Girls with large frames progress pics please ?

I would but i dont know how to add pictures on here

Athena98501 - As I said, it's not an exact science; there will be exceptions. But in general it gives people an idea of their body frame, yes.

The best way to go is the wrist measurement vs. height.

I know. The part that amuses me is that it sounds like my hands must be bigger than yours, and you've got around 4" on me. My frame is friggin huge. :-)

I'm just under 5'10"




335 - 225; I've lost about 5-6lbs since that picture but haven't updated it yet. I also had baby number two five months ago.

I am only 5' 3", but I have broad hips and shoulders no matter what I weigh. Even at an ideal weight, I can never get into anything smaller than a size 8. In my case, the wrist measurement doesn't work because I happen to have small wrists and ankles--I can overlap my fingers and my wrist is less than 6" in diameter. But, that says nothing about the rest of me.

I'm 5'4" and have footballer shoulders too - and my wrist measures 6 7/8 inches = large frame. I just can't see how I'll ever look like some posters on this site - my ribcage is just too large! What a pity "big strong girl" is not the "in" look!

Exactly m'dear beattle1. My height is 5'8" and my wrist measures 1/16th shy of 7". My hips are NOT big, but my rib cage is. I have wide shoulders and narrow hips..talk about being built like a guy...but I am also 61 and really don't give a flyin' crapola about stick skinny, or curvy...never was, never will be. SOOOO what I have done is embrace my body type and build on that. I started out at about 302 and now I weight 201.6 (was down to 192 however, have been lifting and building muscle so not "dieting" right now).

My whole point is to work with whatcha got... Forget BMI, forget FRAME You know what your body looks like... as the song says, "You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between"

Kudos to all the ladies with the courage to post their shots!! You look amazing.

I'm 5'5" with a rugby player's build. Started in October 2011 at a whopping 270 lbs. Today, I'm right at 170. The "during" shot was taken yesterday after a 5k. I'm hoping to lose another 25 lbs or so, but my real goal is to be fit and look good naked :happy:

Not sure how to post pics in the forums but my profile pic somes progress pic. Large frame, 5'10. I'm about 1/3 of the way to my goal weight. I've lost 7 in in my waist. I couldn't even get the pick top on 3 months ago. Good Luck on your journey! Anyone is welcome to add me!!

Here's a link from the US Gubmit about frame size:

I am 5'8" and have a 6.5" diameter wrist, so a large frame. And, I actually have moderately bony wrists (and legs. It's all in by belly. Thanks, genetics.), so no one can say it's because I have fat wrists. Just "fat bones, LOL." What kind of crunches does one have to do for THAT??

I have no after, so no before pics yet. But SOON.

ETA: Basically, because of frame size, I get rather eye-rolly about things like BMI. It's such a narrow view on body type and what's healthy. I really think can can promote poor body image.

wow didnt know this, thanks ever so much. im large framed, 5'5" and my wrist is boney and measures 7"

I feel like I have a larger frame, as my shoulders are broad and my hips are wider. Even thin, I still have an athletic and curvy shape. This is me several years ago at about 240. I started MFP (no official before pix though) at 233.




This was me a few weeks ago at 197.



My goal weight is 175 and I should be in size 10/12. I'm in 14s now, so some might say that I "carry my weight well." I don't know! I will still be technically overweight.
