Rep Power: 0 | |  Ideal Weight Calculator - including body frame
I finally found the way to measure frame size and the ideal weight calculator that includes that. It is important because your bones have weight, and even if you're the same height as someone else you may be built differently.
I have a large frame, My thumb and finger are about an inch away from eachother when I put them around my wrist. According to this site (which is highly accurate) my ideal weight would be: 131 - 147. So my goal for 150 is really quite decent.. and once I reach it I may invest in loosing another 10-15 lbs. http://www.fitnessonline.com/tools/idealweight/
This rocks! Finally what i have been looking for! |

Rep Power: 83 | | Thank you for posting this - I found a site two days ago that did the same thing, and I couldn't remember where it was 
From the site for my height and frame it says:
Based on your height, your ideal weight range is between 149 and 170 pounds.
My goal is 155 so I'm right in there!
Yay! |

Rep Power: 0 | | It says I should be 115-129 -- so, my goal of 110 is a little lower. I'm not sure if I am 'small frame or medium frame' so, I chose medium...

Rep Power: 83 | | To the left of where you put in your weight, it explains how to figure the bone size...
Put your right hand around your left wrist, if your index finger and thumb overlap, you're small boned, if they touch, you're medium and if they don't, you're large.
Roughly speaking |
