Let's play small boned, large boned....

I am large boned at 5'7" my wrist is almost 7"!!!  I always new I was big boned.  When I was younger and weighed 140lbs I still wore a size 9 (size 7 by todays standards)  and everyone told me I looked anorexic!  Even if I weight 130lbs I'd still be in a size 7.......LOL

Heather, you're a good strong woman!  I love that!  :)

wow!  i've been told my whole life that i'm "just big boned"!!!  even from my teenage years!

my pcp told me a couple of months ago that i'm small framed!  what???  you've got to be kidding, right?

i'm 5'7" and my wrist is 6" (and a hair - way less than 6 1/8) so i guess he's right!  but i have huge size 9 1/2 - 10 feet!  but they are long and really skinny!  i weigh 143.6.....if i had PS i'd weigh several pounds less.  my ribs stick out....my shoulders are bony....i wear XS shirts and my NUT still says i need to weigh no more than 140......hmmmm!  and to be officially "underweight" i'd have to get down to 118.....to do that i'd have to cut off a limb!  so....i guess i'm pretty close to where i need to be!!!  having a hard time wrapping my head around that one!!

thanks for sharing this, Lee!  just have a hard time thinking about me having a small frame after many, many years of hearing "you're just big boned!"  but....in hind sight.....bones wouldn't have jiggled!

have a great friday, peeps!!!

Your post gave me a big old smile!  I love how small you are now what a miracle this must be for you.  Small frame.... who every would have guessed, eh?  :)

Looks like I am large boned.  I'm 5' with a 6.5 inch wrist.  I figured I was since my wrist is larger than my big husband who has Popeye arms...little wrist with big'ole muscles!   lol

Wow, maybe it's all that good kicking that you do that has kept you in such big strong bones?  I think that's great.  Sturdy women rock!

at 5'5 1/2" my wrist is a smidgeon less than 6 inches... I am small boned? with a really large rib cage being the only exception? okie dokie, if you say so.... i wear a 7 - 7 1/2 size shoe though...

Looks like small it is!  Others are commenting on big feet and small bones.  I guess it's not determined by our foot size.

I always thought I was large boned, I had huge broad shoulders but they seem to have shrunk in somehow!  LOL

I'm a titch over 5'6" and my wrist is 5 5/8" so I guess I'm not so large boned after all.

Not so large is right!  :)
