The finger around the wrist thing is no indication of weight. It is a good indication of whether you are fine-boned, regular or big-boned, which helps in figuring out your ideal weight if you are going by one of those charts.

Try to touch your thumb and index finger around your wrist.

If you can overlap them by more than a little bit, you are fine-boned.

If your finger and thumb just meet, you are normal - regular-boned.

If you end up with more than a tiny gap between them, you are big-boned.

I alwyas thought I was "normal" - don't we all? Though my mother always told me I was big-boned, I figured that was just saying don't obsess about weight.

When I took this test, I thought - Aha! I AM normal - I had to squeeze a little bit, but I got them to touch. Then Paul pointed out I was using my middle finger, not my index. My index finger doesn't even come close - there's a half inch gap, no matter how hard I squeeze.

Sigh. Again, not normal though I thought I was in THAT way!

Oh well. Me bones is me bones, ain't nothin' I can do about it!
