I didn't realize I slouched so much until I gain 1/2" in height :) Anyone else getting taller with their weight loss?

    I haven't measured myself, but I feel shorter . . . however, I always felt so HUGE at 5'10" and the extra weight didn't help. I think overall with getting leaner I feel less massive. I bet I would get taller if I imporved my posture!

    It was about a half inch for me, too, when the nurse measured me back in Dec.

    I haven't gotten taller and I don't feel any taller, but people tell me I look taller all the time :)

    Yep..I noticed as I lost weight and trained my back muscles I "grew" a Lil taller...people tell me I walk like a marine but I can't help it due to my improved posture...plus my backaches are gone...:)

    I feel taller but haven't checked. For me, it's the stretching exercises that makes me have a better posture. It also helps with making you look thinner when you have better posture.

    Not sure if I've got taller, but my neck seems to have got longer. Guess I couldn't see it behind all those chins before.....

    I haven't gotten taller, but my shirts are getting longer! (cuz my belly and butt aren't filling them out, so they are hanging loosely on me)
