Shorter than I thought!

So I have always said I was 5'4 ..."on a good day" but I decided I really wanted to know exactly how I am am...or am NOT! Lol

So I had my partner measure me......I'm 5'2 3/4..... not even 5'3...

Lol guess my BMI is a tad higher than I thought....anyone else not sure exactly how tall they are ??

    I've shrunk... I used to be 5ft 11 1/2 inches... I've lost an inch... Better an inch off there than... Well... It's just better to come off my height...

  • oh boy..then me being 4"11 naturally would make me like 4'10?? Oh Lawwwd I can't be a minion!

  • Gravity wins every time. If you want it back, do an inversion board in the morning and get your height checked then. It will give you that extra 1/2". But wait a minute ladies, I thought you all sa

Yes I was a solid 5' 10" and now in my "old" age I have shrunk 5" 9 1/2"

For some odd reason, I told people I was 5' 1". I'm not. I'm exactly five feet tall (or short) as the case may be. :) I know this little lie had something to do with my weight...like an extra inch would make a difference with all the excess poundage I was carrying. But..hey, we all do what we must in order to avoid what we don't want to face.

Isn't it funny how we know our weight down the a tenth of a pound but sometimes not as sure of our height..... I'm still in shock over my "little" revelation! Lol

I always thought I was 5'3 and now discover I am 5'2! Thanks heavens I have blue eyes so I can be like the song "5'2, eyes of blue, coochy coochy coochy coo-- has anybody seen my gal "

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm...

The cuff of my trousers drags on the ground now?

Is that what you were after?

I'm the exception----I actually have "large foot paddage". :)

That's my story and I'm stick'n to it...

I was always 5'2 1/2" but having all those kids took their toll on me, I'm 5'1 1/2 everytime they measure me now.

This happened to me, I swore I was 5'8" but nope I am now 5'7'.
