For a woman my height, my weight should be 118-131 pounds to fall into the normal range for large boned women. No doubt about it, I have large bones and come from a family of large women. I set my goal weight at the high end of the normal range, at 136 pounds. I am not small boned and for me to be wishing to be 118 pounds would be a fantasy that is insane. [My 136 lbs goal weight was from a different weight chart that I was looking at but don't know where it is now. Not going to change my goal weight now. Don't want to be in the red zone all over again!]
Determining frame size: To determine the body frame size, measure the wrist with a tape measure and use the following chart to determine whether the person is small, medium, or large boned.
Click on my journal to read the rest. It has the Men's wrist size as well and the height weight chart I was referring to.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"
Men:Height over 5' 5"
Small = wrist size 5.5" to 6.5"
Medium = wrist size 6.5" to 7.5"
Large = wrist size over 7.5"
Here is the chart I was looking at that shows the different weights for the size of bones for women. Sorry, guys, you will have to google your own.
