your weight in HIGHSCHOOL

okay so basically, it was suggested that i start a topic to see how some of you felt about yourself and your body image when you were in highschool. appearantly, most people are unhappy with their body-image, especially in highschool. so im curious. how tall were you and how much did you weigh in highschool? and what did you think about it?

I was 5'3'' and about 115 lbs.  I thought I was super overweight.

i was 5'9" and 150, i thought i was fat. i would LOVE to weigh that now

I was (and am) 5'8 and weighed 130 at my lowest. I always thought I was soooooo fat, but when I look at photos now I realize how dismorphic I was. My goal now is to get down to 140. At 130 I looked sick.

Well, as a person who's actually IN High School now, I'm not happy with my body image. I'm only 5'6" and 163 lbs, so I know I need to lose some more.

I'm glad I'm going to fix this problem early in my life instead of later on.

I'm not HUGE by any means, but I'm a realist and I know I'm over weight. Hopefully I'm glad with my body -20 pounds from now, or else I might have some problems :-P

I was 5'11" and ~120 lbs.  I was super skinny, but thought I was HUGE because I grew up in such a small area with girls who were mostly 5'6" and below.  I had a horrible body image & now that I weigh probably close to 145 lbs I feel much better about myself.  :)

I'm still in high school (final year, thank God!) and am unhappy with my appearance. Fortunately, I am slowly beginning to like it a bit better, 'cause I can see a bit of differences and can tell what I need to work on in order to love myself and my body.

But, anyway! I'm about 5'5.5'' (it changes depending on who is measuring me) and the last time I checked I weighed around 140 lbs. I don't want to weigh myself for awhile, 'cause otherwise I'll become obsessed again. I know I'm not huge, but I feel that way. I know I am at a "healthy" weight, but would like to shed some more pounds. And if not, I at least want to tone up/lose inches. My highest weight was this past school year. It ranged from 166 to 170, I'm guessing.

Aebersole, that was my problem too! All my friends was short and could trade clothes with each other and I though that made me fat since I couldn't fit their clothes. Thank God for age and clarity!

5'7" and my weight from the age of 12 went up the same in stones until I was 17 so at 12 I was 12 stone (168lb), 13, 13 stone (182lb) etc up to 17 and 17 stone (238lb). After that it kind of slowed down but in my final year at uni I was 19 stone 1lb (267lb).

I hated the way I looked and got so depressed about it. I used to self harm becuase of hating everything about me. I was never bullied though, I think the person hardest on myself was me.

 Now I'm happy to say that all that is all in the past and I weigh less than I did at age 12 now!

I'm a sophomore.. 5"7 and 117 lbs.. Unhappy about it.

I was 5'7" and weighed about 150 when I graduated.  I always knew I could use a little work but I didn't worry about it because I also knew that I wasn't done growing and developing.  I spent more of my time worrying about my grades than the way I looked which helped me graduate 11th in my class and get me into a private university with a scholarship.

i really wish that i were taller. im only about 5'3". last year in 8th grade i got all the way down to 103lbs. and even then i still thought i was fat. i was a size 0, too. but now...in 9th grade i dont fit into my old size 0 jeans and im too afraid to weigh myself. the thing is, all of you thought you were fat until later in life when you looked back and realized that you were perfect. but that doesnt help me so much, because if everyone there thinks im fat then what does it matter if later on i accept my appearance. i dont care about weight because i want muscle and it flatuates too much. i dont want to obsess over it anymore. i wish i were a size 0 still! :[

i just wish i knew if i were fat. maybe i will post a picture some day and then ask. haha.

i was 5'1" and 110 lbs. very unhappy about my lower belly and thighs. now im the same height, and stuggling to weigh 115. ug. if i knew then, what i know now...

I was 5'3 and 135 lbs in high school. I was by no means obese, but I also suffered from a poor self-image, physically (it's high school, who doesnt!) I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin, but I never really did anything about it. I wasn't lazy and I didn't eat a lot of junk, but I was chubby. I guess my body just likes my fat :D

Despite the poor physical image, I was quite proud of who I was as a person. I think this was the one thing that got me through school without a mental breakdown. I got teased a lot in jr. high, which kind of hit me hard, but I came into my own in high school. I wasn't the most popular kid in school, but I had friends from all of the social "castes". I didn't feel the need to fight to the top the social ladder, I guess.

Everyone (girls in particularly) were in competition with each other to be the prettiest, most popular, blah blah, and a lot of them sacrificed themselves for the sake of it. I watched one of my best friends destroy herself over some silly, warped image of what she thought she should be. I think witnessing that sort of social melee made me realize the craziness that is high school.

I always wondered, with not being the epitome of cute, why I was never without a date (stuffs her ego aside). I remember one of the guys telling me, when I so boldy asked him WHY he would want to go out with me, it was because I carried myself so well. I was confident in who I was, despite if I wasn't physically perfect, and that's what made me so attractive. Who knew ;)

At any rate, I pretty much put all my focus into my studies, figuring it was the best investment in my future. I actually completed my first year of college in highschool, graduated with honors, got into a good college, got a scholarship and went on with life feeling pretty damn good. I think it's not till after one is out of that high school environment do they realize that what you look like in comparison to everyone else really has no bearings on your future (unless you let it affect you negatively).

Ok, I'm done rambling.

also, what size pants were you?

if i were 5'3" and a size...just and example...seven, would you think i was fat, a little chubby, or just right? be honest...id rather be called fat if it were true.

if that's you in your profile picture you look really good, slim and healthy.

I was 150 lbs in high school, the same as I am now, actually.  I definatly have some fat to lose, but in highschool I though I was HUGE.   

I was 5'9" and 125 pounds. I thought I was a cow,  A) because I was taller than everyone; and B) because I was a juniors size 7 and my 5'5" friend was a size 5.

I didn't know at the time that I was WAY too skinny.

5'7" 105lbs

I was a walking bread stick.

Now I got vavavavoom curves :)

okay but what would you say just form the stats and NOT from my picture? that picture is old. its of me when i was in 8th grade. in that picture my stats were 5'2.5" 103lbs.  size 0.

In my senior year, I was 5'7" and 119lbs.  I was pretty happy with it, and wish I could kinda get close to that now.  Oh well!
