I am 5'10", in my mid 40s. I was always good healthy weight (like most kids in my generation. of a class of 20-30 students there was usually only 1 fat kid in the class.)

Well i peaked at 130 lbs in my pre teens, then had a weight jump in late teens to 170 after my growth spurt. And remember my gym teachers always saying i was borderline low in body fat % but still in the safe range. I forget the number but i was always at the lowest % number for healthy range of body fat for guys.

I stayed 170 into my adult life up to the age of 27 when i gained a bunch of weight fast 30-40 lbs in just a few months. This was about the time i became a non-smoker, I smoked from age 20-27. It is also the time i had a boost in my living lifestyle/quality of life improved and had money to spare so i could now buy things (food) i previously couldn't afford to eat.

well I was now up to 200-210 range and stable. Got more comfortable in a good healthy relationship a few years later and i gained 10-20 more lbs in my comfort and was at 230 and stayed there for around 3 to 4 years and went up 10 more lbs and hit 240 and stayed there for a few more years, then i jumped 20 more lbs over the next 3 years and stabilized, then climbed again to 275 and said that is it, and started my fat secret journey.

I will say i did several short term diets before and could lose easily the 1st week then lose motivation as 2nd week i didn't and gave up a lot. finally found weight watchers and stuck with it for a few months and lost 20+ lbs but faded away from it when money got tight again. This time money still a little tight but i am making it count this time on fat secret.

170 here i come!!!
