Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Sorry it took me so long. This is whats in Joyce Vedral's Book " Bottoms Up " The folloing Height-Weight Chart is a guidline for those of you who are curious or who feel more comftorable monitoring yourself by weight. I never look at such charts, but I will indulge you if you must. Befroe you look at the chart determine your frame. Then you will be able to see whether or not you are within the range of weight suggested for your height. You will need a partner to help you determine your frame. Frame determination Chart ________________________ Height Space between elbow bones 4'11 " -5'5 " 2 1/4 " - 2 1/2 " 5'6 " -5'11 " 2 3/8 " -2 5/8 " 6'0 " and taller 2 1/2 " - 2 3/4 " _______________ Extend your arm and bend your forearm upward at a 90-degree angle. Turn the insideof your wrist toward your body and extend your fingers straight out. Place the thumb and index fingers of your other hand on the bones that protrude from either side of your elbow. Have a partner take and measure the space between your fingers. (If you try to do this yourself, by the time you move your fingers you will probably have lost the measurement. It's better, for the sake of accuracy, to use a partner). After you have gotten the measurement, compare it to those listed in the above frame determination chart, which gives the frame determination for medium-framed women. If your measurements fall within the range chart, you are medium framed. If they fall below those given in the chart , you are a small framed woman, and if they are higher, you are a large-framed woman. Now you are ready to find your ideal weight range on the height-weight chart. For your convenience the chart is to be read exactly as it is. No allowance is made for clothing or shoes because I don't want you to have to calculate anything! In other words, I assume you are weighing yoursle nude and in bare feet.
