Poll question: How Tall Are You?
Edited on Tue Apr-27-04 10:43 AM by elfwitch
Simple Question: What is your height?
Apologies to our metric system users...

QUESTION 2: When did you stop growing taller?

I've been exactly 5 feet tall since 1985. I stopped growing taller at 14. Wider, that is another story.

11. Sure I'm small...
but I'm meaner than damn near anybody here.

And...
My hubby is 6ft and 310lbs of muscle.
I'll take any of you on with him as my backup.

20. 5'10" female here...
I reached my full height when I was 11. I was an inch taller then. Degenerative disc disease and other back problems has had me lose an inch in the past 14 years or so.

Stopped growing a long time ago. I fervently believe that "good things come in small packages" At least that what's my Dad used to say.:hi:

I stopped growing around 13 or so. I can recall being taller than a lot of fellow students when I entered high school.. and that by the end of high school those same students were over a foot taller than me.

12. I am 5' 7" tall (really 7.5")
Edited on Tue Apr-27-04 10:48 AM by lovedems
We are tall in my family. My 8 year old son is tall as well. He is (according to our doctor) 5" taller then he should be for his age. He is a whole head taller then his classmates. Basketball scholarship in the future???? I stopped growing when I was 18 except for my feet which grew 1/2 size every time I was pregnant with my kids. (Not to worry, they are not disproportionatly bigger then my height)

I'm actually six-one and three quarters, but round up because it's too high to round down and I'd sound like an ass reciting the exact height.

I have a hard time hearing you with my ears being so very far away from the source of your noise. You'll have to speak a little louder! Oh, and wear bright clothing, else I might step on you without noticing! Thanks! ;-)

37. 5'2", but I didn't stop growing until I was 29
Seriously. I was 4'11" when I graduated high school, and it took me 12 years to grow the next three inches to my current towering height.

My husband's 6'2" and his sons are 6'3" and 6'4". John says I look like a Jack Russell running with a pack of Rottweilers. I point out that a Jack Russell can kick a Rottie's ass with sheer attitude, too.

They outweigh me by an aggregate of nearly 700 pounds or so, too - I weigh 115, and they weigh nearly 800 pounds between the three of them. Those are some big boys.

I'm too young to know if I have stopped growing. I wish I would put on some weight though because I only weigh 145 lbs.
