I could only see this happening if there were several conditions --
*The person is short
*The person has a fast growth rate
*The person has great retention
*The person was full APL almost BSL
But thats just what I think. I would like to see if this is possible though. Has anybody gone from APL to WL in a year?

This time last year I was full APL (just shy of BSB) and I am about an inch shy of WL now. I get about the average growth per year. However, I have a really long neck so APL on me is longer than it seems to be on others that I seen. There is also quite a bit of space between APL and BSL so at full APL when the majority of my hair is actually grazing the top of my bra strap my hair looks really long. The flip side to that though is that I am high waisted so the distance between BSL and WL on me is relatively short. BSL on me is pretty much the same as MBL, and WL is only a few inches (about 3) past that. So, while it takes me forever to get to full APL once I am there the journey from that point to the next milestones (BSL, MBL, WL) goes relatively quickly.
In the end I think it all depends on one's body proportions.

I also think it depends on body proportions.
Share with us how many inches do you have between each milestone
APL -> BSL ?
BSL-> >WL ?

Does WL = belly button?
Whats the difference between MBL and WL?

APL -> BSL (/MBL)= about 4 inches (I wear my Bra lower APL to BSB is about 2 inches)
BSL->WL= about 2 inches
But then I get another long stretch because WL-> HL= about 4

so you want to retain 10 inches in one year ? If usually your growth rate is one inch per month, so yes you can do it.

that's nice !! do you know/remind what was your growth rate in 2011?
my length retention was nice these past 6 months, I was also in the 2 inches in 4 months, if you do something like dat "2 inches every 4 months" and that your retention tips are on point, you will achieve APL to WL in one year
(it makes me want to do something crazy lol opening a challenge thread

im gonna take ages...lol long neck, long back...long everything
what, that's crazy. I must've done something wrong. I get 1 cm a month, so that's 12 cm a year. I put 24 cm in the converter! when in fact it's 24 cm between APL and WL for me. so 2 years! ow god I can't wait 2 whole years for WL
the converter thingy im using says 12 cm is 4.7 inches. can't believe Krystle~Hime just politely said 'if you get an inch per month, then yes you can do it' took me a few minutes 2 get that

greenandchic for me, MBL is between 1 and 2, i just tell to myself "the point in the middle of BSB and WL = Mid back 
and that's weird because my middle is only 1,5 after BSL, for me it doesn't make sense so I just say that it's not an important milestone.
Spongebob, girl , i think that's okay because there is no rush
retaining 4 inchs is already awesome !! 4 inches is my goal for 2012.
g.lo don't do that, i see you

greenandchic, personnaly, waistlength line is at the narrowest part of the torso. and on my body this narrowest part is where there is the belly button.
but on the pic with the white girls in bikinis shows that it's not always like that !!

My belly button (and everyone else I've noticed) is an inch or two below natural waist. Interesting thread.

It would not take me very long as I have a short torso and I am only 4'11". I bought 20" extensions once and they gave me hip length hair lol I think between APL and WL for me is 8 inches or so? And my hair grows about 3/4 of a inch per month. So it would take me about a year, yes.

Yes, it's possible, depending on how many inches you have between your current point at APL and waist. Your growth and retention game must be super tight, and of course your growth is dependent on your individual growth rate. I do believe there are ways to optimize your rate with consistent use - vitamins, supplements, external growth aids, exercise, scalp massages, healthy diet (protein drinks, green smoothies - 
). Njoy was shoulder length (right above APL) and went to grazing WL in one year. So it is very possible. Develop a plan, stick to the plan, keep an image of yourself with WL hair in front of you, BELIEVE that you can achieve your goal, and don't let anyone discourage you if you choose to shoot for WL. What do you have to lose?

Co-signing on everything that WantNatural said. Develop your plan, stay focused, and worry not about nay-sayers.
That said, I'm 5'4" and APL to WL on me is 9.5 inches. APL to BSL is 5.25 inches. These are the times when I both love and hate my long torso .

Does WL = belly button?
Whats the difference between MBL and WL?
@greenandchic "waist" is the narrowest part of your torso wherever that may lie. For some it may be at belly button but for most it's above:
For this lady waist = belly button level:
For the lady below, waist is above belly button:
And the difference between waist and MBL is while waist is the narrowest part of your back MBL is just what it says, the middle part of your back. See diagram below:
Spongebob Since we're all unique, no one's distance from one milestone will be the same as another's so there's no one who can tell you how long it will take to get from one place to the other. Only you can. Coz you can figure out how much retention you get by taking monthly measurements and then you can figure if you get 4 inches a year, and you have 4 inches between milestone then it'll take a year. If you retain 6 inches a year, then you know you'll pass that milestone and will be headed to another one. No one will ever have the exact same story as another so asking how long it takes others won't tell you how long it'll take you, nor can we tell you anything about YOUR journey without a history of what it's been thus far.

Krystle~Hime I got a little more than 6 inches this year but I was also very aggressive with my trims so I am still an inch shy of WL. I was looking at that 2 inches in 4 months challenge but I think I have to stay away from that. I am worried that joining a challenge like that might cause me to backslide into my non-trimming ways... I have been delivered from that; I can't go back
