I appear to have shrunk

[Ragtime Gal]

I just got back from the doc where I was measured. They did it twice, and both times it came out at 5 feet, five and a half inches.

Now I know I used to be 5 feet, six and a half inches.

So there are two possibilities:

1. The measuring stick in the office is wrong.

2. I've shrunk.

Which do you think it is? Who shrinks at this age?

Re: I appear to have shrunk

From what I have read, height loss is common and usually starts about 40 and continues from there...so you do seem a little young to have lost an inch already! You can supposedly slow it down by strengthening your bones and improving your posture and strengthening your back muscles. Maybe your height was just jealous of your SUPER weightloss and wanted to "shrink" along with the rest of you! Or, of course, it could totally be option one and the measuring stick is wrong! Have a great day!

Dont sweat it. I did modelling and was 5'8 and one gym measured me at 5'6 and my doctor says I am just shy of 5'7 . If I stand next to my sister who claims to be 5'7, I am easily 2 inches taller than her........so who knows right?AS long as your pants arent dragging on the ground, than your probably still the same height.

I've read that it is from age 30 that you can start shrinking! up to 2 inches for women and it's mostly just due to the ageing processes we all go through.
Although, you can be physically shorter at nightime than you are when you wake up in the morning
