    159.6ib .... im now officially overweight for the first time in my life. On my wedding day, 4 years ago I weighed 133Ibs and never really ever dieted or exercised - i'm not sure what has gone wrong...but there has been a hell a lot of personal stress since that day (I had two miscarriages and now i'm in the middle of a divorce due to my husbands affair) and I think i'm eating for comfort..

    I think the 230lbs I weighed when I was 21. I'm 5'9 so it definitely didn't look good on me!

    198lb @ 5ft 8"
    Worst time of my life. I had just given birth to my baby and she was very very sick. They transfered her to Crumlin Childrens hospital in Dublin (4hrs from home). I had to travel down with her, following behind in my car with my husband. When we got to Crumlin we were told to expect the worst. She had NEC and a PDA (was 5 weeks early). I didn't eat for days then people started bringing me food and I just ate everything in sight. We were there for 8 weeks. The worst time of my life. She was discharged home with us at a tiny 5lb. In and out of hospitals till she was 1yrs old and is now the healthiest and strongest little girl around.
    Weighed myself when she was 6mnths after seeing an awful picture of myself nursing her. 198lb!!! Took my another 6mnths to get to my target weight. Stayed there till I got pregnant again. Only put on 1st with each other pregnancy and lost it after each birth. Struggling to lose this stone though....

    Sorry that turned into a long story lol x

    I was 235 the day I went into labor. I was overweight before I got pregnant and gained 70lbs during pregnancy..a lot due to water retention. I was so swollen. 2 weeks after giving birth I was down to 190, two weeks after that 175. I've been hovering around there since due to low blood glucose problems. I have found a way of eating that stabilizes my blood sugar and allows me to exercise. I am now 168 and hope to be 125-135 eventually.

    216, now 173. Aiming for 151. Sounds a lot for 5'3, but will still be the lightest in my adult life.

    I'm so glad she made it with NEC! I used to work in a NICU and that is so scary.

    Nine years ago today exactly (17-Nov-2005) I weighed in for the first time and discovered I weighed 260lbs. Then I lost 100lbs in a year, and maintained around 160-170lbs until 2012. Unfortunately, I then struggled through 2 serious illnesses, both of which resulted in weight gain due to medication side effects and becoming almost completely housebound for several months on two occasions. I bounced back up to 208 in mid-2013, which was rather upsetting because I'd always hoped never to see 200+ again on the scale, but there was nothing much I could do about it. For the last 18 months I've been either losing or maintaining, depending on my health situation (with a brief period of gaining again due to medication). Right now, however, I'm back at 173lbs and aiming to get back to 160lbs. It's quite slow at the moment, though!

    196.6 (5'9") on May 28 2014. Today (November 17 2014), 161.6... it's really astounding to think back on the things I used to eat without abandon, and the sheer amount of alcohol I'd consume. Both influenced each other, and were vicious perpetrators of non-stop weight gain for me. Terrible.

    175 at 5'4" :( about this time last year.

    Currently at 158.5 and hope one day to get down to 110-130 range, depending how I look. Still about 10lb away from being a healthy BMI.

    Around April this year I was 155, but then had a very stressful house move in which I very nearly ended up homeless (agent for the new place terminated the contract 24hrs before I was due to move in, and only had 5 days left on the lease in the place I was in) and my arthritis started playing up something chronic so I gained 10lb and then maintained around 163-165 for a few months.

    Got myself back in the saddle this month and have lost another 7lb, but still kicking myself that I could be near my goal weight by now if April-October had been okay.

    Just as the title says, what is the heaviest weight you've reached in your whole life?

    Sigh, this one, 160. Not a lot compared to some people's heaviest, but it's a lot for me. Which is why I'm back on MFP, as much as I hate tracking calories/activity. I've gone up 2 sizes over the past 3 years and I can't keep up this crawl; I have to draw the line...and get back into all the gorgeous clothes I bought and then "outgrew"!

    Mine was 230 pounds, but it was due to the birth control that I was on at the time. Once, I got off that, I literally lost 30 pounds within 45 days. My highest not being on it has been 195. I am down to 160. I wanted to originally wanted to go down another 20 pounds, but as I get closer, I will make up my mind then. I have started strength training to help get tones, so that will change how things look.

    Right at 3-bills. I got down to 209, but that's too small for me. I'd like to be around 218-225. Right now, I'm back up to 256. That'll change soon.
