100 Pounds Today On My Scale And Something Else Even Crazier

I had a nervous breakdown this weekend. It is so stupid, but I was deeply distraught, and I don't know what happened.

I am 5'11"

I went to get my body fat done and the woman measured me and she said you are 71 inches. I just said her height thing was wrong, and I am 70 inches. I have been 70 inches since I can remember. So I go to my grandmother's and my aunt measures me. I am 71 inches!!!!!!!!! When did this happen? I mean NOT ONE DOCTOR ever said 71 inches. I can't really recall when the last time I was actually measured.

I am not 5'10"

I am 5'11"

I am a GIANT.

And I lost 100 pounds as of TODAY!

LOL now I can't get that song out of my mind:)

Congratulations, you look fabulous and have gained what many of us on here already. Just another inch in height. Walk with it girl!

Ooh! I hope I gain back the 3/4 inch I lost somewhere since my 20s. You look fabulous! I bet 160 or 170 will look great on you!

LOL now I can't get that song out of my mind:)

lol I know. I watched to video on youtube and started bobbing my head. I really wish I was taller. June13sleever you look really good and tall is a good thing.

Absolutely gorgeous!

You look fabulous! And thanks to the person who provided the explanation of how we could grow taller. I have always been measured at 5'3.5" to 5'4 & when this doctor took my height at 5'2" I was like.... No freaking way!! So they took it again and yep it was true. Freaked me out, I was getting rounder and shorter, dang! So I now have hope I will regain my tall status again. LOL!

This whole topic is making me laugh. I went to my surgical consult yesterday and was measured...and I have the reverse. I have been 5'10" my WHOLE adult life....yesterday I was 5'9.5" HUH!??? I guess it's the extra weight I'm carrying around.

On another note, I'm so glad to see some tall ladies post here, so I can check out your pictures!! I have been over 200# since I was 19 so I'm having a hard time with the visual of where I may end up...and may I say, you look great where you are!!! What a difference!

Thanks again...Amazon Ladies!

What an awesome day for you 100lbs gone and an inch taller. You are rock'n it and look amazing.

who cares how tall you are??? You look FANTASTIC!!!!! SERIOUSLY! All that height means is you get to find you a super tall man...so you can wear heels if you want...or you can wear all those dang cute flats they have out now!

Awesome job!!!.. I'm having height envy right now!!! 5'6 and a half....

Wow well I hope when I lose 100 pounds that I will gain about 5 or 6 inches in height!lol I am only 4'11"!

Congratulations you look phenomenal! Any tips on how you you are losing the weight
