Never mind the avearge woman, I am taller than the average man and weigh less than him too - I never have been and never will be average!

I was surprised at the heights, to be honest. I thought we were getting taller as a nation.

I'm the shorty in my family, at 5' 6". My husband is 6'5" and my son is 6'4".

Probably the first time in my life I've been taller than average and have a lower BMI than average.
