    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"

    Yep- 5' 8" and a 7" wrist, over here.

    I read these threads for some sort of validation that it is possible to have small bones but be large framed, so to speak! I am 5'10" with small wrists too. I always have told I'm small boned, but I have a wide frame - broad hips and shoulders. My ribs stick out too, even at close to 170. I'm glad to see that there are others like me!

    ETA: You are much thinner than me...lol, just talking about bone structure. :-)

    Here are my most recent before/after pics. So far, I have completed Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, and have started Ripped in 30. Pretty stoked about the progress so far!! Hopefully this provides some inspiration. (Sorry about the large pictures... I have no clue how to resize them.)

    I'm 5'3, 225.8 lbs, and my wrist measurement is like 7 inches... I'm a large framed lady. Doesn't help that I swam growing up.


    Here's to tearing jackets with your shoulders!


    I just realized the weight said 223.4 lbs... it's because I'm on a TDEE Metabolism Reset right now, so I've gained about a lb or so.

    I hope that this pic shows! This is just 8 lbs gone... Must have been all belly...LOL! I have recently been dealing with this yoyo thing with my weightloss but I am trying to remain encouraged and positive... I am 5'8.5 and 300. I've got a LONG way to go but it's progress nevertheless...

    Any helpful tips or tricks to successful dieting from anyone here would be greatly appreciated... Everyone feel free to add me. :happy:

    Oh this is perfect. I don't have any progress pictures right now but I'm something between 5'4 and 5'3.5
    Current weight 180 and i wear us size 8/10/12 depending on brand. Medium shirts.
    Seeing the large frame pics helps.

    My doctor told me I have 'big bones' and according to calculators I'm 'wide framed'. My wrists are over 6 inches, my elbows are over 9 inches.
