Get back to us in 10 years.

Genetics are real. I am 49 and weigh 134 at 5'7. I am perimenopausal, to boot. My mother is still slim, as well.

Stay thin stay married

(I'm a size 4 and I would say a lot of coworkers are around my size.)

I'm in Alexandria. Most of my colleagues (well, last time I saw them was pre-COVID) are females who are of a healthy BMI.

Well today is our 14 year anniversary.

About 108 lbs when we got married and 14 years and 3 kids later, about 126 lbs last time I weighed myself.

126 is actually “low” for me - I gained about 25 lbs post 3 kids (about 8 lbs for each kid that I never lost after the baby was born) but I am eating out less during corona and I have been exercising more for the past year.

5’8” and low 150s when I got married. That was definitely after a wedding diet though (my lowest weight since 7th grade!). Was ~160 most of the time we were dating.

12 years later I’m 169 (down a bit from a Covid high and trying to get back close to 160). 10lbs up from my dating weight is generally when I start making changes to keep from getting any higher. That’s getting to be more work as I get older.

Wow. I’m surprised you were able to get pregnant. Most women I know stop menstruating at that height/weight.

Some of us have small body frames. I am 5'11" and was 120 lbs when I became pregnant at 20 and I used a diaphragm. I became pregnant again very easily 4 years later. I'm 59 and 165 lbs now and would like to lose 10 or 15 lbs. Some people are just small boned.

Haha same. I never see this many thin women in real life. I assume overweight and obese women just skipped this thread

105 when married at 27 (not yet dx with celiac disease so was bit underweight)
A couple of years after getting married dx'd with celiac disease, removed gluten from diet, and steadied into a 110-113 weight range which held the same aside from two pregnancies until I was 45 when I started gaining some weight despite eating well and getting regular, challenging, exercise. Must be hormones!

Now 117 at 46.

I am 5'4.

5’8”. I was 160 lbs when I got married. I weigh 190 now. It’s been 13 years, but (with the exception of subsequent pregnancies) I have weighed this ever since my third child was born.

5 feet 8 inches tall and 130 pounds at wedding.
15 years and 3 kids I am now 135. I have lost about 8 pounds since lockdown and less eating out.

115 ish when married. Am currently 120.
