    You look med-large frame to me.

    Wrist size doesn't matter much. I have small wrist and long fingers. But I have large feet, hands, hips, rib cage, shoulders and even head.

    But frame size doesn't matter much. Once you get closer to your goal decide if you are "there" or not based on how you think you look in the mirror.

    base your goal on body fat percentage, then you don't need to know your frame size. I agree with the person above, you look medium or large framed, though it's hard to tell. But when you base your goal on body fat percentage and get to a healthy body fat percentage it'll be obvious.

    large frame: big shoulders, ribs and pelvis, high end of BMI or even "overweight" range at a healthy body fat percentage, high lean body mass for height

    small frame: tiny shoulders, ribs and pelvis, low end of BMI or even "underweight" range at a healthy body fat percentage (when achieved the healthy way, i.e. without significant loss of lean body mass), low lean body mass for height (when this occurs naturally, not as the result of starvation

    medium frame: average on all the above

    although wrist joint thickness tends to correlate with frame size, there are exceptions, e.g. large framed people with small wrists
