    6'1"

    Been this height since I was 15. I am only just beginning to embrace and enjoy my height at the age of 28.

    I've been 6'0" since High School and I hated it back then. I now love being tall and wearing sexy, high heels. My husband is 6'5" and the rest our combined family members are between 5'8-6'5!" We have a five year old daughter who has always been off the charts for height and is the tallest in her class. Tall people rule!

    No Jamie you and I are tied! Edited to add: And Stacey, too!

    6'2" - my fiance is 6'6"

    I was 6' tall my freshman year of HS.

    I've played every sport known to man, and even when I wasn't at my lightest weight - I'm still very athletic. It runs in my family - my dad was all-state Baseball and Basketball and my mom was a competitive raquet ball player back in the day.

    My man and I are on-par to have a first round draft pick for the NFC!!! :drinker: Woohoo!

    5'10" and have been this tall since before I was 12. I am a freak of nature in my family - my parents are both around 5'6" and my sisters are 5'6" and 5'2".

    Same here! My mom is 5'7" and my big sister is 5'3"! Both my mom and dads side of the family are pretty short, most of the women are around 5' to 5'5", and the guys around 5'7 to 5'10...

    Everyone jokes that if it wasnt for it that I look exactly like my dad, they'd wonder if my mom had a thing with the milkman (they never had a milkman btw lol)

    So glad to know Im not the tallest! lol. I was 5"9 at age 11 and hit 6' by age 12... talk about a growth spurt, plus i also went from being flat chested to being in a 36D almost overnight.... This would have been the ideal body for a 16 year old girl but at age 12 the boys called me an ogre :(

    I do love my height now! and its always great to go places with my bf and have ppl stare at us and ask if we play a pro sport

    Boys were so mean when I was younger! If it wasn't about my height it was about my weight.

    I'm not naturally large chested. LOL I was flat as a board! Totally embarrassing. Went from a B to a DD. Of course this was back when I was skinnier.

    I think once I get some more weight off I will go back to being comfortable with my height - right now I just feel large and in charge! AUGH. LOL

    I'm 5 feet 11 and 1/2 inches tall, but I claim 6 feet. I always wanted to be 6 feet tall, and I figure I'm close enough!

    I think I actually measure up to 6' 2 1/2 inches. At one point I was told 6'3" and my coaches always tried to put me at 6'4" which I know was not true since I had 2 sisters that are those heights and I am shorter when I stand next to them. My husband is also 6'2" so it will beintersting to see the height of our children. By the time I was 11 I was 6'1" and the clutziest thing on earth, so I use to hate it. After growing my last inch & half slowly, I grew into my body and started to not mind as much being as tall as I am. It can be an interstnig journey in life :)

    Boys were mean all through school, but really i think they were just jealous of my height! lol

    Stick with it girl and you will get the weight off. I now weight less than i did when I was 12!!!! I never thought i would get down to this size but if you stick with it you will achieve the body you want!

    I am 5' 9" :) I used to resent being tall but I am beginning to love it now :) I wouldn't have it any other way. Tall ladies are super sexy and super awesome :)

    5'10.5" :) I love being tall. It is nice too because my boyfriend is 6'7", so I don't have to worry about wearing heels and being taller than him. xD

    Hurray for being tall!

    6 feet even.

    I was always the tallest in school, and I think that by the time I graduated there was only one or two who were taller than me, and they were guys.

    5'11" I'm not sure how long I've been this tall, but I was always to tallest in my class growing up until middle school! My dad is 6'2" his dad is 6'4" and my mom is 5'9" and her dad is 6'0" So I come from a long line of tall folks. My poor hubby is only 5'7" but he doesn't care. He just hopes our kid has my height!!

    5'11'' here with a 5'7'' hubby too! :)

    The shortest I remember being is 5'9'' in middle school.

    I am 5'9". My husband is probably 5'8", so I am taller than him with heels. My children are both over 6'- one boy one girl. I have been this tall since 7th grade. I always despised being tall. Am comfortable now... thank goodness!

    6'0 and love it!
  • I'm 5'9" and have been this height since I was 13.
    I wear heels to work every day, and higher heels out on the weekend so I'm normally closer to 6 foot. I love high heels and despite peoples' criticism, I refuse to give them up just because "I'm already tall enough"

    6'4" is a fabulous height. You win with me! My daughter is also 6'4", but since she isn't a member here, she can't claim to tie you.

    6'0 on the nose! Higher heels have snuck into my shoe collection in recent years, too, which means I think I'm finally used to being the tallest girl I know.
  • 5'10. I feel short now

    I'm 5'10 & I feel short for once in my life! I love to wear my 3-4" heels as much as I can!

    I am 5'10 and sometime a half an inch taller- depending on my weight- and I hit my height at 12 yrs old. I love it...2 inch heels and I am 6 ft. = )

    My little sister is just shy of 5'10. My three dear sis in laws are 5'11", 5'9", and 5'10" and my brothers range from 6'0 to 6'5". Whenever our family is all together in photos with other people, it makes everyone else look really short. LOL.

    I'm 6'0" and have been since I was 13 :) Little boys are mean at that age and I struggled with some self image issues for awhile, but over the last 15 years......those "little boys" sure act different. Muuuwwaaahahahahaha! Last laugh...that would belong to me :) HA! lol I can take most of the stupid, ignorant comments I used to get, continue to get, and will always get throughout my life....and I applaud people who come up with some unique ones I haven't heard yet. However, I still crinch and get that hot flash of "I just might punch you in the face" feeling when the word "Amazon" is used. For some reason, that one is still a thorn in my side.
  • 6'0 exactly. How many times have you heard...

    "How tall are you?"
    "Did you play basketball?"
    "Are you wearing heels?"
    "Did you grow since last time I saw you?" (Love this one, I am 27 years old and haven't grown since I was 12. I usually respond, no you must be shrinking!)
    "Your husband must be tall."
    Ect, Ect, Ect

    I used to be offended and now I just think it is funny!

    I always thought I was 5' 9", until I registered at our new doctor's and had my height done on one of those laser-measuring thingys - turns out I've got an extra 0.6" :happy: (It's not a big difference, but I like it!).

    I know I'm not up to the stature of most of you ladies, but I am SO glad I'm not teeny-weenie - my sister-in-law (5' 4") is a full foot shorter than my brother and she hates it!
