Re: Height & Weight Tables

[Guest guest]

The wrist measurement thing can't be very accurate. I know that the

circumference of my wrist has gone down dramatically with weight loss.

A watch that I could just barely get on before I now have to take in 4

notches and it's still loose.

I agree, Kathleen. I remember that I had to get my watch

adjusted and I stopped wearing my rings when I lost a lot of

weight on a liquid fast. The method of determining frame at the

MetLife page is probably more stable, even when you account for

weight. You can usually feel the two prominent bony protusions

on either side, even with the flesh over it.
