Questions/Advice has anyone lost 50LBS+ and gained a bit of height?

forsure losing weight won't make your bones grow longer, but I wonder how much pressure weight puts on the spine, making an individual "lose height".

Miscellaneous my legs were actually too long for a bus seat today

4 Upvotes

i know i’m not very tall compared to most people here, but i am 5’11 (180 cm) as a woman with a 38 inch inseam (97 cm)

i was sitting in one of the elevated seats where the bus transitions from the lower level to the upper level. so it was slightly smaller than some of the other seats

it was only once more passengers got on and i was trying to make room in case someone sat beside me that i realised that my legs were actually too long to sit properly. when i tried to move my legs i just pushed the seat in front of me with my knees. i had to sit with my legs to the side and probably looked like a massive prick

what a weird experience, how about some more leg room, bus companies ?

Discussion Any tall navy or marine vets?

9 Upvotes

I’ve started volunteering on a decommissioned aircraft carrier that’s turned into a museum(The USS Midway) and it’s so high key hazardous as a tall person. I constantly have to duck, hunch over and make sure to try and not bonk my head on things. I’m not even that tall, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I was taller. What was it like for any tall Navy or Marine veterans? Were you constantly uncomfortable and having to watch your head?? Everything seems to have been made ergonomically with average height or below people exclusively in mind.

Discussion I never thought ceiling height would come into play during the house hunt…

Obviously we all know we need a tall ceiling. But I never realized just how many houses can’t even support 6 foot 3.

I've never been to any Tall meetups. I'm geographically close enough to this one. I'm on the bubble but I'll know for sure tomorrow if I can attend.

Anyone ever been to this group's meetup, and/or anyone from this sub going ?

Can't see the lights when I stand close enough to touch the buttons (and the buttons are pretty much unreadable because they are in the shade).
