There are three body frame size categories.

Ideal weight can be determined in various ways but is usually dependent on the height and the body frame.
We will look at how to determine ideal weight say for example ideal weight for 5 3 female medium frame.
I am 5 4 female who has lost 124 lbs so far from 285 to 161 and was unsure what my goal weight should be because i have a large frame.
Women who measure 5 feet 9 inches and have a small frame have a standard weight of 129 to 142 lbs.
The body frame is usually categorized as small medium and large.
The ideal weight for a 50 year old woman who is 5 feet high and medium framed is 115 pounds.
A medium frame is 139 to 153 lbs.
To calculate your frame type place your thumb and index finger around your wrist.
Apparently i only have about 10 20 more to go to be well into the ideal range which is a relief compared to the charts that don t take frame size into account.
If your finger overlaps the thumb your frame is a small frame.
Over 5 5 large frame means a wrist size over 7 5 if you have determined that you have a large frame add 10 percent.
If a woman under 5 feet 2 inches about 155 cm tall has a wrist over 5 75 inches about 146 mm around then her body frame may be considered large but a woman over 5 feet 5 inches about 163 cm tall might not be thought to have a large frame unless her wrist was over 6 5 inches about 165 mm around.
To choose your goal bmi required for the ideal weight calculator you need to take into account your bone structure.
