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

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

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

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!

BB That's probably me

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

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!

Sorry nonnie that is not possible.

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

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.

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!)

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

Oh that's great Galen!

Dunno where the p came from.

Should be the original ( not birth) height

Sigh! This is serious! p

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