    5'5" and "stocky" - broad shouldered, curvy hips, big thighs, and football player calves.

    I've gone from 275 to 215 (I'm a bit stuck right now) I was at 281 before I started.

    I'm still curvy and I'm betting I will always be, but I'm much happier (though I need to reevaluate to hit onderland :) )

    I went from a 22 to sitting pretty right now in a 16W (US) dress.

    What an awesome thread. I wish I had read it before I ate that crunchy bar! Still all is not lost lol.....

    I'm only 5ft 4 but I think I am fairly big boned. Big hips and 6.5 inch wrists. I'm only about half way through my journey but will look forward to posting my pics on here eventually!

    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:
    http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/17182.htm

    **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 Totally outdated!

    I just did the wrist wrap thing (I have bony wrists no matter my weight) and the touch and semi-overlap (5in). I have always considered that I am large framed though. I am 5'7" and when I tell people my weight they usually don't believe me. Cursed with big hips and a big butt and a short torso...

    I don't know if it because I live in France (I'm American) where all the girls are pencil thin with no body shape (hips, butt or otherwise) and short.. or if that wrist thing is dodgy.

    Anyway I like this thread, It gives me motivation. Good job to all of you!

    This is really hard for me to tell.

    When I was overweight, I definitely considered myself "large-framed."

    Now I consider myself very small, although of course the only difference is fat loss - not bone, obviously.

    My wrist is 5.5 inches around, but my shoulders still seem broad to me.

    I've still had no problems maintaining on the low end of my BMI range (18.6), so I don't know.
