Healthy body weight range is: 113 to 138 pounds.\n\nThis is a healthy weight for you based on your height and gender.\n\nHere's an interactive web site that might help with this kind of information:\nhttp://www.dietitian.com/ibw/ibw.html

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

easiest formula for calculating ideal body weight for adult women.\nIt is called the Metropolitan method.\n\nFor the first 5 feet of height count 100#, then add 5# for every\nadditional inch of height. This will give you your ideal weight.\nThen there is a variance of 10% each way and you still are in the Ideal body weight range.\n\nExample: Person is 5'6"tall\n100# (first five feet)30#(5# each additional foot)\nIdeal body weight=130# (+/-(10%)\nThe ideal body weight range for this woman would be:\n117-143 lbs.

I'm 5'4" also, and I've been told that the proper weight is from 110-125 or so. If you have a small build, keep to the lower side, while a medium or larger build is fine at 130 or 135.

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!!!!!!

You are on your ideal weight if your BMI (body mass index) varies from 18 to 25. BMI=weight in kg/(height in m)^2. Therefore, for a person of your height (1.75 m) the ideal weight would be in the range of 55kg to 76kg. \nHowever, if your very muscular, this formula does not apply and it is ok to weight more.

I was going to a diet doctor and I am 5'3. Ideal weight is between 125 - 130

Actually, more like 100 lbs. See graph in sources, 5ft is 60 inches = 3rd percentile, equivalent weight is 100lbs. You would look pretty chubby if you were 125lbs and 5 ft. 160lbs and you're more like a ball.

at 5ft 6in 115 to 155 lbs is considered a healthy weight for you. so you have about 25 lbs to lose thats not too bad. You could try slimfast or if you drink alot of pepsi or something try to cut back and walk. or try eating healthier snacks. after having my kids the weight took about a year to come off. Good luck.

The average weight for someone your height should be between 180 and 185 pounds.  The more you exercise, the more fat you will burn.  You will also create more muscle by exercising.  Muscle weighs more than fat, so you may think your weight is too high, but if you have good muscle tone you are just right!

I'm 25 years old, 5'6" and 135 lbs.  I wear a size 4.  So no, 5'7" and 140 lbs is not fat!  The formula for ideal weight is: at 5', you should weigh 100 lbs, for every inch you are above 5', add 5 lbs.  +/- 5 lbs.

Not hardly - for every inch over 5 feet you should have 3 to 5  pounds if you are physically and expect to be nutritionally fit.

At 5'6" and 137 pounds your BMI calculates to 22.1 This falls in the middle of the normal BMI range. As you indicated that you are physically active and work-out regular I have to assume you have above average muscle structure. Thus your weight is most likely just about perfect. If you belong to a Gym or fitness center see if they can measure your body fat percentage. This will give you an even better idea how close you are to your perfect body weight

If you eat healthy and stay active that is great!  I am about 5'8 and I look pretty good at that weight!  Don't compare your weight to your shorter friends bc us tall girls weight more anyway.  Remember to feel good about yourself and be healthy and you will be beautiful.
