how do you really know if you have a small/ med/ or large frame?
Mikimi, I found a really good one to use here. And you can use metric on it. I hope it works for you. Liz

HA! My husband and I were talking about this last night. I wasn't online, so I didn't see the thread. I always thought I was large-framed too. But the more weight I lose, I am definitely not large. I did the wrist measurement and it's right at 5.5 and I am 5 feet tall on the dot. So I must be medium. I know when I buy tops now the shoulder seam sits lower on my arm, so I don't have the broad shoulders I used to think I had.
When I measured mine, I got 6.5" and I am 5'3" which is why I said I was a large frame.
So that that tells me I should weigh between 131 and 147.
When I was in the army I weighed 146-147 at first. But they had us on the go constantly and I could eat my weight in food. I actually gained weight during Advanced Camp for ROTC but lost 12 inches.
But that was almost 30 years ago and I am no longer 27. I am 56 and have a very bad back. Can't workout like I did back then.
