I'm 4'11.5"/106.9lbs and not completely satisfied with my height.
Does anyone know any tricks/foods/excercises/tips to grow taller? And any personal experience? Opinions? Help?

    I think you're screwed, honey. Bones don't grow after a certain age. For females it's around 18-20 years, males it's about 22-23 years. Sorry. Just wear platforms. You'll be okay. Short people are cute, though. i'm short. I use it as an excuse for people to help me get things. :D

    LMAO!!! I'm 5'2 as well, I heard a rumor yoga and pilates can help you "gain height" because they stretch your spine..... yeah, I didn't get any height out of it...a great workout, but no taller here.... lol

    Awesome post! I'm 5'5 and have never felt it was a disadvantage. I think people who let height inflate their egos are silly. It's all genetics you had nothing to do with it.:laugh:

    Yoga made me grow an inch or two because my spine got all stretched out, maybe you can try that.

    Sorry, but there is no food will help you grow...high heels will have to be your best friend

    Not really. PIlatesyoga, and chiropractic can help you temporarily add a smidgeon of height but isn't really noticeable unless your spine was abnormally compressed to begin with. High heels are your only sure bet - and big hair will make you seem taller (aka Snookie) but I wouldn't recommend it. Be happy- you are still almost an inch taller than me!
