I am darn there 6ft. tall and I currently weigh 183.4. I started 70 days ago at 210 pounds and have lost 26.6. I just took photos yesterday for the first time and I am going to make myself take photos periodically from here on out but I am so personal about me that I have to get used to the idea of posting them.LOL I am commend anyone that is brave enough to post theirs. I wish you the best of luck and if you want you can MFP friend me. Good Luck!0

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.
You look great! I'd wager that you have a lot of muscle.0 -

Well then I guess I'm small framed as I can overlap my fingers (not by much mind you), so maybe somewhere between small and medium framed, I suppose! This is surprising considering EVERYONE has always told me that I'm large framed because I have a small waist (35") and large hips (49"). My hands and feet are the thinnest part of me, though I feet are a size 10! I wear a size 5 on my ring finger! Go figure!
I think I've always thought I was large framed because I've always been overweight! So maybe when (not using the word "if") I lose the amount of weight I want to loose, I would see myself as "small framed". ??!!!What is considered a large frame?
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!0 -
bump for later. I have always been a big girl. Even at my lowest and most athletic build around age 15 I weighed about 170 (thought I was fat then!) I started MFP about 2 months ago and started my weight loss journey about 5 months ago. I have lost 34 lbs since then but I am no where near ready to post a before and after, but I WILL get there!0

Thanks so much! Yes, I do, especially in my legs. I rode horses competitively for 10 years when I was younger, so my thighs and butt are packing some heat under that fat cushion!0 -
Going by the below link, it would appear that I'm a small framed woman. Who knew?? Not me! LOL I'm 5'9 with a 6" wrist!:ohwell:Here's a link from the US Gubmit about frame size:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/17182.htm
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"0 -
You looke AMAZING!!Ok here are mine
This picture is from April2012 206lbs
This one is from July 2012 184lbs
Still work in progress!0 -
I'm pretty sure I have a med/large frame (dunno what hubs did with the tape measure). I definitely have broad shoulders which makes buying women's tops kinda suck. They usually fit fine/loose in the belly area and tight across the chest and shoulders. I feel very "fat guy in a little coat". I also have a weirdly large rib cage.
Here's the start at around 230 lbs.
Here's where I am now at 175. The plan was to get down to 134 but I seem to be stuck. Please excuse the awful lighting and terrible colors. My skin tone really isn't that hideous. lol
Here's what's going on down below. I'm standing on the toilet because I don't own a full length mirror and I feel stupid asking anybody else to help me take these pics.

I am 5'7". I started at 250. The before/after is at 50 lbs down. The pink bra is today, 60 lbs down. I think I have about 40 lbs to go.

As far as large frame well I'm 5'7" and I'm definitely never going to be one of those stick skinny girls (and am fine with that.) I don't have any progress pics 'cause I can never find anyone to take a picture of me but I'm down 34 pounds so far.0
