Having a large frame doesnt mean you cant lose weight. Think about this, if your family were in a famine for 6 months, do you think that none of you will lose weight because of your bones? You can still lose weight, but for you, you will always have a sturdy build, and there is nothing wrong with that , that is healthy. I have a larger than normal frame and although i am jealous of my friends, you have to learn to get over it. I am also tall, and i have friends who are short and a size 8-10 and they are actually quite fat. They have a lot of fat on their body but because they are short they look small. See what i mean??? So i just think they may look small but they are really unhealthy, i mean they have more body fat than me. Then i have friends with tiny frames who are very skinny, and have you ever seen their muscles? they have none! they are very punny. And i just think well im better cause i actually have strength! Hope this has helped!!! LIZ
