    Kind of. When I was 13 I was told I was 5'8", but recently I measured and re- measured and I'm only 5'7". My children and husband are all taller than me, and my my BMI is higher :)

    Yep. 5'4" is a good height for me since I'm used to it. :laugh:
    But seriously, I do. I was 5'3" until I was 19 and then magically grew almost a full inch (I claim 5'4" since I round up that last 1/4 inch.) The only bother is finding pants that aren't too long. That might have a lot to do with my sitting height, though. I'm always rolling up my jeans, even if they say "short."

    I like my height. I always thought I was 5' 2", but before I had my WLS surgery they measured me at 5' 2.5"--I grew a half inch! Or maybe their ruler was on the wall wrong :smile: . Either way I'm good. I have a step stool to reach the higher cabinets. I have no problem asking men to hand me things at the grocery store (this is so embarrassing for my 14 year old daughter). My daughter is taller than me & teases me but I like being short.

    I wish I was a little bit taller. Wish I was a baller....


    I'm 5'9" which makes me kind of tall for a woman but not really. I wanna be like 6ft tall.

    I love it. I'm 5'0. I can stand up under the overhead bins on airplanes. I can ask hot dudes to reach things for me on the top shelf at the grocery store and keep it legit. I can wear awesome shoes and still be shorter than pretty much every guy I know. Really the only thing that sucks about it is that I might as well add $40 to the cost of every dress I buy because they will invariably need alterations.
    im 5"0" to . help from cuties is definitly a plus. wish i were taller but i can definitly live with. sometime we can do things no one else can because we're short and versatile

    This.

    Though after four pregnancies, too much extra weight, and aging I'm only measuring 5' 8.5" and I'd like my extra 1/2 inch back TYVM!

    I am 5'3" and feel way too short. I wish I was closer to 5'6". My husband and his family are all tall, so I always feel really short around them. My kids are all taller than me, one got her father's height.

    I've always wanted to be taller. I'm the shortest in my family by at least two inches ... and that includes my grandmas!

    That said, I am 5'8.5 ... so I realize I'm not exactly short, but when three of your siblings are 6'+ it kinda sucks.

    I'm 6'5", finding appropriate seating is the biggest pain, literally. In high school i had to lift my desk and place it on my lap. I went to a concert months ago, and had to sit on the isle stairs.

    Not especially. At a hair under 5' 7", I feel pretty short for a grown man. Besides, if I were a few inches taller, my BMI would be in line with a healthy weight! :tongue:

    I'm 5'7" - on the shorter side for a guy. And I hate it. Though I'll admit I've got some issues with self-esteem that go beyond my (lack of) height.

    I'm 5'9" which I don't mine.... except when I'm standing next to my 5'5" tall husband!

    Yep, 5'9" and if anything I would like to be a couple inches taller. Then once I get rid of all the fat, I'll go buy myself some hooker heels, a short dress in a leopard print, get an 8 inch beehive hairdo and walk around like Elvira on drugs! :noway:

    Love being 5'8''!!! I hold my weight well. I'm tall enough without heels but can wear them and not feel like I'm completely towering over everyone :) I have 4 sisters who are all about 5'3'' so not sure where I came from, but I'm happy that I'm tall! If I could change my height, I wouldn't.
