Many of us have unrealistic goals in terms of our ideal weight. We think back to what we weighed in high school, when we got married, had children or a size that we associate with a positive period in our lives. Others often base their magic number on what relatives or friends weigh. In the end, you need to learn to base the number(s) on you, your body type and something that is realistic to maintain. Disclaimer: there will always be people that will not conform to the weight ranges below. Especially those that have a large percentage of muscle mass. However, I think the information below tends to provide very realistic and healthy ranges for most of us.
First:
Determine your frame size by placing your right thumb and middle finger around your left wrist.
Small frame: your fingers overlap when you place your thumb and middle finger around your wrist.
Medium frame: your fingers touch when you place your thumb and middle finger around your wrist.
Large frame: your fingers do not touch when you place your thumb and middle finger around your wrist.
Next:
Find the correct chart for your gender. Locate your correct place on the chart.
