My wrist is big and when I put my middle finger and thumb around it they touch. Am I big boned?

    6.5 inch wrist (at BMI 21, female). Still 34 inch hips.

    "Big boned"? LOL, LOL, LOL!

    My thumb and middle finger do not touch around my wrist, i have a normal/average frame, I'm 5"8 . I dont think this is a reliable test...

    Mine overlap and I have a large frame: big shoulders, big hips, big head, big feet LONG FINGERS.

    Wrist bone, with the bumpy part.

    use a measuring tape. Mine is 6" and I'm "big boned". The test is just to give you an idea of your frame size.

    It seems incredibly unreliable.

    i am overweight, still need to lose anoter 50 lbs but i can touch my finger and thumb around my wrist with no problem. i don't have exceptionally long fingers, but i do have very tiny wrists and ankles. my weight is in my b00bs and waist. :o
