Has anyone else been thin before?

Until I was 7 and I spent most of the summer with neighbors when my grandparents were in a serious auto accident, and my parents spent several weeks four hours away with them at the hospital. My neighbors had "soft" butter, and boy did I eat a lot of bread and butter that summer. I then battled weight issues until I was 45 when my doctor sent me to a nutritionist to try to avoid being put on insulin. It worked.

I was tall and thin growing up, then gained the freshman 75 in college, lost 85 and have since gained back 65. Since college I've been on the diet rollercoaster and I'm back on my way down and intend to stay there.:happy:

Yes. When I was about 11 I weighed 69 pounds. I was like 5'2. It was gross. Then I went off my ADHD meds and peaked at 130 5'5. I'm back on my meds and living healthier and now I'm thin again.. 5'5 114

A couple years ago I got down to 108lbs, but when I got a desk job vs retail I started packing on the pounds. My highest weight was in high school at over 150lbs. It WAS all muscle until I snapped a tendon in my right leg. Then it quickly turned to fat. I'm just over 122lbs now, looking to get down to 112-115. I wouldn't call myself fat either, just added a little extra cushion in case I fall.

I've always struggled with my weight, but when I was 20 years old I lost a bunch and kept it off until this year. I was fit, slim, and looked awesome. Gotta get back to where I was, I felt so good. I'm my own motivation

Not thin exactly, but I always considered by body to be trim and sexy...till I had my son that is. Now I'm fat. But like you I don't really think of myself as fat, but when you put your stats into (for example) Dr. Oz's weight loss challenge and he says you're in pretty serious health dangers, then I got to face facts, I guess I'm fat now! But not for long! Going to friend you, we can support each other to be fit mamas.

Oh yeah. I graduated High school 5'6 and 110 lbs. Could eat anything I wanted and lose weight. THEN I had kids. For some reason no matter how healthy I ate I gained. Takes me a while to lose it too. got down to 125 after my first child and then now with my second I'm down to 130 and I'm pretty happy here. Wish I could get this stupid stomach to go away tho. :grumble:

I was always thin. Could eat whatever I wanted. I weighed maybe 150-160 through high school being 6 foot tall. I started working construction and bulked up to 175 or so. I joined a gym and started working out as well and I remember the owner of the gym telling me I had the genetics to bulk up to 225 to 235 and be very muscular. I laughed and said there was no way I could gain that (I was maybe 180 at the time). I have been as high as 290 so obviously I can be more than that and right now I want to work my way down to 225. After 30 something I could no longer eat/drink what I wanted but still didn't seem "fat" at 210 or so, but I was always working physically or working out if I had a desk job so it was ok.

I used to be quite skinny in high school. Moved away from home for college, gained curves and a butt (finally!) and packed on another 30 lbs. One year after college I'm trying to lose to 30+ pounds. I am considered overweight by 20 pounds.

I am with you. I was 110# and 5'6" through high school, 120# in college, got married had 2 children and was up to 153#. I have been working hard and have lost 18# (should be more but slacking with the holidays) in the past year. I would love to see 125-130# again permanently.

I was always 100 lbs in my teen years up until i had my first son at 19 and the pregnancy weight fell right off quickly, I was 105 a month later. After my second son at 22 I weighed 140 and worked it off down to 115 lbs. I had my third son at 28 and hit 189, now I'm 29 and at 137. Really trying to get to my ideal weight which is 120.

I was slender (5'6", 130 pounds) up until I turned 20 or so and gained about 50 pounds, my metabolism slowed down I think. Its been different having to track what I eat and think about what I eat because before MFP the only thought I gave to food was "what sounds good?" and I had never exercised in my life. It has been a big change but I am glad that I am making it sooner rather than later and I plan to stick with this for life

i was thin as a kid, and then started yo-yoing after puberty. i'd lose the weight and then gain more back each time. when i finally hit 270 in '03, that was it. have been doing my best for a few years now to make sure it does not happen again.

Yes, I was always thin till I hit 30. Then I slowly crept up. I was 95 lbs. as a freshman in high school, 110 at graduation, 117 when I got married and 128 when I got pregnant 6 years after that. Had no problem getting the baby weight off. Then came my 30's.... I was up to 165 by the time my daughter was 4 yrs old!

I was really athletic and actually a solid 20 lbs. underweight until I had my first child at 24. The best I've ever looked was about two months after having said child when I was at 140, and totally ballooned with second child. Now want to get back to 140.
