I think there's something about this that I just don't get.

When I gain weight, my wrists get bigger. There's fat around them. Elbows and ankles, too. So how does one account for that in taking such a measurement?

I measure the difference between my elbow bones, because those bones dont gain weight.

I think I'm gonna have to find my elbow bones...they're a bit ...umm...submerged right now. :D

I am 5'10" and have a small frame. I often get comments about how thin my wrists and how long my fingers are. I am 159 now and I look good here. I wear a size 10ish (still a LITTLE tight though!) and look normal... maybe not SUPER thin but DEFINITELY good... so I would get to 160 and see.. you might just like how you look here, small frame or not! My tummy is still kind of big for my taste but it looks much better in clothes.. but no one's perfect, right?

Pic that I just posted in the 20-somethings photo album to give you an idea of how a small-framed 5'10"er looks at around 160 (I'm the one on the left, obviously!):

So don't worry too much... you can always adjust your goal later, right? :)

You look great Meg! But I understand what you mean about looking good in clothes vs undressed. When I weighed about 150, I looked good in clothes, but still had more belly than I wanted. Belly and a little boobage went away when I lost 15 more.
