I don't know what my build is.  But I do know my wrists are bigger than my mom's and sisters, even tho we are the same height.  Also, I have broad shoulders too.  Hopefully I'm medium and not large lol.  All I know is, I just ordered my brother the book, and he's already began on my advise.  he needs to lose about 25 pounds or so.  I am now down 11.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BOOYA!!!!!!!!

Hi eliruthy! :)

Hooray on the 11.8 pound loss!!! ;D ;D ;D

Your bone size is what it is. Simply accept it and be content with it because you cannot change it.

To check bone size, put an opposite hand's thumb and middle finger around one of your wrists.
If they won't touch each other, you have large bones.
If they can overlap, you have small bones.
If they approximately just meet, you have medium bone size.

As you approach your goal, I suggest you closely watch how you look and feel.
If you do like I did years ago and way overshoot your goal, you'll feel weak and look gaunt around your cheeks.
I was a bit over 20 pounds underweight even though I was right in the higher end of my ideal BMI range.
What you do today is what matters!

Thanks!  I'm medium---whew---Girls don't like to be large anything LOL.   Don't worry.  I'm planning on 135 which is about 15+ pounds heavier than when I was 18 which seems about right....compared to NOW it should be awesome!

Your right on track eliruthy. I think it's important to recognize the name of your post, No sugar alcohols = SUCCESS!!!! 

Sugar Alcohols can stall weight loss in many people. As outlined in the book they are the first thing to stop if you plateau. I'm glad you've proven this to yourself and have a handle on it. For others who are experiencing a stall right now, follow eliruthy's lead and cut the sugar alcohol products.  ;)
