    Ok, I did the finger wrap thing and it didnt touch so I think it must be my weight. I have never been told that I have a large frame. Maybe in a few weeks they will touch. Who knows?

    I'm from New Zealand, so my sizes are different, but:

    Start Stats:
    Height: 5' 8"
    Weight: 295lbs
    Pant Size: 22/24
    Shirt Size: 2xl
    Frame- Large

    Current Stats:
    Height: 5' 8"
    Weight: 261lbs
    Pant Size: 20/24
    Shirt Size: 1xl
    Frame - Large

    I've lost 34lbs, and really wanted to fit into a size 20 pants comfortably, but I'm not far off! However my goal is to be in a size 16 pant comfortably, so I have approximately 76lbs to go, but I will assess that as I go :)

    I'm not convinced on the finger/wrist test. My fingers overlap, but I'm 5'5 at 140 lbs and still wearing size 12 (American) pants. My workout buddy is the same height and weight and is fitting into size 5. The finger/wrist test would suggest a small frame....but that doesn't appear to be the case.

    Another way to do it is to get measuring tape (the flexible stuff) and wrap it around your wrist around the two protruding bones.

    Go to this website to get what yours is: http://adam.about.net/encyclopedia/Calculating-body-frame-size.htm

    Ht: 5'9"
    Wt: 190lb
    Pants: 12/14
    Shirt: L - XL (big chest, lol)
    Frame: Medium - Large.

    I have to agree that the wrist size will not work on everyone, especially if you store fat around there, or you have very long fingers! One that I found that seems to be acurate is the elbow ... http://www.1is2fat.com/body_frame.htm
