How on earth did I manage that?!?!

[NiaX]

Well, I've had a bit of a 'dim' moment!

For some reason, I thought I was 5ft 8. It turns out, I am 5ft 6!

This means I have to adjust my weight by a whole stone to ensure I have a healthy BMI

Soo...I've made my adjustments and am getting on with it. I haven't set my target and won't even be thinking about it for a long time yet.

Now, lets just hope I don't shrink over the next few years. I couldn't bear to put another 14lbs on my ticker!

Wowsers, a whole STONE for 2 inches??? Man, that BMI is strict! I believed I was 5' 7 - 5' 8 tall (since high school) discovered just over a year ago when doctors took my height that I'd either somehow shrunk to 5' 5.5 (or maybe just wishful thinking?). My mum reckons women shrink everytime they have a baby...don't know if there's any scientific truth in that though!

I thought I was 5ft5 but turns out I'm 5ft4 so had to adjust to get a healthy bmi. My nana reckons it's because I've lost weight off of my feet lol

Hahaha, that's very funny. Lol.

I used to be 5'11" but apparently I am now only 5'10. I refuse to change my stats though!

 

[NiaX]

Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

I've not had any children so I can't blame it on that lol.
I think I'll go with your nanas reasoning Wannabe Skinnymini!

This happend to me too!
I always thought I was 5'1'' turns out I'm 5' 0'' How can I be so short!
Was 3lbs away from a healthy bmi, now I'm 6lbs away.
Healthy bmi is now 7st 4lbs - 9st 4lbs. New target is 8st 4lbs
The thing is my body doesnt wont to got below 8st 12lb, thats were I got stuck the first time that I tried SW x x

I have just measured myself (because of this thread) and it turns out I am 5'3 instead of 5'2! Off to see what my bmi is!

 

[NiaX]

Ooo, that's fab Divster!

 

[Shrimpy]

When I started I was 5ft 1, now... 4ft 11 3/4 inches! I've lost actual centimeters!!!! Grr! I believe its from losing the fat on my feet. Man I had fat feet before- clearly!

 

[CAPRICORN]

oooooooooh how freaky

I was 5ft 4.5 when I started SW and I remeasured a while ago and found I am now 5ft6 :bliss:, but I was so heavy in the first place that I must have been "squishing" my spine down -so as I lost weight I gained 1.5"
I think I prefer my result -for once -a number that we all want to be higher not lower :giggle:

 

[Niicolaa.x]

I've gone from 5'2" to 5'2.5" okay it's only 0.5 of an inch but it's an improvement aha

 

[dreamslim]

All of this talk is making me think I should get measured. I'm 5' 3.5", I don't want to lose height but becoming magically taller would be good. Haha.

 

[Loopy-Loo]

Random fact! Ur taller in the morning than u are at night due to effects of gravity, and unfortunately we can shrink as we get older due to decreasing bone and muscle density! X

 

[NiaX]

Thanks Loopy Loo - I think I'm going to measure my height tomorrow morning and stick with that lol!

 

[beckyblue]

I think I'm 8ft 3 with a perfect bmi! Hehe not measuring myself as I truely believe this! Lol
