How 'Average' Are You?

I just read that the average height of a woman in the U.S. is approximately 5 feet 4 inches, and the average weight is about 163 pounds.

YIKES!!! The average is 5'4 and 165lbs? No wonder people think I'm too thin/anorexic at 5'4 115lbs! Part of that is being on the unemployment/underemployment weight maintenance program for the past 3-5 years. The other part is getting genes from the small-boned side of the family.

Good grief, no one is taller here? I'm 5'7" (guess not average) and well, let's just say I'm certainly not anorexic but neither am I gargantuan, either.

I am 5'6" and about 140 - 145 lbs. Any thinner than that and my skin hangs.

I see a lot of you are shorter. That's the pads compressing between your discs in your spinal column.

I am still the same height at age ..... OK, age over mid sixty ... because of the yoga stretching.

I'm 5' 6" tall as far as I know. But maybe I'd better check because there seems to be a lot of shrinkage going on here ...

I'm just getting through the "mental-pause" stage of my life. Shrinkage and spinal disk compression to follow, I guess. And the fun part of this aging process is ...?????

I'm 5'3" again . . . I say that because I had always measured 5'3" but, during a physical when I was in my mid-40s and just about to be divorced, the nurse announced I was 5' 1 and 3/4"! I was slumping a lot in those days.

I weighed 106 when I graduated from high school. I stayed around 110 - 115 most of my adult life until evil menopause came. i was warned by women that I would literary wake up one morning weighing 15 pounds more. It's true! It happened! Then, I was without a car for six weeks and walked an average of 40 miles each week to get to work. That put me in the 118-120 pound category which I am satisfied with.

I'm another shorty - 5'2" lol. Haven't shrunk, as far as I know, but I do Pilates and I think that helps.
