What's your frame size?

Small frame size when i really put my mind to it I say it comes off easily but not at a fast rate....but since my frame is so small it shows up quicker (I've lost 6lbs and already my co-workers are asking if I'm skinnier)

I would say I have a medium frame...I find I'm builidng alot more muscle so when i get on the scale it says i gained weight..but it's just muscle weight..i would rather see the numbers dropping on the scale. I have a hard time staying on a healthy diet though..so many temptaions out there..like ice cream haha!

I'm not sure if this belongs in success since its a question. But I'm wondering
1) what is your frame size (large, med, small)
2) and while having a healthful diet and exercising do you find you have an easy time losing weight, normal struggle or is it very difficult?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer!

Large...well large, large really. At about 6ft tall, I'm pretty thick however, I'm finding that the weight is shedding pretty quickly, almost comparable to the losses being experienced by my husband.

I definitely have a medium frame size, and I find losing weight easy as pie until I hit about 145lbs, roughly a BMI of 23 for me, but to get any lower is rough. Even with super clean eating and working out, I can lose fat, but my body just doesn't seem to want to drop the weight. GRRRR..

Anyways, I hope this helps somehow

Are you trying to find someone with similar stats to your own?

Medium. But I don't feel the wrist test is really valid. I hear about people losing inches (perhaps not full ones, but you get the idea) off of their wrists. I think I have a medium to small frame cos I gain weight very evenly so even if 134 on 5'5 isn't enough to really effect wrist size for most it probably does for me.

Frame size is an interesting question. Bone density varies a little human to human and with age and exercise. Physical exercise will create healthier more densely structured bones. What really varies from person to person is bone girth or the actual thickness of the bones. This also varies with race a bit.

On a personal level. I am Short 5'8" for a guy. and have always thought my self very heavy for my size even when in very good shape. I had the opportunity to have a full battery of tests done to look at all those things and found that despite my shorter stature, my bone thickness is high. As an outward example it is generally believed that wrapping one's hand around the opposite wrist and looking at the overlap or meeting of the middle finger to the thumb give a loose interpretation of bone girth. The group I was in had 13 people .of those twelve the middle finger wrapped to the thumb in 8 cases indicating average bone girth. 3 others were slightly overlapping about an eighth to a quarter inch. 2 of us were short by some distance on the wrap. the other fellow had a gap of about a quarter inch and I had a full inch gap. Afterwords, there was some electrical current tests and a water bath to check bone, fat, muscle contributions to overall weight. The tests were all consistent with the simple wrap method. So.... when I was at what I consider a good healthy solid fighting weight I was at 202 lbs and only 5'8".

Now to qualify all this I will have to tell you that at the time I was lifting (heavy) 4-5 days a week and I am naturally very large chested so i tend to be heavier than most my size. It always makes me laugh to see the "height / weight charts. by their direction I should be about 158 max. I was 155 out of HS when I ran every day and had about 6% bf by the old pinch methods back in the day.

Bottom line...everyone is different. Get to a healthy weight that makes you look and feel good.

I'm gladly a pretty easy weight loser as long as I'm regimented and track everything. I tend to stray easily though.

The wrist test is not all that accurate. My fingers touch indicating medium frame, but I'm pretty sure I have a large frame. I tend to be able to carry a lot of weight before I actually look fat. And the inverse to that is that I look pretty thin at a higher weight than someone with a smaller frame. You can use this calculator which I find to be accurate:

As for weight coming off, it depends on how hard I work. I tend to lose pounds slowly and consistently, but inches go away faster.

I thought it was forefinger? If it is middle then I have a small build....unless I got my mum's long hands. Yeah, not so accurate.

I'm large framed (I measured my wrists at work one day. I'm not skinny, but my wrists are kind of bony), but I'm short, so when I lose, people can tell. So far, the weight has come off pretty easily. I'm sure that will slow down in the coming weeks.

well.... Im 5'2 and mt recommended weight is between like 112 and 128 which I feel will be too skinny for my body frame. I think Im a med-large build so I think 135ish is a good weight for me. I have an extremly HARD time losing weight and feel like I must work xtra hard than others. I am curently at 184 and have been eating healthy and exercising most days and have on lost .5 lbs in 3-4 weeks. So I dont know the true answer to your question but my answer is...in my case it is frustrating due to slow weight loss for med-large build.
