    Heh, according to that, my wrists are as big as a large man's... and I am most definitely female.

    This is actually a myth.....I watched a show once where there was a "big boned" foot ball player. He said he was big because he was big boned. they did x rays of his entire body. They put the xrays next to those of a much thinner man. He was then asked to pick which ones were his.....he picked the skinny guys. Bones are bones.

    I just measured like they said and I am big boned. Guess I wasn't kidding when I said that after all. I think I'm happy about this in some strange way! ha ha Thanks for the link.

    I fall right in the middle/medium. 5'4 in height, never thought I was big boned (and this proves it) but I'm still aiming for my ultimate size to be 120. Don't think I'll be happy til that scale reads those numbers...and I'll do just about anything to reach it.

    According to that I am big boned, 6 inch wrist at 5ft tall! Hmm...not sure if I think this is a good thing or a bad thing, I always kinda thought I had small wrists lol

    HANG ON A SEC - this is a test for someone with like no fat on their wrist, if you're overweight you have fat on your wrists so you're gonna get a bigger measurement that has nothing to do with your bones, DUH.

    On another note you can be big boned, but it's uncommon, so stop making excuses and get on yer bike! (literally)

    Even at my thinnest I had large wrists, so I don't think I'd be out there for considering myself 'big boned', but I also recognise fat when I see it, and I am. Fat that is

    I am so jealous of the big boned who look great far heavier than me :cry:

    I have small wrists (6") but I know I am med-large FRAMED (that's the PC term these days). A size 6 is probably as small as I could ever get. I'm a 10 now.

    You could easily have a wider frame than most, but bone doesn't jiggle and if you poke into it, it is hard.
    Easy enough to figure it out.
