Although I'm not at my lowest (currently), I have a large frame (although I'm short)...I'll never see anything under 120lbs. b/c realistically my body just won't let me unless I'm in starvation mode. I'm currently 161lbs., my lowest was 138lbs. and my highest was 247lbs.

What is considered a large frame?

Well, it's not an exact science, but here's a quick way to find out...

Wrap your thumb and longest finger (generally your middle finger) on one hand around your other wrist. Be sure to wrap around the smallest part of the wrist....
- If your thumb and finger overlap, then you are small-framed.
- If they touch, then you are medium-framed.
- If they don't touch (have a gap), then you are large-framed.

{There's a good 1/2 inch gap between my fingers when I do this "wrist wrapping" test. I'm definitely large framed! I'm slightly over 5'8" and my wrist measurement is 6.55 - yup, large frame.}

Here's a site on more accurately determining body frame size - wrist measurement vs. your height:

**EDITED TO ADD: Oops, postrockandca beat me to the nlm.hih.gov site. It's a good'un! **

Btw- postrockandca, I totally hear you about the BMI. Even my doctor and nutritionist feel this way about it, and no longer use it because it doesn't take body frame into consideration. Totally outdated!

What's funny is that I used to think I had a large frame because I could barely wrapy my hand around wrist, after loosing 60 lbs I can almost overlap my fingers... wrists get fat too! Just something to keep in mind

Wrist size is generally a good indicator of your frame size, but wrapping your fingers around your wrist is NOT. The length of your fingers is not related to frame size... so if you have short fingers, your fingers may not touch even if you have a small frame. A better way to determine your frame would be to actually measure your wrist with a measuring tape and compare it to your height.

The wrist is usually not an area where you gain weight or muscle, so generally it's pretty accurate to measure. Not *always* but usually.

I'm not tall - only 5 foot 6 - but I think I have quite a large frame - big shoulders, muscular calves and wide hips.

Here's a mix of some recent photos and one from Summer last year after i'd had my 2nd baby. I was probably about 220lbs then and now i'm 174lbs and a UK size 14 (US 10) but can get onto some US 8s.
