is it an unrealistic goal to stay the same size as I was in High School?

For the average person - it seems to be.  Only really lucky people who have great genetics in their family seem to be able to retain thier youthful figure  (unless of course you were heavy - they yes - it is realisti )  \n\nYou will have to work harder and harder as the years go by if you like eating... you will tend to gain weight - the weight is harder to lose as you get older..... :(  Sad to true...

there is no "ideal" size honey... your body is going to go through a lot of changes over the next 5 years.. no matter what size u end up ,or are right now, u need to be happy with it and i guarantee someone else will be too!

I wish I was 128 again sweetie! I know how you feel though...when I was in highschool I swore I was overweight at 125 lbs and the same height as you. Now...after having a child I have gained and am 150lbs. I know I am overweight now. I would give anything to once again be that skinny 125! You are fine the way you are!

Definitely not as a hard and fast rule. Even as a general rule, that sounds a bit young; many, many men continue to grow throughout college. I did, certainly, though in my case I tended to grow out more than up ;-)

You know, as someone who hated high school (in the 80's), I can tell you - what those people think about you won't make one bit of difference after you all part ways. Don't bend over backwards trying to "be cool" and stop worrying about the popular kids. They're all just as insecure as anyone else. \n\nDo be yourself. Working out is good - if it's for good reasons, like wanting to be healthy. Don't force yourself to give up things you love to join a sport or other activity that you'll hate. For Pete's sake, this is your youth. Live it in a way that will make you happy - not other people.\n\n(P.S. I hung out with the "geeks" and the "cool kids." Guess who I liked better?)

You are currently near the top of the healthy weight range for your height, which means you may be at risk for becoming overweight.  But if you're still growing and you add another inch or two, then that won't necessarily be a problem.  \n\nLosing five pounds sounds doable.  Just cut back on the junk food and sodas (I know, that's hard for teenagers but it's worth it to your health) and work a little more exercise into your life.  You'll be glad you did.\n\n(See the Ideal Body Weight Calculator for Kids and Adults at the link below.)

ok its completely up to you what you do.If you are naturally skinny and want to stay like that,then that is fine.But if you want to put a bit more on like you do then that is also up to you.It is completely your decision.I have asked my boyfriend for you and he says he prefers nothing particular,and that te outside appearence doesn't matter.He says what he prefers is confidence with the appreance.And i agree that confidence is attractive.I think a good size is a ten.But if you really want to go up to eight i would advise eating a little more carbs such as more breads and rice but also mix it with healthy eating.Even if you want to put more weight on never become unhealthy.Yes it will put the weight on but 1)you will go up to a huge size  2)you may not look unhealthy but it is seriously dangerous internally.I hope this helps.

I didn't go to college (maybe later), but I change a great deal after high school. I lost about 45 pounds and moved in with my dad who I didn't know a great deal of at the time. Later on I did a few temp jobs and joined the army. Change happens I guess.

don't worry i feel the same way, they think we are all that size. But also look around at all the young girls now a days they are alot tinier than when in was in school. i'm a size 6-8 and have trouble finding clothes, but i also have two wonderful children. good luck. try old navy they have good clothes and are less $$$ in the long run and just as nice.

Dude!!! When I was in high school, I was the same way. I was playing football and working out all day and I got really strong, but I looked like a matchstick. I played defensive line and could throw guys around, but when they saw me in the huddle, they would laugh. I tried weight gainer, and that worked but its expensive and once you stop, your metabolism takes over again. HGH does work to a certain degree. Again its expensive and all the side effects havent been worked out yet. I do know that you get nasty back acne and act like a chick on her rag sometimes. But I guess the sexual effects arent as bad as the injected steroids normally used. So, my advice to you is if you are in high school and are playing sports, stick to weight gainer and maybe some creatine supplements. Work out like a madman and eat as many calories as you can. This is because you can be drug tested if someone suspects something in your school and those are illegal for use in high school sports. If your not in school and dont care, then hey, try it. What have you got to lose? We know what you have to gain.

IM a short person too but in middle school i was in high jump and won first place nearly all the time. My trick is hanging on to weights and jumping up and down until you feel it burn. keep doing that for a while and every day. Or another thing that works is putting  a backpack on with weight in it and walking around with it all day.

You will.  Growth occurs for most people during high school.  Compare people in your class to seniors in high school.

LOL ... Get different parents.\n\nSeriously, you're pretty much done.  Some guys still grow a little after entering college, but three more inches is asking a lot.  Nothing you do will change it, just accept what you've got.

No, you are in the healthy weight range.  Don't be hung up on weight, just enjoy life and be happy!

Only if it is affecting your health. If you are so large you have back troubles, yes, it may be the way to go, but if you are trying to improve your self image chances are you will only start to find other things you dislike about yourself. It's better to love yourself the way you are than to try to adjust yourself to what the world thinks you should be.

The goal's not to be real thin but to feel great about yourself and look healthy. Maybe you should just eat a healthy diet.
