Actually, it is possible to get a little taller when you lose alot of weight. Extra weight causes your spine to curve a little more. It also causes the cartiladge between the bones to compress a little. Both of these things will make you slightly shorter. So when you lose weight, you will "spring" back up.

P.S. I sure hope that tax schedule you have on your personal page is a joke.

Makes sense to me. I certainly stand and walk a lot straighter than I used to.

The tax table is food for thought and to make a point. The actual rates are negotiable but the general idea is not. We need to reward our highest producers, not punish them. But perhaps that is an argument for another thread!
