How do you go about determining your frame size? Is there a specific formula or way of doing it? I'm curious because I want to determine if my goal weight of 118 is small enough. Thanks!

Re: Determining frame size?
I used to have a large frame according to the wrist circumference calculation but after losing weight I work out to have a small frame!!Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: Determining frame size?
How do you determine the elbow breadth?
I am almost positive I have large frame. I am 5'9 for goodness sake lol. Others (including myself) have always considered myself "big-boned".
Ok, nevermind. Apparently I am medium framed. Hey that's good news for me lol!

Re: Determining frame size?
I'm 5'8" with small wrists but always assumed I had a medium frame due to my height but there are tall people with small and large frames. The elbow breadth is how wide your elbow is from one side to the other. I was shocked to find that I actually have a small frame. But that explains why I still have visible excess weight on me even though I am wearing what I thought would be my goal size.
