The Tall Club.

Latest update....In the last 8 days I've been to two doctors' offices for nothing noteworthy...but....

According to their scales and height measurements I was 6'5 and 217lbs and then a week later 6'6 and 209lbs. I asked the second time if they were sure that it was accurate and the nurse said "Honey, this ain't a gym locker room scale.

Cheers to medical consistency.
(I'm 36 years old btw)

Huh, you said the one that registered you at 6'6" was a different one, Jase? The only thing I can think of is that you were standing slightly straighter. But that wouldn't explain the 8 lb. drop, of course...

Also, how thick is your hair? Silly question, but at one time my hair was so thick that they had to stick it through my hair to my scalp to get an accurate reading.

And #40, Jon.

Well, you live up to your name. :eek: We will need a pic for you, I think, but in the meantime, #45.

Also, how's the weather up there? That's about how tall I aspire to be, and have for a while.
 
Idk really. i was 5' 10" when i hit sixth grade and then 6' 4" when i finished 8th grade. then 6'6" as a freshman in high school where i commenced to put on weight for the football team. i was 6' 6" and only like 180lbs then by the end of my sophmore year i was 6'7" 240lbs. so i guess around 12 or 13ish i had it probably.
