Ht. 5'10", Start: 195 lb, Today: 196 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 195 lb - A year ago, I was REALLY skinny (100 lbs at 5'2") Over the past year, I've gained 95 pounds and gotten 8" taller. At first, I didn't notice my weight gain, until my friends started commenting on it (they weren't being mean about it) and then I realized how much weight I had put on. It's hard getting used to the excess weight, and having to buy new clothes all the time is expensive and annoying. I'm not sure about what I want to do about my weight yet; I'm not ready to change my habits or alter my behavior yet. I feel healthy (even healthier than I was when I was underweight), and I look healthier (according to my family) than when I was underweight. Just trying to figure things out :)
