    I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a baller. I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her.

    HA! that brought back memories of the 90's

    I'm 5'1". Most of the time I don't mind being short but it would be nice if my feet fully touched the floor when I sat in a chair and if I didn't have to hem up all of my pants.

    Oh YES & I hate being short. In fact I'm the shortest in my family because all my brothers are tall, my sister is about 1.73m (about 5'8"). I'm only 1.57m (about 5'2") & I would be more happy if I gain at least 13-14cm (about 5-6 inches) on my height.

    Good thing my boyfriend also short at 1.64m (about 5'4") otherwise I hate looking like a dwarf around a man.

    Not at all. What I do hate is being referred to as the "tall one". I guess it could be worse tho! lol 5'9 and since losing this weight I love my height even more. :drinker:

    ...and most of my heels are 4in or taller!

    I'm perfectly happy with my height because it means I can weigh and eat more and be healthy.

    I'm 5' 10" and have no problem wearing 3" heels.

    .... oh and I love to rock the 4" heels!

    I'm 6'5". Love 5'11" women in 4 inch heels.

    Oh, and I'd never change being 6'5". Makes me taller than 99% of everyone. Loves it.

    I'm 5'3" and like being this height but it would come in handy at times to be a little taller but that's why I have a 6' son. :laugh:

    Every girl under 5'5" seems to wish she was taller, well I'm 5'1.5" and I wish I was 5'. I'd be a perfect flyer for cheerleading.

    Wish I was 10 feet tall so I wouldn't be "fat" anymore....

    Ok, I'm 5' 9" and ok with that


    you're almost at your goal...you're not "fat" - look at your pictures :)
    Sorry, didn't mean it that way. According to the bmi scale my Dr refuses to give up, I'm still classified as overweight. If I was 10 ft tall I could go eat some cake! Lol

    Nope. I'm cool with my 4'11 height. I leave the high stuff for my husband to handle if he's around. Otherwise, I'm willing to climb. He's 6'2. Together we can handle anything within either range.

    I'm about 6'2" or 6'3" and I would love to be shorter. I hit my head on thing, my knees hit the steering wheel on 90% of cars, and everyone always needs me to reach high-up things. People should really stop putting things so high up if they can't reach them lol

    To quote Garfield the cat: "I'm not overweight, I'm undertall" :laugh:

    I wish I was a bit shorter - I'm 5'5" and I'd like to be 5'3" or so

    I wouldn't mind being a few inches shorter. I don't mind being 5'10" but when I wear heels I feel like a giant... I wish I was 5'7"

    Embrace it..British racing jockey Frankie Dettori is 5' maybe 5'3" tops and his wife is 5' 10" bare foot...and he loves it when she wears heels :)
