back then, I was also participating in sports too (mostly softball and soccer) so I was quite active.

    During college, I grew 2.5 inches (I'm now 5' 10").

    When I graduated, I was 130. I am the largest I have ever been at 185 lbs. I am supposed to be between 140-165. lol. I would like to be 140. I like being a size 4 opposed to a size 12.

    I was about 150 lbs (5'11") in high school - about 250 now. Hope to split the difference at around 195-200.

    I'm 5'7" and large framed. I weighed 125 when I graduated from high school - and looking back at my photos I was too thin. I'm now aiming for a healthy and strong 150.

    Freshman year I was 132 (and I thought I was Fat!) By senior year I was around 150.

    Ultimately I want to be 135. But I will settle for 150 by summer.

    I weighed 129 in high school. Yes, exactly 129. Never gained no matter how I ate. I'm now 203, my highest weight was about 220. I'm initially aiming for 160, would like to eventually get down to 150, and then we'll see how I feel about going any lower.

    A few years ago I managed to get down to 160, and I was exercising a lot, so I was down to a size 8 and felt and looked great! I'll never get down to 130 again, at least not and maintain it! Plus I liked how I looked better when I was building some muscle, and I had no muscle in high school. That adds some weight. :)

    I weighed 118lbs when I started high school...I did soccer/dance/tkd so it was all muscle and I was a size 0-1 I think? i'm not sure as I wasn't really into clothes at that age. I just wore whatever fit! Personally 118 still seems too much for my 5'3" tiny bone structure body.

    I was a twig , about 100-110 lbs, through high school, graduated in 1990, and weighed little less through college. Inched up to nearly 120 when I was about 26, broke up with my then boyfriend, dropped back down to 103. Got over him. Went up to about 125 and realized I looked way better than when I was super skinny. Fell in love and got married. Discovered the joys of Ranch dressing. Gained weight. Developed a jaw problem and couldn't eat normally for 18 months, lost weight. Got my jaw problems managed and made up for lost time when I couldn't eat. Gained weight. Got a dog - my exercise buddy - and my geriatric got very sick so I spent all my spare time, before she died, coaxing her to eat, and lost weight. In late 2008, I lost my Mom. In early 2009 I lost my job. In early 2010, I lost my Dad. And during all this, kinda lost my mind. Started to get back on track, and in October, one of my cats - a healthy 2 year old - suddenly died. Lost my mind again. Went on a eating binge. Gained 10 pounds above my top weight. Got angry. Decided to do something about it... and about 4 weeks later, here I am. Five pounds down.

    I wouldn't want to be as thin as I was in high school. I looked like a bobble-head! But I was happy with how I looked at the time, and I was in good shape because I roller skated for hours & hours every weekend. I'd like to be that fit and happy again, just not that bony.

    My weight in highschool was anywhere between 190 and 220. My highest was 290 and I"m currently about 240. My goal is to get around 170 so a little lower than in high school.....I have never ever been a skinny person, but anything around 200 suited me
