Just wondering if anyone else got taller when they lost quite a bit of weight. I know it sounds funny but my shoe size has gotten smaller from a 9 to 7.5 and I have gone from 5'2 to about 5'3 again. So I need to recalculate my goal weight I think. I may be closer to my goal weight then I realize. I have been a little bummed cause I can't seem to get below 134 I think my body is happy here lol.

Better posture??  Not slouching because of excess weight pulling you down.  That would be my conclusion to be taller.  Smaller feet ....eggface mentioned that hers did that as well.  Had to go shopping for new shoes.  Bummer, shoe shopping?? :o)

I suppose it makes sence if your spine is being compressed it could cause you to become shorter. Most of my weight was in my lower belly. Sure I had the fat everywhere but my waist line was the hardest hit. I measured myself the other day and it said 5' 3.5 . With that losing 100% of my extra weight at 5'3 I should weigh 130 so Im not far off.
