    My feet have also gotten smaller! I was always a 7-7.5 and now I'm a 6.5-7.

    My guess is that when your more muscular you hold your body togighter and when you stand up more your everything gets pushed down I think your tallest when you wake up because you have been streached out on a bed for hours.

    OK...So depending on who is measuring my height, I have been measured everything from 5'3" to 5'5. More consistantly I measure about 5'4.5" So, My license says 5'5" because they don't put "and a half" on licenses.

    Go get your height done again...see if it is consistant or a one time measuring goof.

    Then again, we have fat surrounding our heads. Last week people posted facial shots of weight loss and it was pretty dramatic how we seem to lose from top down...So maybe between feet and head...there was that much height lost?
    Honest, until today I didn't know shoe size changed with weight loss.

    I LOVE everything I learn from y'all!

    (oh, and YEAH...I gotta go bra shopping, but not yet time for new pants...grumble)

    Also I think when your bigger your blood volume is up ? So more blood between your joints?

    I was going to say that too. I've heard that you can loose up to an inch through out the day thanks to gravity. So if you went to the doctor later in the day vs in the morning you can get different height measurements. But who knows, maybe weight loss can effect height too.

    Just checked... still hanging at 5'4" lol.
    I wish my feet would shrink a bit width wise.

    I have had the opposite. When I had my yearly physical I was 5'6, I have been 5'5 1/2 my whole life. When I went to the bariatric doctor, I was 5'6 1/2. I made them measure me 3 times, they kept getting the same number. THen I had to go back to my weight loss doctor and they said 5'5 1/2. I told her to try it again, still the same. So I have no idea how tall I am now. They must all be different

    At my last doctor's visit I was about 1/2 inch shorter and I have no idea why so it is very interesting to hear that other have had this experience too. I'll be curious to see what my measurement is the next time I go in. Maybe it was just one weird measurement or maybe i really am shorter.

    I'm so glad you mentioned the shrinking of the feet... I thought I was just a freak of nature! All of my shoes are literally falling off my feet. Just a darn shame that not only do I need a whole new wardrobe, but also a closet full of new shoes! lol! It's a GREAT "problem" to have isn't it?!
