On way to find out what a 5'4 female should weigh is to calculate your BMI.  Your BMI is a ratio of your height and weight expressed in a number. To find out your BMI you need to divide your weight (measured in kg) by your height (measured in m) squared. If you do not know your measurements in the metric system you can find any number of BMI calculators online like at \n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/\n\nThe accepted definitions of weight categories by BMI are: \n\nUnderweight - BMI less than 18.5 \nHealthy weight - BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 \nOverweight - BMI equal to or greater than 25 and up to 29.9 \nObese - BMI equal to or greater than 30 \n\n\nNote: these do not take into account body type so do not rely entirely on these numbers. (ie: if you have a lot of muscle, this makes your weight more and your BMI could say you are overweight when in reality it's just muscle mass).

125 is healthy for the average woman of your height, but it really depends on your bone density, amount of muscle mass, genetics, etc. Don't focus on the numbers on the scale too much. Look in the mirror and be your own judge. If you look thin and are leading a healthy lifestyle, then don't worry about it. If you think you need to shed a few inches, then add some daily exercise and eat more healthily.

I'm 5'5" and have weighed anywhere between 98-125 pounds during my adult life. (not including pregnancies)\n\nI would like to get back to about 112-115. Anything lower than this and I start to feel weak and tired,low energy,etc...\n\nRight now I am 120 and am not happy with that weight,working on it though!  :)\n\nFor the person that said women that ask this question and said their self esteem is usually low,etc...   I have very good self esteem and am just a very DETERMINED  person,thank you.\n\nEveryone has their own 'comfort weight'. The weight that you feel good about both mentally and physically.\n\nIf you base this on the body mass index chart, the normal weight for someone 5'5" is between 120-140 pounds. (Approx)\n\nFeel good,stay healthy and don't worry about what others think. It is more important that YOU are happy.

You'll get vastly different answers depending upon whom you ask.  Particularly whether you ask women, or men.  Persnally, I don't think here's a perfect weight for all women because women gain in different ways.  One 5'5 woman might look much hotter at 135 than she did at 115 because she's lucky enough to gain weight in flattering places (i.e. bigger boobs and a juicy, round butt) while another woman might look better at 115 because all she gets when she gains is a tubby li'l gut and flabby arms.  \n\n\n..... *sigh* life's not fair.

anywhere from  80 - 100 pounds, because of your height

If you are 5'4", you start with 100 pounds for the first five feet.  Then you add five pounds for every inch over five feet.  If you have large bones, you add ten pounds to the total.  Thus your weight would be 120 to 130 pounds for the right weight.\n\nIf you are a man, you start with 110 pounds for the first five feet and add 5.5 pounds for each inch over five feet.  Thus a 5'10" man should weigh 165 to 175 pounds.\n\nThose were the weights before the world started overeating.

First of all, I agree with many of the others that 122 at 5'3" is not an unhealthy weight, unless you have an extremely small body frame, or the weight is all fat and little muscle.  Secondly, a "few" pounds isn't 22 pounds, I'd say more like 5 or 10. \nIf you really want to lose a little weight, you need to do it slowly. Never drop your intake below 1200-1500 calories, because your body will actually adjust into a starvation mode, and your metabolism will slow down. It's best to break these calories up throughout the day, say eating 5-6 times a day, 200-300 calories at a time.  And, most importantly, EXERCISE! Walk, Run, Swim, Bike, whatever. Just keep moving. I am your height, and about 10 pounds less and I can eat tons because I run almost every day. Exercise is key.\n\nOne last thing-- if you ever get to a point in your weight-loss where your lose your period, you need to eat more!

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 depends on the height of someone.  Let's say that you are about 5 feet tall.  Then it could be anywhere from about 100-135.  Body types can make u look different too, some people look better at different weights, therefore everyone has their own ideal 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.
