    Hi,

    I was wondering, if this big boned story is really true, and if there is anyone out there that has still achieved their goals with a bigger frame? I'm about 1.66m (5'5'') and weight 76.8kg (170), want to go down to 65kg (143), but I have always been told I'm big boned, and honestly I DO have some large shoulders!!
    Will I ever get the figure I want?? :(

    Any stories/advice/opinions appreciated :D

    Yes there is a such thing as people having different frame sizes. But, larger frame doesn't mean anyone should have a very high BF%. A healthy amount for women is 25%BF.

    I have fairly fine wrists/ankles, but big-*kitten* hips - so maybe I'm a combination of big and small bones :)

    Even when I was a fit teen at 17, I was "stick thin" and weighed 185lbs while my friends were around 155-170lbs. I'm fat NOW, but I wasn't back then. I used to love winning prizes at the carnival weight guessers who always guessed low. In high school and college I had a linebacker's build due to weightlifting and sports.

    I've also been told more than once by X-ray techs that I had very thick, solid bones after they viewed my X-rays. So, yes, I believe big boned is real. But let's be real...big boned can't account for 30-50 or more lbs. LOL
