Skinny. when i joined the Metro Police Department, i weighed 175 pounds. after completion of the police academy and all the running, i weighed 155 pounds. i now weigh 235 pounds. quite a difference from a skinny kid to adult.

I was skinny although I always felt fat. I remember having a rounder face and more curves when I was a teenager but it was only a 5lb difference.

I wasn’t fat. I was kind of chubby, though. I wasn’t ever teased because of my size, but I always felt self conscious about my weight. I hit a growth spurt and my weight evened out.
I’m still five or ten pounds heavier than I’d like to be. But its not at lack of exercise.

I was pretty thin…way back then we didn’t have access to all the fast food, mega sweetened “fruit punch” drinks kids today guzzle. Plus black and white TV was not all that mesmerizing and rain, snow or shine, we were actually outside playing all day.

I’m a bit chubby in when I was a little kid but after I reached my teen ages I’m more skinnier since I prefer that kind of body and I like many people to adore me through the shape of my body ha ha….

I was a butterball. Not my fault. I do know that I was very physically active, playing sports like soccer, and plying with the neighborhood kids. But I didn’t grow out of it.
But because I didn’t grow out of it, I wasn’t able to join the military because if my weight. It wasn’t because I was lazy, no matter what I did it wasn’t moving. I did ROTC and was able to keep up with the others for the Marine corps physical fitness test and passed.

I was skinny, but not a weakling. I could climb the ropes faster than a monkey.with two prehensile tails.

I was extremely skinny, to the point that my mother took me to the doctor about it at one point. It’s only been since I reached about 40 that I’ve reached a “normal” weight for my height and frame. But it makes me feel fat, because I was skinny all my life.

I was quite skinny. When I was a little kid, my mom used to put suspenders on me to hold my jeans up. Thanks Mom! When I graduated high school, I was 5’ 9” and weighed 125 pounds. At college graduation, I weighed about 10 pounds more, and think I looked much better. :) Growing up, we ate fast food regularly, crap like Twinkies and Little Debbie snacks, almost no fresh fruits or veggies. Our fridge was constantly stocked with soda, and my high school lunch consisted of a Coke and some Nutty Bars. I’d stop at McDonald’s on my way home from school almost every day once I had my own car. I didn’t exercise or play sports at all, but spent most of my childhood until the car with my rear end stuck firmly to my bike. I did a lot of hiking. Ate horribly all through college, especially the semester my roommate worked at a local pizza place and brought home all of the leftover slices after each of her shifts. In spite of that, I was rather hot, if I do say so myself.

Then I had three kids and it was all downhill from there!

I felt fat, but I was average.

I was a fat kid.

I was super skinny and I still am pretty thin. I was the skinniest smallest shortest kid in my class pretty much all through school.

But I actually didn’t get bullied non-stop, believe it or not. And the only time I did was not for that reason.

I was between thin and skinny as a kid.
