Poll: Did you wind up with your high school body?

I was small in high school.  I started to gain weight around age 20.  I am almost 5 years out from Rny, and my weight has settled within about 5 pounds or so from my high school weight.  So, from reading everyone's responses, it seems that nutritionist may be on to something.  Interesting.

it is interesting isn't it? you have done amazingly well, congratulations!

I've been overweight since age 5, so for me I am way smaller than I was in High School.  I actually wore a size 13 - 16 throughout my high school years and today I wear a size 3-7 (depending on make).

Since I weighed in at 220 my junior/senoir year of High School...
I'd say NO WAY!!! I weigh less than I did in the third grade!!! I remember losing 20 lbs. on some diet candy my mother gave me one summer and I went into the Fourth grade at slim 130 lbs. Ha!

Today I'm 126 lbs! BMI 19 something! And at age 46!

The theory is true for me - I'm currently about 5 pounds lighter than in high school.  I went back to my home town last weekend (hardly ever go) for a baby shower and saw some girls from high school.  One of them said, "I knew you'd be beautiful and skinny! You haven't changed a bit!"  I just smiled and thought "if she had only seen me a year ago". 

At 16, I weighed 172 lbs. I was an overweight BMI most of high school, but didn't become obese until after I was married.

My lowest post-RNY weight was 128. I'm currently 138 because I haven't been getting to the gym like I should, but know if I stay on the workouts, I'll be back in the 130-133 range within 3 weeks.

No.

In high school I had curves and especially BOOBS. 

Now I am downright SKINNY (which I have NEVER been in my LIFE - including high school when I was a LITTLE bigger than all the other girls.  When everyone else in high school wore a size 7, I wore a 9.  When everyone else wore a size 9, I wore an 11 or 14.  So I wasn't obese or even really OVERWEIGHT.  But I was a little bigger than all the other girls.

Now I am not bigger than anybody.  In fact, I may be the skinniest person I know.  That would be fine if I had boobs so I looked like I have a shape.  But my boobs are the visual equivalent of 2 eggs nailed to a piece of plywood.

I would be happy with my high school body - not that I'm UNHAPPY now.  I'm HAPPY with what I have now.  I just wish I was a little curvier. 

I gained during pregnancy (18) and am still a good 50lbs heavier than I was in high school.
