your weight in HIGHSCHOOL


Quote  |  Reply
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?

5'2 95-100 lbs....(EEEEWWWW) Sorry if this might offend someone, but I am Hispanic and I feel a women should have curves.. At that weight I didn't and I felt gross. I am currently 125lbs and feel good but I would love to be down to anywhere between 110-118lbs.

i was 5'5 and 140 pounds...i thought i was huge.  I would love to be back down there again, and I'll get there eventually!

5'8.......well im in my second year of college now but my highest weight in highschool was around 178-179.

I now weigh around 120

 

5'6 and was anywhere btw 130 (VERY thin for me) and 150 (on the heavier side for me).  I have (except for one fat year and one skinny/crappy year) been btw 140 and 150 since then so I guess I'm not that different.

I am, however, way happier w my body now than I was then.  But then again, I workout now (didn't at ALL then), eat healthy, AND I don't spend 8 hours a day next to 15-18 year old girls who don't have hips yet like back in HS. THat was BAD considering I've never been very skinny, and I've always had a shape.

I like this thread!

I was a slooooow grower.  I started high school at 76 lbs.  By todays standards I would have had to use a booster seat in the car  lol

Not great for a date. (or necking)

 

i am 5 foot 4 and weighed 252 lbs in high school.  i wish i had something better to look back on....

I was 5'2.5 and about 115-120 lbs and I thought I was just okay.  I would love to weigh that now of course lol

I was about 5'3 130 in high school. My highest was 152 in sophomore year. (official weigh in too T_T)

I'm currently about 107-108 lbs. My lowest was 104 last sem.

I'm 6'2" now, and I started HS around 260 (and probably closer to 5'11" at the time), dropped to 200, went back up to 289.5 by graduation. I was never happy about it, but at the same time, I was never really devastated by it either, probably because I just wouldn't let myself think about it. I opted out. But this time around is different. For college graduation, I'm going to be at 180. 10 lbs to go!

I'm 5'2", and my senior year in HS I weighed in at a whopping 85 pounds. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. I now weight 110, but it's still weird to look down at myself sometimes and see so much more mass then I'm used to - 25 lbs. looks pretty different.

LOL! I was 200+lbs!

5'7, between 120-125 (usually 125...120 was more if I was sick or something) pounds. I still had some curves on me though, because I have really small bone structure. I was incredibly happy with that!

I was overweight most of high school, then at the end of junior year I did something REALLY STUPID. I was anorexic. Ate less than 300 calories a day. I went from 200 to 120 in about 5 months. I lost hair, looked dull, and couldn't look in the mirror without seeing all the flaws I still hadn't fixed. My parents took me to a doctor, and I found out my white blood count was not even the lowest on the scale. My parents took me to a million doctors, and eventually a child oncologist. That's right. CANCER. They thought I developed leukemia. When the test came clear, (except for the diagnosis of malnutrition) that was it for me. Things got rough with my parents. I moved in with my husband (then boyfriend) and started gaining back. I guess I got too comfortable (I also worked at a resteraunt, and they had....pumpkin pie, white chocolate macadamia cookies, yum! But so bad for you, lol) and am now 19 and 220. I said my wedding day would be my fattest day of my life, and it's true. I've lost about 20 pounds the healthy way!

 

So, I have to say that while I got to my ideal weight in high school, it was miserable and it almost killed me. I try to put all four years behind me, and just live the life I have now without obsessing about being skinny. It will be slow, but at least when I stand up to hug my husband, I won't pass out in his arms.

I currently am in high school. Unfortunately. :(

I weigh 210 and am 5'6".
I was 220 at my highest.

I'm incredibly unhappy with my body image.

Hey! Im fairly new here so im not too familiar with this site but anyway, I am a Freshman in High School and am currently 140 or so at 5'4.5". I am a size 4 as well. I know that seems a lot to be that size but iworkout a lot so it has a lot to do with muscle. I am confident with myself for the most part other than I want to lose a couple vanity pounds.

I used to have a problem with eating and used to be twenty pounds less, which looked horrible on me, just looking at pictures. So Im at least mroe satisfied with myself now than I was before. (:

Eeww.  High School...umm very hard times, I was never popular, but yet I wasn't severly overweight then either.  In high school I was 5'7" 180lbs.  I am not sure what type of bmi that is, but I felt FAT!  I was barely able to fit into an L.E.I. pair of jeans, and couldn't shop in the popular stores. So I felt very fat. 

Even when I could afford it, I still wans't able to buy the 'cool' clothes.  I had very low self esteem and was diagnosed with depression in high school, so pretty unhappy four years.

My last few years of high school I lived on my own, so I ate when I could afford to.  I still didn't loose weight. I would rather be back at my 'fat' 180lbs.  Then where I am now.  At least I didn't have flabs hanging over my underwear.  Discusting vision, I know, sorry.

Probably 5'3 (I'm 5'4 now) and around 200... so, yes, I hated it then and I hate it now (255 from 284 so far...).

I was 5'3" and 90 - 95 pounds. I envied my friends who had boobs,  filled out their jeans and had boyfriends.

I was 5'5" and 150-165 pounds (it fluctuated). I'm stuck at 130 now trying so very hard to get down to 125. Interestingly enough, once I lost weight I went from a B cup straight to a D and started getting my period. At 18.

I don't know how much I weighed (I wasn't fat or thin) and I remember hating my skin and my legs, but I was blessed in not having a group of mates who really idolised body image, we were more a tomboyish pints down by the river and pulling boys (or girls) type crowd. That was at 16, at 14 I was pretty miserable.

I do remember my first bra was a D. At 12. That was not fun. My mum had always been an A cup, so she had no idea! I was wearing a lot of baggy hoodies and living in denial.
