What BMI should a 21 y/o F have?
88035
BMI is calculated by the following formula:\nweight in kg divided by height is meters squared.\nSo, for you it will be 71/1.7*1.7= 24.5\n\nAnd the normal weight is from 18.5-25\nOverweight is from 25-30\nObese is from 30-40\n\nSo, your are now border line and you need to be active to stay in the healthy range of body weight.

Oh, my -- please ignore the answer that says you should be around 85. Yes, there are some women who are naturally very tiny-boned and weigh in their 80s or 90s when they are 5'2", but a general VERY ROUGH guideline is that a woman (which you would be, physically, at age 16) who is 5 feet weighs 100 pounds. Then, for every inch thereafter, add on five pounds. So the "guideline weight" for you at 5'2" would be 110.\n\nHOWEVER, please take that with a grain of salt. That's only a rough guideline without taking into account how muscular you are, your bone structure, or any of those factors. You really should not go by weight -- it's a meaningless number. Concentrating on health and fitness will get you both an ideal weight and a great appearance. If you must go by a numerical measure, you might want to measure your body mass index instead. It's much more telling than just your weight. The link below connects you to a BMI calculator.

Be careful with these kinds of questions.  All people are different, and there's a real risk you're going to judge yourself against a criteria that is completely wrong for you.  Some girls might weigh 96 lbs and others 150, and both be healthy.  Some girls might run a 12 minute mile, others a 6 minute mile, and both be fit.\n\nIf you're really concerned, ask your mom to schedule a consultation with a doctor and ask him/her.  Get a professionals advice, not just random people on YA.  I think, though, there are qualitative assessments you can make - do you exercise?  Do you eat the right foods every day, and the wrong foods in moderation only?  Can you walk the mall for 5 hours, run a mile in gym, and sleep well at night?  If the answers yes to all of them, don't even worry about it.  Worry at 30.  Not 14.

What do you weigh at the moment? At 5ft6 and 13, you shouldn't really weigh more than about 140lb-145lb, but as your goal has to be realistic, aim to be at least 155lb. Good luck : )

you should check out your body mass index and go with that. http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/ good luck.

Compared to other girls your height and age, your weight is right in the middle.  Your BMI is 20 - and normal is 18.5 - 25.0, so you are closer to the Underweight than Overweight range, which is normal for someone who isn't fully grown.\n\nAnother measure is the "waist-hip ratio".  Your waist divided by your hips is 25/35 = 71%.  70% is considered ideal, so you are doing good there, too.

BMI is crap, i am 6'2" and 220, with 6% body fat, and i am "Over weight".  I would say 145 to 165 is safe. Depending on You type of build.

Based on the Body mass index(BMI) formula:\n\nBMI=weight/height*height \n\nWhen weight is in kg and height in m, BMI should be between 20 and 25 for a normal weight; over 30 is considered obese.\n\nSo based on these calculations you should weight between about 50 and 62,5 for a normal weight. So ideally u should lose about 24,6 kg to get within that weight range.\n\nLooks like a long way to go, so here's a closer objective for you to consider first: if you just lose 13 kg, you will get your BMI below 30 and your body will thank you a lot. Life will be literally much easier and health risks due to weight will significantly decrease.\n\nSo good luck to get to 74 kg and don't forget to throw a party when u get there!

Oh my....\n\nThat is such a hard question to answer, especially to someone so young.\n\nTechnically, the IBW (ideal body weight) is something like 100 pounds at 5 feet, then 5 pounds for each inch over the 5 feet.  I am assuming you are a young lady (these are numbers for women).  If I recall, those are the numbers.  Anyhow, you also have BMI (body mass index).  Look it up on the internet.  But...are you muscular?  "Big-boned" as they say?  Simple numbers don't always tell the story!\n\nMy advice to you...and this is personal, non-medical advice!!!  Forget the numbers.  Are you healthy?  Are you happy with who you are...inside and out?  If you're worried about weight...do something proactive.   Common sense type stuff.  \n\nBe smart about your situation.  Identify what you see as a weakness (for example, mine is fast food) and make a change (I allow myself to have fast food once a week...seems like a lot, but it is a huge change for me).\n\nBefore you make any decisions, though, regardless of any of these posts here...talk to your doctor!  Your doctor is the only person who can help you decide whether you should be "freaked out" or come up with a plan in a sensible, healthy fashion!!!\n\nBe happy with yourself.  I have found that to be the biggest ingredient in my life!!!!!!

on average if you are 5 feet you should be approx 100 pounds. you should be about 5 pounds for every additional inch. \n\nyou should be around 120, doctors suggest about 5% more to remain healthy (about 126) if you were to be 20-29% you are considered overweight (127-155), when you reach 30% (156-or more) more than what is suggested you are considered obese

According to the BMI table, you should be of healthy weight, but a body mass index does not measure fat. BMIs cannot tell you how much lean muscle you have versus % fat. Unless you are intending to go into the modeling industry where all run-way candidates non-plus-size must be underweight. Your BMI is close to my #, though, I am shorter and a different weight. Don't worry. If you are fat conscious for the sake of appearance, and not so much worried about the weight. Do toning exercises...sit-ups, crunches, curls, dumbells, and some aerobic power-walking or jogging
