I agree with WNTENERGY4LIFE .

I'm large framed and my healthy look is at 132. Around and below 126, people think I'm around 110 and tell me to start eating.

5'2" and large framed. I don't have any extra weight around my wrists, so I think it's pretty accurate. If you carry extra weight in your wrists, it would vary as you lost or gained weight. There should be a more accurate way to measure frame size.

I know a lot of women my height look their best in the low 100's (100-120). The lowest I've ever been is 122 and I look back at pics when I was that weight and I looked unhealthy. The best I ever looked and felt was 135-140. Frame size definitely has a lot to do with how much we should weigh. It's too bad I didn't know all this back in high school. I was so unhappy with myself because I didn't weigh 105-115lbs and wear a size 1-5 like most of the girls. I look back at pics and I looked great at 135 size 9. I was forever thinking I needed to lose 15 pounds, when I should have been perfectly content.

I don't buy into it because my bones shouldn't change and when I was thin, my fingers could sliiiightly overlap, but now there is a small gap. I have always considered myself a medium frame.

I am large boned according to the wrist thing and considering the fact that I look too thin below the high end of the BMI range for my height I completely agree!

I am large-boned? by that thumb/middle finger method. that makes NO sense to me. medium boned, i can see. not large boned. i think it has to do with the additional fat i am carrying right now.

When I was in my 20's by your method I was small boned, now I am medium.

I'm definitely large boned then. Though my hips have told me that for years.

but isn't the thickness of your wrists affected by body fat levels? i had a harder time trying to get my fingers to touch when i was about 20 lbs heavier, and now they overlap

If you wrap your thumb and middle finger around the smallest part of your wrist and they over lap they say you are small boned. If they just touch then medium boned, and if there is a gap then you are large boned. There is also a test that you can measure and and be able to tell. Hope this helps.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to tell if you were a small frame or large frame? Do you measure something to find out?
