I Grew Over 8 Inches!!!
Hey Guys, this is my first post here, and I just wanted to tell you how I grew over 8 inches!!!
Okay, well in 6th grade I was only like 4'11'' (which was really short for my age). I constantly had people picking on me because of my height and was constantly depressed, even my brother in fourth grade was the same height as me! Today, I've started the 9th grade and am almost 5'7''. This is how I did it.
1) I started eating ALOT. For breakfast I'd eat cerial and drink all my milk.
2) For lunch at school I would have either the school lunch w/ milk or buy a pizza w/milk, and if still hungry buy a chicken sandwhich.
3) On the way home from school my mom would buy be a egg burrito and I'd eat it all
4) At home I would have whatever dinner my mom made, and later maybe some cerial.
5) Every morning and night I would do like 20 minutes of yoga at least, and that was pretty much my only excercise. Within like my first two months I had grown like an inch and a half!
6) Also what helps is riding your bike with a raised seat and swimming. (I didn't do either of these like my first 4 years, but still grew from stretching and eating alot)
7) Beleive it or not, I stayed really skinny throughout these years (despite my huge eating) because I grew so much!
This is a true story, I swear. Both my parents are like average height, but I used to be in the 15% percentile in growth, now Im like in the 50%. Everyone was amazed at my growth, I received many compliments and stuff!
You guys, its not just genetics (my moms 5'4'' my dads 5'11) and my brother/sister are still very short, but its comitment, you can grow despite what any doctor or teacher says, everyone told me I couldnt grow past 5'8'' as my adult height, and look at me now!
You just gotta beleive! Good luck guys!
Current Height (November 19): 5'6'' (166.6 cm)
Goal (by January 1st): 5'8.6" (172.7 cm)
Goal (by adulthood): 6'1''
Dream height: 6'2''
Mom: 5'4'' (162.5 cm)
Dad: 6' (182.8 cm)
I CAN DO IT!!!

Oh sorry I wasn't specific. What I mean was, the doctors all predicted my adult height would be 5'8'', but then I grew A LOT, and now doctors predict my adult height will be around 5'11''-ish.
Even my doctor said that my growth was like nothing he'd seen before! But like I said, stay commited and beleive you WILL grow! It will happen, no matter how old you are you WILL grow! I know all these people who grew past age 25 or even some past 30!

RE: I Grew Over 8 Inches!!!
Hey Guys, thanks for all the replies so far!
First off, it wasn't a late growth spurt, I only had like a 3 inch growth spurt, and after that stopped growing, until I started stretching/etc. again.
Basically, my routine was pretty basic and did not involve using lots of money. The only thing I bought was centrum vitamins and thats it! Next, you want to make sure you do these stretches from this website like 30 minutes in the morning and at night, although now I do them about 10 minutes in the morning/night. http://www.freewebs.com/supertaller/index.htm
Also, don't measure yourself everyday and become discouraged, measure yourself every like 2 or 3 weeks. I also never did many sports, but I heard they cause growth hormone to be produced, and I am now involved in a sport like 3 times a week for 40 minutes.
Also, get lots of sleep, drink your milk, and eat mini wheats (or kix) for breakfast!
Most of all, stay positive, you WILL grow!
Current Height (November 19): 5'6'' (166.6 cm)

Mom: 5'4'' (162.5 cm)
Dad: 6' (182.8 cm)
I CAN DO IT!!!

What stage are yo on? Are you having growth in your legs, or your torso?
and lastly...are you careful about your posture in school. I find it hard to maintain when I reading a book.
Short term goal: 4'11.75"
Long term: 5'
Dream height: (5'7"-5'8")
