Hi girls! Whether you are at your goal weight or not, can you answer a few things for me?

How to measure your frame: Wrap your middle finger and your thumb around your opposite wrist. If your fingers overlap you are a small frame. If they touch you are medium. If they do not touch, you are a large frame.

Height:
Weight:
Pant Size
Shirt Size
Frame-

and if you have any old info back before you needed this site to lose some weight, that'll work too!

I'll go first:

Height: 5 9
Weight: 249
Pant Size: 18w
Shirt Size: 1X
Frame: Large

Old stuff:

Weight: 284
Pant Size: 24w
Shirt Size: 2X
«1345

    I'm not talking big bones vs small bones or whatever I'm talking body frame which is very real and is how our bones sit which is genetics. For example my sister in law is the same height as me but has a very small frame and weighs no more than 110 pounds. It would be impossible for me to get that low and going lower than 140 would be dangerous for me.

    Some people have wider/smaller hips or wider/smaller shoulders, etc. even if their height and sex are the same.

    Bone proportion variation exists... After all, two people of equal height can have different sized hands, shorter/longer legs, etc.
