5'5 3/4"

The doctors office, measures me at 5'4" they checked my bones I am doing fine.

Years ago I did alot of falling, may be that has something to do with height lost. 50 falls with in a 5 year period.

I am too! I've read What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause,(Dr Lee) and he states that postmenopausal osteoporosis is a disease of excess bone loss caused by a progesterone deficiency and secondarily a poor diet and lack of exercise. Furthermore he states that progesterone restores bone mass.

I recently read another book advocating the same thing; I've started to use a natural creame (not Lee's) just a small amount the size of a pea on fatty parts of my body! I've had bone density tests and they show my bones are good.

I would like to see weight bearning exercises added to the sparkpeople excerise section as well as walking...I'm big on walking!

Willows: Good point. I've lost height too.

Actually, I used to be 5'5-1/2".
At this point, I think I'm closer to 4-1/2".
