Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 When I was 17 years old I was 6'ft tall. I am now 32 and 5'9 " . Does anyone know if the height comes back after the weight comes off? I would really like to know if any one has gotten taller. Memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 As we age (although 32 is hardly old) our vertebrae normally compress and we become shorter. I doubt that you will regain the height. I am 5' 2 " and shrinking, can I have a few inches??? Joanne Memory (am) wrote: > When I was 17 years old I was 6'ft tall. I am now 32 and 5'9 " .

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 I think that as you loose weight that your back will realign, and straighten up some therefore appearing as if your have grown some. Your back will curve more to redistribute your weight and center of gravity, as you gain weight (ever see a pregnant woman's back?). It is only common sense that it would straighten up some as you get lighter. You probaly won't regain that much but amy an inch or so. > When I was 17 years old I was 6'ft tall.
