I'm am 5'5 and have been at 133 before at my skinniest. At my highest I've been 206. I was never able to maintain 133 but was able to maintain 143. I hold my weight well, which can be a blessing and a curse. I was size 6 at 143. It totally depends on your body and your level of fitness, not what the scale says.

It is nice to know that I'm not alone with the curse/blessing of holding my weight well. A friend of mine is easily 25 lbs lighter than me but we wear the same size pants. She didn't believe me when I told her how much I weighed...an advantage if your playing the guess your age/weight games at amusement parks. :)

This happened to me once at work. A male co-worker asked me when I was due. He was totally embarrassed when I told him that I wasn't pregnant. I felt bad for him as soon as he realized what a mistake he had made. I had gained weight from being pregnant, but my baby was a toddler at the time. That's the first time I lost…
