Hi Stargirl! Height/weight charts are pretty meaningless, in my opinion. Determining if your body fat % is within an acceptable range for your gender is much better. There are many threads on this site addressing how to determine your body fat %, and the results vary widely! Having a large frame as you do...be sure to use a method that takes into account your wrist measurements, height, & weight.

It sounds like you feel that you are at an acceptable weight for your height and body structure. I can't imagine anyone trying to get back to the weight that they were at age 12!!!! You know your body....listen to it & don't worry about numbers on a scale.
