When you've shrunk..... (You that is, not clothing in the wash)

I always enter my height as 7ft 6in, then my BMI is normal

Sigh! This is serious! p

Should be the original ( not birth) height

Dunno where the p came from.

Oh that's great Galen!

Okay Jings, I'll be serious! It should be your height before shrinkage.....sorry!

That's interesting. I'd always assumed that I should use my current height. My BMI isn't as high as I'd thought . Thanks Galen (and jings of course for raising the issue!)

I am not at all interested in my BMI. It is probably stratospheric (is that a real word?) more in the fact that my trousers which are more than a year old are trailing on the floor. I-Pad insisted on me having a BMW.

Current height simply because my scoliosis seems to have been straightened out a bit by Pilates and I am taller than ever!

Sorry nonnie that is not possible.

When I did mine I tried both 5' 4" and 5' 2" and then took my weight as between the two... As with my height now I'd have needed to lose more than I thought was necessary. I usually go with "if my clothes still fit" then I'm not putting on any weight, and that's fine. Funnily enough the last time the practice nurse measured me she said I was 5' 4 and 1/2" which is impossible and I've never been that tall so her measuring skills did worry me! I keep a mark on a wall to see if I'm losing any more height now!

I haven't shrunk yet. Still keep getting asked to get things off the top shelves, for little old ladies, in Sainsburys

BB That's probably me

Well I'm only 4'10" to begin with, so I can't afford to lose any height at all or I'll disappear completely!

You mean I shouldn't have been wearing high heels when I did this???

My clothes don't shrink in the wash - just in the wardrobe
