I turned 17 in the beginning of july :S so I didn't reach 168cm as my goal... But what can i do other than start saving up money? xD

I second that you should do an X-ray of your wrist. If your plates are fused you probably won't grow more than an inch.

Btw i don't know how you people have all this heights depended on time of the day. I maybe have a difference between morning and evening but it's like 4mm not almost 2cm.

But you reached 167, is very near. Yo should measure your Sitting height to see the relation between your legs and trunk.

Just measured my sitting height and it is around 86cm, I have a big ass though so that probably adds up a couple centimeters, idk.
I measured my sitting height sitting on the floor against the wall btw not on a chair, if that makes a difference.

Thanks guys for the tip but if I were to take thos X-rays and find out that my growth plates are fused (which they probably are by now anyways lol) I'm afraid I would fall into some super deep depression and feel even more sorry for myself. So I rather not know for sure and just hope that I will grow a few cms xD.

Honestly none of that matters.

Sitting height...
Wingspan...
Morning vs evening height...
Leg to torso ratio...
Stretching/yoga...
Glucosomine...
Diet/sleep/swimming...
Any other tom foolery this forum comes up with...

None of it matters. The only thing it does is make you obsess about your height.

Have your growth plates checked with a doctor and an xray.

If they are closed, decide if LL is right for you, or decide that LL isn't right for you and move on.

There are no other options.

CCMidwest has a great argument at the end, and looking at your growth I would expect you to be  169 or could be 170. So you can be 176 if you want(with LL).

Giving yourself hope will only lead to bigger disappointment.

My whole teenage years my doctor was assuring me that i will grow really tall(i took a lot of from my mom side which is really tall. There was even a chance that i could grow to be even 6'6 like my uncles) but look where im standing now, im 5'5 and didnt grow since i was 12yo.

You have very tall family, but did you check if you have something with hgh?

Edit Post

I'm actually going for hgh test in this week.

Besides that i have uncofirmed Hypothyroidism(i need to get 1 more test around christmas to be 100% sure).

Probably the worst thing is that even knowing that won't really matter now... i will probably stay being short stature.
