i dont care what all the other people are saying, they are talking rubbish. There is NO way you can determine how much you should weigh from your height alone. Even the most simple BMI which isnt the most perfect proper measurement, gives a more realistic idea and thats from weight and height stats combined. You dont have much height on you so i would recomend no more than 11 stone for a healthy body. 10 stone is more realistic to what your likely to be. but then your probably young to be asking that kind of question so your probably like 9 stone?

It is hard to give you an average weight without looking at many other factors (such as build). The best way to calculate your ideal body mass is to use the BMI calculations. This is the Body Mass Index. If your weight falls within the 18.5 - 24.9 weight range you are of a normal weight.\nYou can calculate your BMI here. \nhttp://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/\nHope this helps!

cut it down maybe 10 or 15f pounds, then you should feel comfortable.  i say that it does not matter.  u r fine the way you are, 135 is not that bad.

Your BMI is 26.26, it should ordinarily be in the range 18.5 to 24.9 so it's a little above what it perhaps should be.  An ideal weight would be between 57 and 71kg.\n\nThere are many factors that need to be taken into account, athletes or bodybuilders for example have BMI's and weights that are often outside the 'normal range'.\n\nThe best course of action, if you're at all concerned, would be to consult in person with a physician, dietician or other suitably qualified person.

i think you should throw away your scales and judge yourself based on different criteria; how do you feel? when you bend over, does anything hurt or get in the way? are your clothes comfortable? can you run around the block without calling 911?can you go up and down the stairs three times in a row without collapsing half way up the fourth time? \nin other words, how much you way says nothing about your personal health.  you should be more concerned with what your body can do, since it is a tool for your spirit.  if your body can do what you want/need it to do without hurting or failing you, then you're at the perfect BMI for you\nalso, as a young woman, you don't want to be too thin.  many people think you're supposed to gain weight as you get older, but in fact, you are supposed to gradually lose it as you lose muscle mass.  If you're too thin to begin with, it may mean serious health problems later, particularly for women.\nfurther, your weight does not tell you what you are weighing.   i"m 5'6" and 120 lbs. but most of that is flab.  if i was in good shape, I'd weigh closer to 130 lbs, but i'd look thinner because the extra weight would be muscle rather than flab.\ni'm 46 and when i was your age, i was 135 lbs.  i was athletic then, and i have never had a problem or a concern about my weight until recently when i realised how much muscle i've lost and how much that has aged me.  just concentrate on being physically fit and you'll weigh what you need to\nkeep well

I take it you are around 5'0-5'3 if I converted correctly?  Text books state you should weigh anywhere between  98 - 132 pounds, which is about 44-59 kilograms. \n\nNow, more important than your ideal body weight, is your body composition- meaning, how much is body fat? This really makes a difference especially if you are working out. There is a difference between a 80 kg footballer and an 80 kg couch potato! \n\nThe ideal body fat composition for women ranges from 18-22% and for men 12-17%. Your local gym should have trainers available to test body fat, and this would give you a better idea of what your personal ideal weight should be.

I thinnk going down like to about 10 to 20 pounds be all right too. I know a girl who is your height and she's 105 lb. Her doctor said she's doing fine. Not underweight at all. BTW, I kinda agree with Pun. She's right.

Go to this site to calculate your BMI. It's SOOO simple :) If it says you are normal or underweight, any weight in that is great and attractive. And even if you're overweight it ok! Excercise and eat healthier.

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 : )

I think you'll find you're easily in the normal range of most calculators including BMI.  Here's a few to to give you an idea of your ideal weight range.  Keep in mind, these tools are for estimates only.\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/ideal_weight_woman.html\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmi.html

I think you're one of the few I've seen who actually thought of stating frame-type when asking for advice on ideal weight.  Good thinking because your frame-type most definitely influences your ideal weight range regardless of height.  \n\nKeep in mind that body composition is a far better indicator of overall health that weight according to your height (or BMI which is a poor indicator of overall health).\n\nMoreover, try not to get fixed on one number.  An ideal weight range, is more flexible and will allow you to fluctuate between your summer and winter weight.  An ideal range for your height/frame is about 130-140.  This is only an estimate as you could exceed this range if you have dense muscle/bone or high percentage of lean muscle mass.  \n\nSince you're an engineer, you'll probably enjoy plugging numbers into the following calculators to assess and track your progress.  \n\nCalculate your Ideal Body Weight (Female)\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/ideal_weight_woman.html\n\nEstimate Adult Body Fat Percentage \nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bodyfat.html\n\nTarget Weight / Body Composition\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/target_weight.html\n\nWaist-Hip Ratio \nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/waist_hip_ratio.html

Generally you start weighing in clothed, shorts at least. If you're very, very, close to the cutoff point for a weight class (a few ounces over) you might want to lose the shorts. Nobody cares; don't worry about it. Of course you'll be a little bit nervous and embarassed, but you'll get used to it.

Are you fishing for compliments?  I'll bet you know darn well that 5'6 and 134 lbs isn't fat.  If you FEEL fat, that's another thing but ask yourself realistically if you're just being hard on yourself or do you really truly believe you have a weight problem.
