Re: how tall are y'all? I'm about 5'2". I'm pretty short but since I'm a girl, it doesn't really matter cuz most of the girls I play with are 5'6", 5'7". But I don't know, what determines how tall you'll grow to be? Is it based on your parents or something?

So if one side of your family has like 1 VERY tall gene but nobody gets it until you... you can be taller than your parents... or if its a VERY short one you can be shorter than them... I had biology last year :happy0144:

Re: how tall are y'all? I don't think you can measure it online. I know in my phys ed class we had to measure that by some machine thing. Holy crap Tony, 110%? That's like, impossible. So you don't have any muscle, and lifting weights is just screwing you even more?
Re: how tall are y'all? I weigh 126 pounds, and I did a test online, and it said that I have 19% body fat..

There's probably other sites that do it differently, but here is one: link. It will not be perfect, it's just a rough estimate of your body composition.Other ways to test are by using calipers (basically you pinch your skin with an instrument to get a pretty accurate reading of how much fat you have in different areas, then average it, I believe) or by using a an electrical impedance device. If I understand it correctly, it measures your fat based on how electricity moves through your body. Probably the most accurate way to determine body fat is to get measured in a water tank, but it's not really convenient for most people (yay Archimedes). There's your science lesson for the day.

Although, how do you measure your waist circumference?</div>With a tape measure? If you're too lazy to find one, you can do it with dollar bills and estimate... they're exactly 6 inches.
Re: how tall are y'all? use measuring tape. or just look at the size of ur pants (if they fit comfortably not baggy)
