Just curious, for those brave enough to post their stats....what did you weight dripping wet in high school and what do you weigh now...height is a factor too, include that if you're really brave.
...and I guess the key to this is when did you graduate from high school...because if you say you weighed 150 lbs then, and 155 now - but you graduated only last year, then you're really not that impressive...hehehe.
Graduated: 1979 Weight then: 155 (EDIT - i was on the skinny side then though.) Weight now: 209 Height then: 6' Height now: 5' 11 1/2"
How did the weight distribute itself: kinda everywhere pretty evenly....thank goodness it didn't all go to my nose.

Graduated in 1984 Height: 5'4" Weight: 84lbs (nope, not even remotely healthy)
22 years later - 130lb
I wouldn't mind losing 5 lbs but over all I'm a good weight for my height and am lucky enough to have a good metabolism. I can pretty much eat anything I want and don't exercise.

Well, when I started high school, I was 4'-8" and weighed 80 lbs. I was the smallest kid in the school--being the youngest there might have contributed in some way as well.
I didn't get hazed until I was a junior--that was when I finally appeared big enough to be a freshman. During my junior and senior years, I grew a foot (had to have it amputated--it looked funny) and graduated on my 17th birthday in 1969 at 5'-8" and 140 lb.
In the 37 years since then, I've grown 1-1/2" vertically and more than I wish horizontally.
For thirty years out of high school, my brother weighed the same as when he graduated. He says it was arranged differently, the triangle shape he sported got inverted.

5' -10 1/2" since the age of 14. Grade twelve weight 143.
Today, 1" shorter that my youngest son who is almost 6'.
Weight at 43 years old. 176. It's slowing down my running somewhat, other than that...

I graduated way back in 1971... and was 5' 9" 115 lbs
I kept growing until I was 24.
It was Janis' great cooking that finally allowed me to put on a little weight over the years... and I stablized at about 165 - 170. Height wise I topped out at 5' 11 1/2" in my mid twenties but have since settled to about 5' 11 " or so.

In High school (1978), I was about 6'2", 165 lbs, thin as a rail, frightfully thin by most people's standards. But considering how much drugs, booze and cigarettes I used, that's no surprise. Stayed that way for years. Right around '87 or '88, the Lord gave me a new life, I soon got married to an awesome cook, and shot up to 270 lbs.
Stayed that way till recently. Started getting tired of all that weight on my joints, paid more attention to what I ate and when. Lost maybe 20 lbs. Then, my oldest son entered the 'teenage' years. I have SUCH A HARD TIME dealing with people that are irrational, illogical, unreasonable, etc, and now there's one LIVING IN my house!! I so much keep thinking of making a huge banner with the copy from the bumper sticker: "Quick! Hire a teenager while they still know it all!"
Anyway, I starting on a milder form of fasting, what I call 'no treat days'. It helps remind me to be in prayer about my son. Yeah, I'm losing more weight, but more important, I'm learnig to put a lid on the anger, and even hug the kid when He reminds me to. And it's working (cue the hallelujah music)

I graduated in '94, 5'10 and probably about 220lbs (I still have my driver's license from then and the weight says 210 which I think I lied about hahaha).
I'm still 5'10" but 250lbs, smaller in size (more muscle) and in better shape. Of course at one point between then and now I was over 100lbs over my graduation weight.

In highschool I was about 5'6" and weighed in the neighbourhood of 125 lbs. I worked as an instructor at a health club, and kept active swimming and biking also, so I was in pretty good shape.
Now, I'm still the same height, and weight in the neibourhood of 135 lbs. Still keeping active.
I've always had a small waist and flat tummy, but my weight likes to park it in my thighs and hips, so I try to keep tabs on that by doing alot of walking, joggin type exercise. Squats and lunges at the gym.
If only alittle weight could distribute itself in the boobs to balance things out abit better.
Just wondering what everyone's highest weight EVER was? (Including pregnancy weight, for the gals.)
My highest weight ever was around 156 lbs. Ironically, it was around the time I started using the computer, and in the midst of the frustrating learning curves with it. Lots of sitting, grimmacing, and consoling my nerves with stuff like brownies from 7-11.

lets see...graduated in 82...was 5'8" and weighed about 125 lbs..i was skinny for my frame.
today i'm still the same height...but now i'm 149 lbs...definitely could lose another 10 lbs. the fattest i got was 171 at freds meet (he had a bathroom scale in his bathroom) i almost choked when i saw that needle at the 170 mark...i made everyone go in and weigh themselves to make sure it wasn't heavy....it was me that was heavy. lol!
i'm fairly active and do weight train...but there's always room for improvement.
i have no shame.

The heaviest I ever weighed was about six months ago at 178 lbs. It all went to my gut. I had heard guys joking that it had been years since they saw thier pecker and .......well I got serious! Diet and running three miles, three times a week at the Y did the trick.

Still roughly the same weight. It's only the distribution that's changed.

Now same height around 150. Never been able to lose the baby weight especially in the tummy.
Highest weight 199 two days before giving birth. I gained 60 lbs. when I was pregnant which I'm sure contributes to my inability to lose the baby fat!!
