    This is a very odd but fascinating topic. Tomorrow I'm going to be looking at everyone's wrists!

    I have 5" wrists and HUGE hands. My elbow joints are also very wide, so my arms tend to get me the "You look like a holocaust victim!" remarks. I can completely cross my middle finger and thumb over my wrist. It's pretty gross. I wear a lot of long sleeves because of this.

    Trade ya. I have 7inch wrists and am only 5'2. I have short fingers and broad palms too. Freak of nature I am. Course the more I read about differing frame size it would explain why I was always a stocky girl even when I was a lower weight.

    I think what you really need at this stage is to build muscle so that your arms will not look that small. Mine is at 9.25", used to be 9" but added a bit of muscle to those forearms now.

    Me too! At certain angles and in certain photos, my arms look gross because my elbow joint is so wide and my arms/wrists are small! It looks okay most of the time but if I open my arms out (Like a starfish) it makes my elbows look big & knobby. It looks normal most of the time, but I looked like Starvin Marvin when I was 15lbs lighter, with belly fat.

    My mom said my aunt always had big elbows too.

    that's my goal, I hired a personal trainer to work with me at my gym until I learn all the equipment . I'm really excited because is my first time getting into weight training.

    Whoa whoa whoa, someone said they have 4" wrists?? I just made a 4" loop with my measuring tape and that's like... my cat's wrist. You are measuring the circumference & not just the width, right? Wrapping the tape AROUND your wrist like a snug bracelet?

    Her HW was 130 and her goal is 100, so I'm guessing she is very short and very small-framed.

    I'm 5'7 and my wrists are small...maybe 5-6" i haven't measured them. But what's worse is my hands look like a child's. they have not grown since I was 11 or 12. :( people make fun of them a lot.
