I'm 5'1 and today I was 111 pounds.  Studies have shown that most people find a BMI of 20.8 most attractive- a weight of 110 pounds with a height of 5'1 would give me a BMI of 20.8 so I'd like to lose a few pounds.   \n\nwhat do you think the perfect weight for a 5'1 19 year old girl is?

One that is healthy for your body type. If you are 111 and studies show 110 to be the preferred weight, why are you whining about 1 pound? Did you weigh with your cloths and shoes on, is it "that" time..........if so there is your 1 pound. Stop worrying about what some studies say and ask your Doctor what is a good weight for you.

At your age and height, 115 is a perfect weight.  And, weight is relative anyway.  What is important is what makes up the weight that you carry.  For instance, lean, trim muscle weighs more than fat, so a person without a lot of excess fat on their body is going to actually weigh more than the same-size person who has a lot of excess fat.  So, what you really need to be concerned with is your physical well-being.  Are you in good shape?  That's a much more important question than what you weigh.  I'd say that as long as you are in good shape and not carrying around a lot of excess fat, you're doing fine.

well, you are above your ideal weight range - at 5'2" your weight should be from 105 to 120 lbs. but if you are fit and do not have any health problems, you shouldnt worry too much about your weight.

The one thing you don't want to do is to lose weight - very important.\n\nIf you're five foot and half an inch then 100 pounds is borderline between being underweight and normal weight.  90 pounds would put you into the underweight category and this is an unhealthy place to be considering you have a medium frame.\n\nDon't eat 100 to 300 calories a day as you will make yourself seriously ill.  Your body needs a certain amount of calories just to perform it's basic functions such as keeping you warm and the blood circulating.\n\nFor someone who weighs 100 pounds even when you're asleep your body needs 43 calories an hour - that's a little over 1000 calories a day.  Whilst you're awake you'll need 48 calories an hour to do nothing other than sit and read or watch TV.\n\nYou should be looking at eating upwards of 1500 calories a day just to stay healthy.  You're not going to put on any weight if you eat a good balanced diet.\n\nYou also need to be looking at drinking more water, ideally 6 to 8 avaerage sized glassfuls a day.  Water doesn't have any calories in it and is essential to keep your body healthy and functioning properly.\n\nYour medically recommended ideal weight is between 99 and 130 pounds and your body mass index (BMI) should be between 19 and 25, yours is 19.2.\n\nI get the feeling that you're wanting to lose weight but please don't do this.  A lot of women set themselves unrealistic target weights and can make themselves ill in the process of trying to acheive them.  I guess that the media has a lot to answer for in regards to this with the relentless images of waif like models and stick-thin icons.\n\nIf you are genuinely concerned about your weight then please talk to a physician or dietician who will be able to give you valuable practical advice.

You are well within a healthy range. The top number for your height before being considered as "overweight" on the Body Mass Index scale is about 138 or 139 pounds. 19-25 % BMI is normal. You are about a 21 %. If you still feel uncomfortable about your appearance, perhaps some muscle toning would make you feel better?

I am the same height as you and the healthiest weigh for our height is 135lbs. You are within the healthy weight range, just at the height of the scale. Don't stress about it, alot of girls put on a few extra pounds during puberty. You'll thin out around 16 years old. Just exercise a 1/2 hour per day. You are OK!

I think 119 at 5'2 is fine.  I am 5'5 and normally weigh 130 and I don't look overweight.  Don't worry about the shots.  It's just like getting pinched for a second.  Just close your eyes and don't think about it.

no you shouldnt your only 14 wait until your 16-18 and you know your overweight 5'4" and 118 is not overweight and if your going off of a Body Mass Index chart then that is BS also because according to a BMI my ideal weight is 200 lbs at 6'2" but I am 260 lbs I work out 4 days a week and run 6 days a week so im not overweight. What you could do now though is start running nothing wrong with that but dont worry about losing weight it will just happen naturally while running.

hey im 12 and i weigh 123 but my height is 5'7 so it depends on the height. and yea you are still growing and so am i. so you will get thinner and just stay away form junking stuff. your BMI is probably: 22 but mine is: 19 but like i said it depends on the height. so dont worry we are still growing at the age of 12. if you want more with your weight go to www.deathclock.com and it tells you your BMI and if your over weight,perfect,desirable,or a little chunky. i went there and it said my: BMI was 19 and i was desirable and said if i go 5 more puonds i'll be underweight and you dont want to go there. well GOOD LUCK!

A method for evaluating your weight is "body mass index" (BMI)which compares weight with height.  Having a BMI above 25 means that you need to shed some pounds.  Any amount over 29 is thought to be obese.  With the info you have given your BMI is sitting at 22-23 which means you have an optimal weight!!  Don't allow society to tell you what your body should look like.  Take care of yourself and eat right but don't stress over a little extra something here or a little there.  Life is too short.  Make peace with your body and be grateful for all that it does for you everyday!

that depends on your build. \n\ni would probably say somewhere from 120-140 for an average female. \nbut remember that muscle weighs more than fat...so if your really muscular, you'll weigh more, but you won't necessarily be fat.

The way that doctors and other medical professionals determine if someone is a healthy weight is the Body Mass Index (BMI). Given your weight and height you have a BMI of 22.3. This number falls in the range of a healthy weight. Losing 20-30 pounds would put you into an underweight and unhealthy range. Losing 10-15 pounds would keep you in the range of a healthy weight, but it puts you very close to being underweight. I wouldn't suggest it. Your current weight is perfect for your height and will ensure that you are happier and 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 : )
