    I am 5'2" and I wish I was 5'6" like my sister. Just a little taller would be awesome!!!

    Really, what is the point of this thread rather than comparing yourself to others? We can't change out height, eye color, skin color, body type, etc. Might as well love ourselves for what we have and are.

    truth be told, the only reason i would love to be taller is to have a higher natural weight

    being taller = higher TDEE = eating more food

    5' 4.5" - I actually like being on the shorter side! I can wear sky high heels and you play on the jungle gym, lol :laugh:

    No, would've liked to be a few inches taller. 5'7'' or 5'8'' would've been nice.

    No. 5'2" short and dumpy. I would love longer legs. Plus if I was taller I could weigh more and look good. Not only am I short but I am very hippy compared to my top half (all hip and no boobs)

    I love being 5'4.5". Well except for when my husband puts things out of my reach without thinking about it (he's 6'1"), then it's kind of a pain, but any other time I love being my height.

    shortie here - claim 5' 1" but not really quite there....fine with it, except that i can never reach anything and have yet to find pants that don't have to be hemmed a foot and 1/2....on the upside - people assume i'm younger than I am which is a good thing now, not so much when i was trying to sneak into the bars :happy:

    I'm 5'11" and I don't like it. I want to wear heels but heels make me look gigantic! makes me feel manly :(
    Yea, I love being 5 ft 10.
    Used to hate it when I was younger, but now embrace it with heels and all :-)

    Yes! I love being'5 10". I will wear my wedges and heels whenever I want. Sure, I am the tallest female in the room, but I know I look good in them. I don't feel manly at all. I WERK it, girl. It's all about the confidence :wink:

    I'm okay with it. I'd like to add an inch to each leg so they'd look thinner. But then I'd be taller than my husband when I wear heals so guess I'm okay with my big thighs.

    No, but it's more my proportions than the total height. I'm 5' 3" and very short waisted and long legged (relatively speaking), which means most one-piece clothes don't fit me. I like dresses, but most have the waist sitting on my hips. Sigh. If I could just add about 3/4-1" to the length of my waist, I'd be good to go.

    NO! I used to think it was cute, but now im 28, 5'2 just makes me feel dumpy and unglamourous! ! !

    Hence why I want to lost 10 pounds! !
    Try being barely 5'1'. My siblings all pick on me and say I'm not 5 feet tall but I have been measured!!!!! I HATE being short and stubby. I have friends who are short but whose legs and arms are long, so they don't really look short. I am not long in any way and I have the thickets thighs and calves! It wouldn't matter how much I weighed, I would still have UGLY legs! I used to only feel short around tall people (I have a sister who is 5'9" and a brother who is over 6'), but now I feel short all the time. I fit right in when I'm in Spain (everyone I know there is short) but I still feel like an amazon because they all have super skinny legs and small builds - just not me!!!!! I wish my parents would have gotten me growth hormones when I was younger :-(.

    I'm 5'9 and felt too tall when I was younger, but now I love it

    I'm right there with ya honey, but shopping for pants long enough is a "B."

    Nope. I'm only 5'3, and I can't reach things on the top shelf of my cabinets!

    Me too! I'm 5'10" and I never wear heels because I feel like a freakin giant everywhere I go.

    Plus you always get " you are SO TALL", like gee thanks, I hadn't noticed.

    I'm 6'4" and I like my height. Sometimes clothes shopping is a *****, but it's worth dealing with. :)

    The height and the build (280 pounds) works well in the 'Enforcement' profession.. :-)

    Yes!!

    I'm 5'5'' and I love it ! I used to hate it, but then I realized that you just have to embrace what you're given...and plus it's a really good excuse to ask that cute guy to help you reach something at the store :) haha !

    I am 5'11. Growing up I HATED how tall I was. I felt like a giant (even though I was skinny) Now, I am thankful to be tall. I am still a little self concsious when I am standing next to a guy and am taller than them though. Not always, just sometimes..?

    :) haha I am 5'2, honestly I would have loved to be 5'5. But I can't choose my height so I make it work ;)

    Yes I do. I feel like I'm at the 'perfect' height because I'm neither too small nor too big. But I can easily reach 5'6, if I wear high heels which is awesome.

    At not quite 5'1", I am basically a Hobbit. The only things I really don't like is not being able to reach anything, always having to hem/roll my pants up, even when I buy petite sizes, and people who always make a point to point out how short I am. :/

    Other than that I just consider myself fun-size. :)

    I'm 5'4" and pretty happy with it. Tall enough that I don't feel like a shorty, but I also am still shorter than most guys (including my 5'10" husband) So yeah, I'm happy with 5'4". :)

    I'm 5'7 and I think it's too tall. My whole family thinks I'm crazy, but I wish I could be 5'5, that would be the perfect height!

    I'm 5'1" and for the most part I like it. I wear heels ALL the time which still only makes me 5'5" +/- but I don't like to go in flats very often because I feel like a midget. The other issue I have is when I am buying pants, the petite and short lengths are too short but the regular is too long so I always buy regular and have to pay extra to shorten them a tad. Other than that, I'm good! :-)
