I stopped at 19-20.

I am 6" 1' tall.

I had a delayed pubertyand didn't actually grow till I was 17. Then I went from 5" 3' to 6" in one summer.

I got up between 5' 7'' and 5' 8'' at around 18 years and now I think I'm shrinking because pants with 30' inseams are too long for me (but they fit when I was younger). It's scary because those pants seem to be 4 inches too long which means that my inseam is only 26'?!?! That doesn't seem right -- I can't be shrinking that much?

Growth hormones are mostly secreted while you're asleep, IIRC, so I stopped growing when I started staying up late :D (15-16 yr?)

I guess I was around 16 when I hit 6' 2" @ 155lbs! Took me until I was about 23 to finally fill out to around 185. :)
