I used to be 4'11" 3/4 and now I'm 5'0" how is this possib!
Question: Last time I got measured was when I was about 18 at the nurse's office in h.s. Today I went in to a weight loss center and according to their measurements I'm 5'0" how is this possible? I asked her to check again and she said it was correct. Its just so weird.

that's not a big deal. You can grow 2 inches in 7 years! some people don't stop growing until they're in their 20's.
hmmm...do u want to be short? it's not weird.
wow weird but maybe you were still growing when you were 18
you don't stop growing until your mid 20's. also, that is only 1/4 of an inch that you grew.
you grew 1/4 an inch. no biggy!
You grow :)
I'm not sure.. But in one state I'm 5'2 all the time. Now that I moved no even a month later I was 5'1 3/4. It might just be their scales.
You still keep growing until about the age of 23-24. It is entirely possible that you weren't done growing.
I believe this abnormal phenomenon is usually referred to as "growth".
Posture.
uh... you ate to much
It could be you stand up straighter now than you did as a teenager. It could also be that you weren't done growing at 18.
thats fine hun, and its perfectly normal.
You don't stop growing until your early twenties. You obviously hadn't finished growing last time you got measured when you were eighteen : )
You grew a quarter of an inch in 7 years. happens
you grew. its not that unsusal to grow a last little bit in your late teens. besides, its only 1/4 of an inch. its not that huge
why are you worried about 1/4 of an inch?
It's probably just human error - either the nurse at h.s. mismeasured you by 1/4 " or the woman at the weight loss center did.
Or you weren't standing the same way both times. There are a number of factors that could change it. But I wouldn't worry about it.
I think you grew. My mum grows an inch/loses and inch every once in a while. Also, spine alighnment is an answer. you can be 5'9" in the morning and 5'7" in the afternoon.
sounds like you grew.....
Its just what happens! :)
Hey Burgundy ---- exercise can give you extra height !--- especially yoga and pilates- which over time will allow for greater intervertebral space----- its awesome, I was 5/4 when I married and am now 5' 51/2". If you are doing weight loss plan are you also exercising ?--- ? - great --- so many benefits in store for you if you are !
good for you, your growth wasnt done just yet. im 5'2 and i love being short (we can get into smaller spaces for like hide-in- go seek). im 22 now and i dont think i have grown since the 7th grade! no biggie though. love. oh its nothing to worry about.
maybe you grown after the age of 18 :o
Posture, different nurse measured this time, different scale or one that needed to be readjusted, muscles tighter or more relaxed that last time...could be lots of things. I'm 28 and every time I go to the doctor they weigh me and then ask how tall I am. I just tell them that I'm 5' on a good day and they write 5' on my chart. Or maybe you grew another quarter inch. It happens. Be happy you didn't measure a quarter inch SHORTER than before.
