    5'9" CW 155lbs, my body is "comfortable" between 140-145, but I want to push it to 135. I have a small bone structure so I know at 135 I will be the most fit I can be :)

    5'9" with an medium frame

    cw 170 and size 10 / 29-30 bottoms
    gw 145-150 and size 6 / 27-28 bottoms (any smaller and I look emaciated)

    I'm focusing on increased strength/muscle toning in addition to lowering my body fat % over a particular weight or size.

    EDIT: Correction. By posting the wrist size to frame chart, I realized I am actually a small frame. I never would have guessed that. My wrists are 6", but (I noticed some were posting ankle size) ankles are 8.5" Does anyone have an ankle chart?

    Would having a 6" wrist be considered large frame? According to the charts it is, but when I weigh anything over 150, I look heavy...so now I don't know? Silly question, I know, but one I would be interested in knowing (based on all of your experience).

    For heights over 5'5", no.

    Women:

    Height under 5'2"
    Small = wrist size less than 5.5"
    Medium = wrist size 5.5" to 5.75"
    Large = wrist size over 5.75"

    Height 5'2" to 5' 5"
    Small = wrist size less than 6"
    Medium = wrist size 6" to 6.25"
    Large = wrist size over 6.25"

    Height over 5' 5"
    Small = wrist size less than 6.25"
    Medium = wrist size 6.25" to 6.5"
    Large = wrist size over 6.5"

    I'm 5'11, currently 260 and want to be 170-175. I looked healthy at that weight and it was within reason for my body. I can't WAIT to get there!!!

    I'm 5'10 and large frame (7" wrist) and by text book I should be 175lbs. I remember that size in college and high school ( running, & playing basketball,etc.) I don't want to look like that.... I just want to be down another 20lbs. Keeping it at 200..... Am I wrong?

    Thanks for posting this and for the answer! I am more confused though, my wrists are 6" around (where the wrist bone is) but my elbow breadth is 3" exactly...so I am small boned for my wrists and large boned for my elbows?? :noway: I am so confused LOL. But, regardless, I look the best at 135, so I am thinking small boned it is!!

    Yes, I always thought I was medium frame (and still do), but was confused by this. My wrists are 6", my elbows are 3", and my ankles are over 8". This is just a point of reference and not 100% scientific. How I interpret this is that I am on the smaller side of a medium frame. My "best" weight is around 145 (that I know of so far, that might change), so that's my goal.

    Super stoked about all of these beautiful tall ladies working so hard!!! I am 5'10 and currently 149 and working for 140. Have been as high as 198 in the past. I have a small frame (6" wrist) so shooting for the lower end of the BMI. Initially I wanted to be 130-135 but after two month plateau at 153 I decided I should start with a closer goal.
    rock it ladies!!
