115 is a good weight. I'm 20 and I'm 5'6", I weigh 125 lbs. I'm in the 31st percentile for my stats.

For our height the weight would be anywhere between 115 and 135.  135 being the absolute max. It all depends on you bone structure. For me I have sort of a medium build so I have to stay between 125 and 130, or else I look VERY sick. If you are built is small stay within 115 and 125. Good luck.

using these numbers to calculate bmi = 25.8\n\nthis number means that she is just slightly in the overweight zone for an average person (25.0-29.9)\n\nif she is self conscious then it would be no danger to her health to take off a few pounds, even though she may not be overweight (it does vary between individuals), she is still on the high end of the average for a normal weight

130 lbs +/- 10%.  This means, based upon your height, your ideal body weight range is 117-143 pounds with 130 pounds the average wt for your height.  If you have a small bone frame then you are considered at healthy weight at the lower end of the range, medium bone frame--mid-range, large bone frame--higher weight range.

It is impossible to predict what the average weight of a 13-year-old should be. It is much easier for adults as there are standards by which doctors and professionals follow. However, these standards are not applicable to growing teens. At age twelve, whether you are a boy or a girl, you are most likely entering puberty. For the next few years your body will begin to drastically grow and change. Each individual will begin this process at different times, girls usually earlier than boys.\n\nAt 12 girls bodies have begun puberty whether it is noticeable or not, and will soon begin to grow in size, which is normally accompanied by weight gain. Boys on the other hand will not enter puberty until 13 or 14 and will just be beginning to grow tall and not fill out until their later teens. So as you can see it is hard to predict an average weight for a 13 year old, just look around at your classmates, some are tall or small and petite, while other have begun to develop and those who still have a few years to go. All of these are perfectly normal, just as many different weights are as well. Weight is only a number that does not consider height or body mass, so try not to get too caught up in it. At this point in your life it is important to keep healthy, eating right and exercising will make sure that your body weight is healthiest for you!

I agree, that seems ridiculous.  There are plenty of 140-lb women who are in great shape and are competitive, especially in 25+ age groups.\n\nI think 240 or 250 for men and 160 or 170 for women are reasonable cutoffs.  That might be too high, but IMO those ranges should be too high instead of too low.

weigh 3 in one and 3 in the other:\n\nif they are equal:\nweigh each of the other 2 in one pan each. One will be lighter, voila\n\nIf they are different:\ntake the lighter set of 3, weigh one in one pan and one in the other and hold one aside.  If one is lighter, voila, if they are equal it's the one set aside.\n\nthat's the whole thing in 2 weighings

Since the mean is 10, what does that mean the total is? 24.3*10 = 243.\nNow, how much has the total gone down by? (31-18) and (28-19) make 22. So the new total is 223. So the new mean is 22.3.\n\nLets list the numbers in order:\na b c 13 d e f.\nWe want to make the last one as big as possible, so lets make the others as small as possible:\n1 2 3 13 14 15 f\nNow we just have to find f which makes the total 13*7; which gives 43.\n\nAgain, this just comes down to working out totals. Boy total = 123*178.4. Girl total is 237*168.3. Total total = 61830.3.\nSo we divide that by the total number of people (360) to get 171.75, approx.

She is NOT heavy. She is ideal weight. It sounds like your sister has an eating disorder. Tell your parents that is important, trust me. Your sister could seriously hurt herself if she continues this way!

Oh my God!  No, they were being f**ktards who should probably enjoy a good evening of electro-shock to get them back on track as people.\n\nIf you're a 5'7" female, you should weigh anywhere between 127 and 159 pounds.  That would be considered ideal, so the other user (and if you can contact her through her question, please do so) was thin, and you're actually a bit underweight.\n\nI don't care what anyone else says, you're NOT supposed to be able to see the outline of your skeleton, and women are SUPPOSED to be hippy.\n\nGuys really need to spend a bit more time perusing their Boticelli and learning to appreciate the beauty the female form was supposed to possess.\n\nYou're fine, girl.  Anyone who tells you you're fat either doesn't know what they're talking about, or they're just being malicious.  In either case, you shouldn't bother listening to them.  =)

Weight fluctuates throughout the day. Like me, I am 5'5" and in the morning I will weigh around 106 and my weight will fluctuate between that # and 112 throughout the day. It has to do with the fact that you eat and drink liquids. It's fine. Don't worry- you did not actually gain 4 pounds in one day.

for 5' 6 your weight is 132 is within normal weight range\nper height.\n\nFor a 5'6 the ideal body weight by height is 135 +/- 10\n\nYour underweight if your less than 125\nYour overweight if your more than 135\n\n\nFor a female: 5 ft is equal to 105 lbs, for every one inch is equal to 5 lbs.

My friend is that height, a model and weighs 125.  She's not anorexic looking, just thin and petite.

A woman of average build of your height should weigh 115-120 pounds.

The previous answerer has the right idea but the wrong details.\n\nThe four parts should weigh 1, 3, 9 and 27 pounds.  The logic is that the desired weight is written in "balanced ternary" notation, where the values of the digit positions are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, . . . (that's "ternary"), but the allowed digit values instead of being 0, 1, 2 (that's regular ternary) are -1, 0, 1 (that's balanced ternary).  Then the digit values for any desired total weight written down in balanced ternary tell you whether the weight for that column is to go in one pan, go in the other pan, or stay on the floor.

120 isn't that big. You should do whatever you feel, though. As long as its not drastic, like anorexia.
