You didn't mean by the posted chart did you? Because it's for elbow width, not wrist circumference. My wrist circ is a lot more than double the "medium" elbow width. I'm sure that's not what you meant. I've never seen a chart for wrist width (which may not mean much!). And I don't think anyone has a wrist circ double the "medium" range (in other words, around 12.5 inches!).
A hair under 3"--equivalent to a large-boned man over 6 feet tall. No, I knew it wasn't wrist circumference.
With my bone structure I *should* be well over 6 feet, everyone else in my family is. My dad's 6'4", grandfather and uncles even taller. I had a lot of ear infections/tonsillitis as a child and I think it stunted my growth.
My wingspan in almost 6'3" and it should be my height, 5'8". My wrist circumference is almost 7", when I was 370 it was almost 9". My ankles are 12"--a tad swollen, but still would be over 11" even if they weren't swollen. I think I qualify as large framed using any system of measurement.

The upside is, I could squeeze into size 16 jeans at 250 lbs. Now some of these 16 are floating on me and I should be in 14s real soon. (None of my friends believe I'm over 200 lbs unless I step on the scale in their presence. Being big-boned definitely has its advantages.)
