Hi I'm 5' 2'' and slimish , could never get past 7 stone at one time (skinny) but recently started to put the weight on. Blue eyes and dark brown hair with bits of grey Chris

Hi Nora I'm 5' 4" and neither thin nor fat. Don't have any curves either just a straight up and down boyish figure:-( Jeanette

Norah, I am 5' 6'' tall and as round as a ball. I don't know why some ladies do not like being tall. I would have given my "eye teeth" to be taller. When I was younger and thinner, I used to walk on 4'' high heels and dance in them. My brothers and sister are all much taller then me. We are never happy with what we have got. Lindy;-))

Was 5ft 10in. Shrunk to 5ft 9in. also slim. My Mum was 4ft 11in and I could look straight on top of her head. But by golly if you upset her, even I would jump onto a bed or somewhere high because a clout with back of hand with rings on smarts a bit. My dad was well over 6ft so when mum & dad walked together his arm was more round her head than her waist. That was definitely little and large. Sandra

Terri Thank you on behalf of all the GC members. That is a lovely thing to say. Thank you Norah

The kindness of the members , and their quick response to any one who needs cheering up, because they are ill, depressed, or lonely. Makes each and every one of you Ten feet tall.

Norah - I'm little and large!!!! Used to be 5'3" but as I get older I get shorter - honestly, I'm now only 5'1" and people who havent seen me for some time often say "werent you taller?" I can only assume that the inches I have lost off my height have gone straight to my hips (which incidentally are also 5'1") lol Jacqui

5"1 and shrinking, my mum is 0nly 4"10 tallest she ever were was 4"10 and 3quarters and she made sure you did not forget the 3quarters. tracy

5ft 2, eyes of blue!! Lynda

I'm 6' 2" and a bit (the bit matters), about 12 stone, with a 1 pack!! I hope everyone uses imperial measurements for this - it's harder to visualise in metric. lol.

Hi Norah, I`m 5ft 11ins, laying down, and the same standing up,and weigh about 15 1/2 stone. I don`t remember looking UP to anyone at a dance. Barry.

Im 5'9 and remember those evenings of standing up (while my friends sat) through fear of not being able to judge just how tall the man was as he walked over lol I hated being tall but have changed since the new generation have out grown us all. My 15 year old 6'4" nephew now pats me on the head and calls me shorty!

I am 5ft 9 and slim and would like to be several stones heavier, but don't put on weight no matter how hard I try. M.

Well being as some of us now have our photos on Darrens site (well done and thank you Darren),how about letting us all know which of the above you are. For my sins, I am 5ft.8in and in my earlier years how I envied you shorter ladies. If you are shorter and put on weight, you look cuddly, but at my height if I ever put on weight, I just looked hefty. Never ever satisfied are we. As a teenager going dancing, I always tried to be standing up, because if I was sitting and a fella came to ask me to dance, I don't know who was the more embarrassed, as I arose from my chair and gradually unfurled myself to be looking down on the top of his head. raofalmao at the thought.
