Yeah, I was born 10#9oz and was a "chubby" kid. I liked being active but couldn't run worth ****. I remember being on a diet in 4th grade and being one of the first girls > 100#. I had several times where I lost a significant amount of weight:
* 9th grade lost 30# on the IceCream-Sandwich-Lunch diet (pocketing the leftover 30c school lunch money)
* Age 35 lost 100# as a Masters swimmer / low-fat, high-carb diet, achieved ideal weight lifetime first age 36.
* Age 50 lost 100# as a Masters swimmer / low-fat, high-carb diet plus health problems
Obviously some serious relapses in between. I am still working on the Age 50 streak.
