Sherri, I'm 5' 0" standing on a box with my hands in the air! I'm shorter than you, but after knee surgery, the doc says I will be about 3" taller 'cause my knees will be straight.

I just had DH measure me and I am 5' 1.25" I must say it is always hard for me to find pants that fit without me having to adjust them.

you know I'm tall, 5'8", but I wear my weight all over my body. I'm so excited that you will be taller, Barb. When is your surgery?

Still haven't heard yet, but i see the surgeon next week and am prepared to beg for a date. My DS gets married in December in Cuba and I must be able to travel and dance at his wedding. Apparently I can't fly for 6 weeks after surgery, so they better hurry up. My cut-off date is Sep 15. If nothing by then, I'll wait until January so I can go to the wedding.

I USED to be 5'4, but as you get older, some of us get shorter! I think I'm about 5'3 now.

Hey, I"m 5'2. I was looking lots better before May! And felt better too. I had to quit Curves to take care of my girls and have put on some weight, 5 or less lbs but still. Better get that work out back in. I will be at Curves again come school time.

I'm only 5'2", Sherri, and I already told you I wear plus sizes. Are you trying to drag me down to despair? LOL, I'm just kidding. I've been heavy most of my life, so I really feel comfortable in about a size 16....not where I am now in a size 20!

i'm about 5'5-1/2" is that considered tall or short?? I've always wondered, DH is 6'1" and he thinks I'm short.

I am 5 ft 8. I hated it in highschool when all the guys liked the little short cute cheerleader types like Sherri!

After I became an adult I have loved being tall.

I'm 5'3, my mum is 5'2 and my sister is 5'1. You're not short, you are petite. I think Eva Longoria in really small but she is gorgeous.

Don't stress Sherri. It will come off.

I'm 5'2" and as my mom says "big boned". I just hate that saying. This coming from the woman who weighs all of 90 pounds soaking wet, and I am not joking either. I swear I was switched at birth in the hospital because my sister is tiny weeny too and tall. I have been heavy my whole life, and will NEVER be a size 14, only in my dreams. But I would love to get back to my size 16 of high school or the 18 I was when I got married. Just ain't happening with my job. Too much eating at weird hours and on the run.

I'm 5'6 and still growing!!

TO the sides that is! I weigh 145 (yes Mary Jayne I'm FAT), but I'm on a diet. Right now it's 2:24am and I'm eating swiss cheese, water, and HOT cajun peanuts oh and I almost forgot that before all that I ate cereal :shocked: I hate to be home!!

I need to stop the insanity!!! (remember that potatoe lady)? hahaha!!

I'm 5'4" and wear plus sizes, I guess size 20 or 2XL. I'm working on getting rid of some of those pounds. I always wish I would be taller, my mom is 5'10", and my sisters are all 5'7" or taller. My maternal family is all taller than me and they tell me I look exactly like my great-grandmother who was a short stout lady with a great sense of humor. I've seen pictures of her, OMG, looks like I'm headed towards my Grammie Beaton.

In my next life I'm going to be 6' tall and have long auburn wavy hair. My slacks won't have to be hemmed and my dresses & skirts will hang just exactly right. :nod:

It's too hot to walk now Sherri, unless you walk that 600 ft driveway at 6:30 in the morning! You'll get rid of those pounds soon. Here it is 3:45 am and I'm up here yakking like some kind of nut. :wacko:

Sherri,
I'm 4' 10" and I know what you mean when you say 5 pounds is a full size larger on us! I took the kids to a well known amusement park last weekend. A number of the rides required you to be 60'' tall (5 ft) and guess who had to stay behind while my KIDS went! I work in a middle school and most of the students are taller than me! I never get caught in the hallways during passing time either! He he

Don't get me started!
I've been overweight most of my life.:arghh:
Right now, after over 5 years of trying to lose, I'm at a stand-still of having lost around 50#.
I was 5'6", but lost about an inch due to osteoporosis.
So, now, I'm supposed to weigh even less! ARRRRGGGHHHH!
I'm wearing a size 16 W now....aiming for 14W...that's fine. I know I'll never be skinny, and wouldn't be able to keep it that low if I ever did get there!
I want to lose only about 10 more #, and I'm having so much trouble with that!:huh:
I bought a step-counting pedometer.....It's great except that it keeps resetting itself when I accidentally hit it...
I'm mathematically challenged, so have trouble remembering where it was when it started over each time. I think I'm around 5000 steps right now. Need to increase that!
Sorry this is so long....
Good luck, Sherri.....you'll lose now that you're healed!:D
HUGS

I'm 5'5" tall, which I consider mid-range: not short, not tall! I had lost almost 60 pounds and was almost a size 16, but since my thyroid surgery last summer the weight has been creeping back on! Now I'm back up to a size 20 and very bummed at myself! See--it's all perspective: size 16 sounds wonderful to me!

Well I am about 5 7". Sometimes it is just as hard to taller. My sister is 5 foot 2 and petite. size 4. Me on the other hand I struggle with my weight all the time. I am about a size 10 trying to get to an eight but I work out and watch everything I put in my mouth. If I don't do my wieght watchers for a week I gain 5 pounds and go up a size!

Sherri.. I can totally relate.. I am 5ft. and 5lbs either way is 2 sizes... it is very hard when you are small, you see every pound!

Weird thing about the height (its been a topic of conversation for me recently) ... I never thought I was short (5'4-1/2")until I was about 35 years old.... all of my mom friends seemed to be 5'7" or taller... and they called me shorty. I have been the same height since I was in 6th grade and was considered one of the tall ones then. My 14 ds just caught up to me.... he thinks it's cool... but I want him to keep going and be 6' like his dad.

I'm just the right height for my size (as I say!)

You are definitely shorter then me! I am 5'3 give or take, but I always say I am 5'4....sounds better I think...!! I am in a size 12, and I am feeling like a chunky little monkey!! I wish that I could get back to my pre-baby (before my 4) size of a 1....LOL...those were the days....

I am 5'8" and am kinda round. To think, I use to cry because I was so skinny, I couldn't find clothes to fit me!

I'm 5'4". In my skinny days I wore 9 -10s. I don't even like to buy clothes with sizes now. It is disheartening. I tend to buy close that say "Large".... So I don't really know my size... what ever Large translates into.
