Post a pic of yourself and tell us about yourself

Be prepared to shrink as you age - especially if you have osteoporosis. Your vertebrae will settle - kinda like a new house settles. I used to be 5'2" - and now I'm an even 5'. I have actually had to put a cushion on my seat in the car, to be able to see properly when I'm driving.

Glad I am not the only one who's "short" or "average" here LOL. I am 5'3". My mom is 5'5" and my Dad is 5'9" so I guess that's where I get it from LOL.

I'm very tall compared to all of you. I'm around the 5'9" range. My mom used to be 6'1" and my dad was about 6'. As they've gotten older they have shrunk in height so they seem more my height now. My two brothers are about 6'5" so I'm glad that I'm not any taller than I am. My mom was only 12 when she stopped growing in height so many people thought that she was older than she really was. I've always wanted to be shorter but being taller does help if you end up gaining a little weight because then it doesn't show as much.

Wow, everyone here looks great!

I guess I'll introduce myself now! My name is Erin and I am nineteen years old. I am also in the short group; 5'1 as well. I have a cat named Snow, a guinea pig named Lucky, a hamster named Theodore, and a betta fish named Charlie. Next month I will be moving out of my mom's home and going an hour away closer to school with a couple friends. My mom claims she is happy because "she won't have to deal with all the animals I bring home from school." Hehe I am a sophomore in college studying wildlife conservation. I plan on attending graduate school for marine biology post graduation. When I started college, my major was equine science; however, I soon realized that the horse industry was not quite for me.

This is me with the horse that I cared for my first semester of school. Her name is Pleasure and she was a complete sweetheart! She was pregnant and foaled in May.

Traci, you'd fit fine around me and my nieces, both of my older brother's girls are at least your height, I'm 5' 6" and Jenn, (Lady's Other Human) is about 5 7" I think, so you'd do fine with us! My friend Bonnie is 5' 10" and when she was drinking coffee at the age of 4, people always told her it would stunt her growth, to which she now replies "Thank heavens I did, or who KNOWS how tall I'd be!" It took me all the way past age 18 to reach my 5' 6", so I was not one who sprouted quickly like your mom!

There are folks of nearly every size and shape in our family, so being kinda in the middle, it depends who I hang out with whether I feel tall or short!

I am Johanna, and have been around here what seems like forever. I have a 9 (almost) year old son, Jonah, a lot of cats and a dog. I spend most of my time either being a mom or a lawyer, and wouldn't change my life for all the catnip in China.

This is a photo taken last month on a riverboat cruise. I usually don't wear my hair up like this. My bf's fraternity alumni group had a cruise. It called for a little extra attention, he he he, as my preferred attire is casual.

Johanna, you still look the same - or better, after all these years. Good to see you again!

[Cataholic]

Randi- how sweet of you to think so! Thanks.
