OMG! Lift weights, shorties! I had my annual well-woman check today... I've GROWN 1/2" in the last year. Doc & I are attributing it to weight lifting's form focus and stronger muscles improving posture. :happy: Heee! I GREW!!!!

No longer 5'3.75" but 5'4.25"

    Strangely, I've always been 5'2 and 1/4 but lately I've been told I'm 5'3...and I been lifting heavy for over a year. Maybe I got taller too:glasses:

    If I lift enough I should be tall enough to realise my life long dream of being a VS model

    I gained 1/4" in the last 5 years. My husband thought I was crazy so I made him measure me. I never really thought about it like that (because of weight training) but I suppose it is possible.

    I am so going to start lifting......then maybe I can grow (4'11) and 138lbs would not be so bad :) If I could lift enough to be 5'2 I would be PERFECT! lol

    Huh. I've never given one second of thought before right now. I used to be 4'11 3/4" and now I am 5' even.

    Weird.

    No growth needed here, but congrats to all of you. That's a cool side benefit to lifting, right? If only it would shrink my size 11 feet.

    A half inch will do me no good. I'd still be approximately 5'1".

    Although I have been lifting for about a year. Maybe I will measure!

    I'll definitely vouch for this! Doing pilates has improved my posture so I've gone from 5'3 to nearly 5'4! ;D
