Iā€™m a few pounds less than I was in high schoolā€¦however thatā€™s when I started yoyoing. :grinning:

I am a little over 20lbs heavier than HS. Iā€™m not trying to get down to HS weight since I now carry a lot more muscle. I am going to try on my size 3 (30+ years ago size 3, not todayā€™s) Prom dress at the end of the year! That should be a hoot :joy:. I will NOT be trying to recapture that perm though :scream:

Oh lord - I had a spiral perm :sweat_smile:

Girl! Same, but mine was also short! :woman_facepalming:

I have always been overweight or obese. I was 203 in 8th grade. 170-180 my senior year of high school. Three kids and 25 years later, Iā€™m 197 so I am fairly close.

Which leg are you talking about?

(Frank) #16

This morning I am 1 pound heavier than I was as 14 yr old post pubescent. Iā€™m about 25 lbs lighter than I was as a graduate at 17.

Thereā€™s no way Iā€™m getting to my high school (or college) weight. I was 165 pounds and played the line on a football team (small school). Wanted to be a bodybuilder, so was much stronger then. Years of bodybuilding and other injuries (torn rotator cuffs, back issues) have taken their toll. Also, even with a lot of IF and long term fasting, and low carb/keto, Iā€™m still ā€œobeseā€ by BMI (which, admittedly, is crap, as it does not take muscle mass, body shape, or genetics into account). Iā€™m losing weight and gaining some muscle back, but Iā€™ll never be near my high school/college weight, nor will I ever be ā€œnormalā€ weight per BMI (and when I was younger and more muscular, I was ā€œoverweightā€, even when I could see all the muscles in my quads and all the arteries/veins in my arms).

I was close to my heaviest in HS. 25# less than that now 20 yrs later.

(Connie Ortz) #19

Iā€™m 6 lb heavier than when I graduated, and about 19 heavier than when I got married (my lowest weight as an adult). But I am also the lowest weight I have been since BC (before children). When I realized that none of my kids have ever seen me this size, that was a real eye-opener. They are 30, 29, and 25.

I am at the weight I was during my sophomore year before I dropped about 35 pounds so not exactly the HS goal Iā€™m shooting for - but after losing 93 over the past several years, I am pleased. Iā€™ve shrunken an inch since high school - dang aging! Consequently, I would need to drop another 40 to be where I was and if I could I would be over the moon but my goal weight is less than 30 away.

Same weight, give or take 100 pounds. :blush:

(Keto Travels) #22

End of High School - Thatā€™s my target weight. Not slim exactly, but if I can get to the same weight with less visceral fat and a few more muscles that will be fab ā€¦ still 14kg to go but almost half way there from highest recorded weight

#23

Iā€™m about 10-15 lbs up from high school. But not distributed the same. I was a pretty serious athlete at the time and hadnā€™t yet had two kids! Working on getting near that weight again, but we shall see. . .

(Karen) #24

I weighed 108 in high school. I weigh 155 now. Iā€™m a long ways off

(Vladaar Malane) #25

Interesting topic OP.

I actually dieted my senior year in high school, because I was wrestling.

I remember eating a bowl of diet jello for dinner and chewing gum to spit into a cup.

I wrestled at 140 pound weight class.
I weigh 185 pounds now.

(Stephanie ) #26

I was around 150-ish in high school (iā€™ve always been curvy), and now Iā€™m currently around 157-ish. So Iā€™m close enough :blush:

(Hyperbole- best thing in the universe!) #27

I was 120-130 lb in highscool. My goal now is 140-145, Iā€™m about 5 lb from goal. I feel like I was strong thenā€¦ but 130 now would be to thin for me. So I donā€™t know what the recomposition is, Iā€™m not taller. Boobs slightly bigger but certainly not 10 lb worth. :woman_shrugging:

(Jessica) #28

Oh man. If I had to guess, Iā€™d say Iā€™m currently about 55lbs heavier. I graduated 21 years ago.

(less is more, more or less) #29

Nor I. Did they have scales in the 70ā€™s? That was a LONG time ago.

My pants size is down -2, though, good enough for my purposes.
