Did you always have a weight problem or no?

Hey!

No you are def not the only one. I have never had a problem with my weight. I just ate a little too much this last Christmas season because of family issues. I was not even overweight then. I just wanted to lose that unwanted weight.

My weight problem started with puberty. I was always a skinny child with endless energy. But once I became chubby, I've really always been so.

everytime i went to the doctors i was told to lose weight -even when i was in the normal weight BMI category. I used to think i was fat, now i want to be that size! lol!

No I didnt have a weight problem till I had my son and twins...I use to stay around 125-130...but I gained like all these pounds and back to losing once again. Its just an up and down thing really. lol

I weighed over 9lbs when i was born and have been fat/chubby ever since. I was only about 15-20 over weight as a child but as soon as I got into junior high is just went up, and up....until now

I never had a weight problem until I got married to my current husband. I guess I got comfortable and just started letting myself go. At my peak, I was 240 lbs and just got sick of looking at myself so I started changing things. Then I got pregnant with baby #3 and decided that I was going to take that opportunity to let my inner fat girl show. When I had him, I was 260 lbs and had gestational diabetes. Around then I decided that wasn't going to die of something that I could prevent so I lost 90 lbs and went on my way. Now I'm pregnant with baby #4 and I'm still going to the gym 3 times a week, I watch what I eat, and I'm confident that I'll get back to my pre-pregnancy weight after I have this little tater in 7 more weeks.

Yep

chubby baby, to chubby kid, to pudgy adolescent, to fat teen, to huge adult.

I never had a problem, no. It was pretty much my transition into the military and all my past marital problems that sort of drove me into a 30 lb weight gain. I was just depressed and drank a lot and ate really awful. My first goal was to get back to pre-military weight and I've done it!

My job before the miltiary also had me running around all day on my feet, so I stayed pretty thin and didn't have to watch what I ate. Now it's just one desk job after another until I get out. But I'm glad I got wise now instead of later... I'm sure 10 years from now weight loss would have been even harder. Now fitness and watching what I eat just comes natural to me and I don't see that ever changing.

My situation is the same as yours. I was not heavy as a child but told I was, which I believe contributed to the way I am now. However, things for me have changed a bit, now I have a problem with my thyroid so I think I'll have to be careful the rest of my life now.

Pretty much all my life. Was a skinny toddler/preschooler, had my tonsils out (not sure how this has to do w/ weight), then gained weight. Was literally obese in HS and college (5'3", 185lb at my heaviest). Lost 50lb senior year (by switching from reg coke to diet coke, decreasing snacking and starting to exercise). Have regained weight here and there, now trying to get back down closer to my lowest (courtesy of WW after my first baby) weight of 125, currenlty 133.

Nope, always ate whatever I wanted and it just burned off. Then I hit about 36, got really sick and lost way too much weight (intestinal issue), and gained it back quickly, had another bout two yrs later and gained it back again too quickly and now at
40, have a belly and for the first time in my life am considered overweight according to BMI charts. Very hard to accept but am
figuring either my metabolism got ruined forever from the rapid loss/gain or old age is setting in :mad:

nope, i was always in pretty good shape until about 21, then i began having serious relationships and the time that i normally spent in the gym, was spent on dates and all that stuff. my eating habits have always been terrible so that combined with less and less activity caused my high metabolism to slow down and i gained about 10 lbs a year, over the years it caught up with me

I never had a weight problem until I got depressed and began trying to eat my problems away. That was only a couple years ago and I gained SO much

I wasn't ever really fat but even when I played soccer and ran track and whatever age I was. . I always hated my belly. I wasn't fat but never really had a waist. All my fat went to my belly or core area and I didn't like my shape. I didn't know how to lose weight except for running, but that never changed me enough.

Doing low carb/low sugar PLUS learning how to work out with weights, cables, machines, etc. . THAT changed things for the better. I wish someone taught me that stuff in high school. I learned around age 28.

Nope. I was always thin. When I got married the first time I was about 130 and Im 5 ft. 3.5in. About 2.5 years into my marriage I got pretty unhappy. I was 21 and going to the bars and drinking and eating everything. I got up to 181 by the end of our 5 year marriage. I lost 40 lbs in a month drinking diet pepsi, exercising 2 to 4 hours a day, and smoking. My husband had cheated on me and the marriage was over. I couldn't make myself eat and was really depressed. The working out thing was only an avoidance of our home. I met my current husband in that stage and after a few months of dating and finding I could be happy again, I went up to 150 until I had our son about 2 years after we met. That got me up to 200 lb. Then I lost 20 lbs the right way and was 160 lb, but a size 8 when he finally talked me into getting married. I stayed at 160 until I had my daughter and got back up to 201. She is almost 3 and I have bounced back and forth between 190 and 200. In January, a patient at my office asked me when I was due. I decided to make a change right then and there, lol. Since the end of January I went from just about 200 down to 182 currently. I'd take 160 again, but would love to see if i can get to 140 again just for fun. I don't want to be thin-thin. I love my shapely curves, but I do want to be tight and fit again. I will get there. It will just take a little while.
