frame size test-100 pounds lost

[zolumpus]

I can't even touch those 2 fingers.My pointer finger is about 1 hair apart,or barely touching.Me and some of the gals on our weight loss thread were talking about how the 1st time we heard the dr say obese,and morbidly obese.We thought they were talking about someone else,not us,because we weren't all that big back then we didn't think.But according to their little charts,we were.Now that depresses a lot of folks.It shocked a few of us.I was only 140 back then.Morbidly obese he called me.Geesh!

[berviify]

Very interesting

[iwillbeaperfectme]

Thanks for the tip. Of course I have short fingers....

[WeightLossDiary2009]

Hey! You're looking great! Thanks for the fun interactive video.

[TheNewChristina]

Wow! I can't even get my fingers around my wrist! :(

[CrynOut]

Wait a second, I realized you said index finger, but you used your middle finger. I guess I have a small to medium frame. That makes more sense.

[CrynOut]

I don't consider my frame to be large, but I have very short fingers.

[hislivingsacrifice]

Great video!!!

[ANGIEfromAtoZ]

love it 5 stars from me : )

[Sadekat]

Hmm, I've always been told I have a large frame, but just because I am nearly 6ft tall doesn't make it so! I have fat wrists but can touch my fingers. Wouldn't it be something if I was a 'big girl' trapped inside a little girl's body! HA!

@Sadekat

You need to start making videos again. I enjoyed them and your funnyness,

[saloneffects]

yay, I'm a small frame size! I gained about 100lbs gradually after I went away to university . It's slowly coming off now that I've started eating more raw foods. But it's funny that my friends who have only known me for the past 8 or 9 years cannot picture me being any smaller than I am now 230lbs but when I go home to visit, my family is like "Please do something about your weight!" they are used to seeing me at 130lbs. I try to tell my friends that most of my life I was skinny.

[macomarell]

@saloneffects

I wasn't obese as a younger person either. Losing weight is very hard to do when we get older so I hope you get the weight off if that is your desire.

[Rachele77]

Good video! <3 R

[macomarell]

@Rachele77

Thanks, works for me.

[crosspecans]

very interesting...thanks. at least it gives me a weight to shoot for. waves~~~

[macomarell]

@crosspecans

Very good, my point indeed.

[rosealvarezc21]

Glad to be watching your videos again...welcome back :)

[macomarell]

@rosealvarezc21

Thanks, back and feeling great.

[KarlaKayM]

I have a medium frame....thanks for the tip~

[macomarell]

@KarlaKayM

Good Karla, glad you liked it.

[coquinat]

My frame size is medium to large

[coquinat]

Is that a Moravian star?

[macomarell]

@coquinat

I don't know what kind of star it is. It is a candle holder with mirrors on all surfaces. I love it.

[macomarell]

@coquinat

Good, I found it enlightening to know my frame size. It explained my weight problems I have had most of my life.

[Imskinnyinside]

My fingers over lap but there's no way I should weigh 110-115 for my height. I weighed 110 in fourth grade and I was a scrawny thing. When I joined the army I weighed 138 which was overweight on paper and the doctor lied and changed my weight because he said if I lost anything I'd be unhealthy because I was already too thin. I don't trust those charts.

[freshfoodiefitness]

i don't either. they say i should weigh 120-140 if i have a large frame! and i have a medium-large frame. that's crazy thin for me. but those charts are right for a lot of people.

[macomarell]

@freshfoodiefitness

Thank you, the charts are right for a huge number of people, the ones that want to use them.

They are very useful guidelines. If they weren't there to use what would we use. Guess?

[s2macdon]

Ya, weight tables don't account for muscle.

[macomarell]

@s2macdon

I don't have much muscle in my wrists. Do you?

[s2macdon]

haha - no, not in my wrists!! lol

I was replying to @Imskinninside's comment that when she joined the army, she was already too thin, but according to the charts she was overweight.

[macomarell]

@Imskinnyinside

I don't know how tall you are but I weighed 100 pounds when i was 13 and was over weight.

I weighed 120 when I graduated hi school and was still over weight. I weighed 135 most of my adult life and was overweight. Right now I am 136 and I am overweight. I still have ugly fat deposits to melt.

My daughter is 5ft 6 and weighs 118, she looks fantastic, not scrawny at all,

Charts are averages, maybe you are not average.

[BethinNCblogger]

When doing your test, my fingers overlap too. So either I have long fingers (I am 5'9") or I am small framed. All I've ever heard my entire life, "Oh Beth, you're just have a big frame" as if that is an excuse to be fat. Argh! Wouldn't it be something if it was small all along? Ha.

[macomarell]

@BethinNCblogger

Glad you saw my attempt at humor and to let people know this wasn't a serious test.

I have heard the big frame crap too. So maybe without this type of test and chart that is how we learn our frame size. Idiots telling us how big we are. Sad indeed.

Being told I was fat all my life, I am enjoying my new found small frame.

I bet you are small framed. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. It happens.

[EyeWearMySunglasses]

Also Marjie your body is an apple shape like Angelina Jolie, you tend to carry weight and put on weight first in the abdomen...and rib area.

Ive never been a skinny bitch but i do know my wrist size varies with water retention and weight

[aims2BEfitYUMMYmummy]

thank you for this vid 'cause my husband recently asked me what my frame size was and i was like, 'uh... i dunno?' lol

[LastChance4Me2Lose]

I heard of this before...I checked mine like probably a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to find a bra for me and I'm a medium frame since my fingers touch each other. But hey it's a very interesting way to find out what your frame is, it's really cool

And by the way congrats on losing those 100lbs *clapping*

[oopspaw]

this was super interesting marjie! i am totally going to check out the web site you put in the side bar. right now, my fingers don't touch! but there's a bit of fat in the way! hahaha ... =D
