Seraphim Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I booked in my new dr today. I used to be 163 CM and now I am 160. How the heck does this happen 52???? Link to comment
nutbrownhare Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Awww.... commiserations, Seraphim. I'd lost a similar amount when I was last weighed and measured. I think it's down to the discs between our vertebrae losing a small amount of fluid with age. Only small amount from each, but given there are 33 of the little fellas, it all mounts up. You can mitigate this to an extent by ensuring your posture is that of an upright citizen, but that's about it really. Y'know, none of this gets any better with age. Treasure the 160cm while you have them! Lots of love, nbh xxxx Link to comment

melancholy123 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 People shrink as they age. My aunt went from 5'6" to 5'5" when she was in her 50s. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 True but I have lost just over an inch already 😱 Just 3 years ago I was 163 CM. People shrink as they age. My aunt went from 5'6" to 5'5" when she was in her 50s. Link to comment
Jibralta Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Oh, I’m so screwed. I have 7 herniated discs and counting.... Link to comment
Seraphim Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 As far as I know I don’t even have that! Ah! I mean I have bad problems with my lower spine but holy crap! My mom has the spine of a reptile and broke it 4 times and has a disintegrating spine and neck and she hadn’t lost height by my age . She has lost 2.5 inches but she is 73 now and needs a walker to even walk. Oh, I’m so screwed. I have 7 herniated discs and counting.... Link to comment
