There is really no such thing as an ideal weight, but rather an ideal weight range since body types and frame vary from one individual to the next.  \n\nThis calculator will give you an Ideal body weight range that you may use as a guide:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/ideal_weight_woman.html\n\nThe other is BMI, but varies tremendously and may be very inaccurate depending on body mass and frame.\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmi.html

Hardly. I'm 5'8'' and 135 pounds and I think my weight is just right. Don't pay attention to the Mary-Kates and Lindseys of the world honey. You are probably going to grow to 5'10'' and be hot supermodel!

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.

there is simple rule of thumb to find out ideal weight.\n106 lbs for 5 feet . then  6 lbs for every inch ( for males) .\n105 lbs for 5 ft and then 5 lbs for every inch  (females).\nso if you are a male: 106 + 6x6= 142 lbs\nif female                   : 105 + 5X6= 135

weight? It depends on your height.\nDo this: \n(Weight in pounds)/\n((height in inches)x(height in inches))\nand multiply all that by 703.\nExample: I'm 5'2" (girl) and weigh 110 lbs. So I'd do (110/(62x62))x703= 20.1, ideal.\nIf you're a male:\n        * Underweight: less than 20 (<20)\n        * Ideal: greater than or equal to 20 but less than 25 (≥20 but <25)\n        * Overweight: greater than or equal to 25 but less than 30 (≥25 but <30)\n        * Obese: greater than or equal to 30 (≥30)\nIf you're a female:\n        * Underweight: less than 16 (<16)\n        * Ideal: greater than or equal to 16 but less than 25 (≥16 but <25)\n        * Overweight: greater than or equal to 25 but less than 30 (≥25 but <30)\n        * Obese: greater than or equal to 30 (≥30)

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!!!!!!

Nope. You are slim, but not anorexic.  I am 5'8" and at one time I weighed 104 lbs. THAT was tooo thin!

Let me start out by saying that I hate how clothing makers size women's clothes.  They do not take height into account at all.  My wife is in perfect shape.  She is 5'9" and 140 lbs.  She wears a size 8.  You are very tall, like many models are.  Because of that, you will look better in an 8 than shorter women do in a 6.  If that is your picture, you are very pretty and should keep that by being healthy.\n\nDiet pills work by raising your metabolism artificially.  This is very unhealthy and doesn't work that well.  Exercise often gets your heart rate up to 160.  Doing that with caffeine would be very near a heart attack.  Pills are slower and more dangerous than exercise.\n\nWater pills or laxatives work by dumping water from your body.  This works very quickly, because your body fluctuates water weight often and naturally, plus your body is 60-75% water.  This is also very bad, because you need that water to function properly.  Being dehydrated is not only dangerous, but can lead to dry skin, premature aging, and even body odor.  Water weight will also come back very quickly as soon as you are done.\n\nThe best way to lose weight is simple.  Eat less (and better) and exercise more.  20 pounds is not a lot of weight.  You don't need to go to extremes to do it.  I just lost 20 lbs in 6 months while bodybuilding.  You could do it even faster if you're not trying to gain muscle at the same time, and you could do it naturally, while getting healthier.

being almost 5'4 your healthy body weigh is between 120-130 depending on your body frame. at 112 you are already underweight. try exercise with weights or resistant bands to tone up you"ll lose inches but not weight.

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.

The ideal weight for your height is between 114 to 135. Sounds like your a little underweight. I wish I had that problem lol..

I'd say probably around 126lbs (near 9 stone), but a little more or a little less won't make much difference.  \n\nTo be honest, it depends a lot on your frame.  If you're broad shouldered or have large breasts, they weigh quite a lot, and a low weight will make you look kinda disproportionate.  It also depends what weight you're happy at - if you're all light-headed and feinty at the bottom end of your healthy weight scale, then that's not too sexy!  But, similarly, if you're at the top end of your healthy weight scale and you're feeling heavy and sluggish, then that's no good either.  \n\nI've seen some VERY slim people, but most of them had a small frame and were very, very sporty (like one girl would get up at 4am every morning in the summer to go surfing, would go to work and them spend all evening surfing or skateboarding!) and some of them did look kinda disproportionately skinny - they were an off-white-blue color from lack of nutrient and their bones stuck out mega-yucky!\n\nI'd say focus on being happy with what you see in the mirror.  Don't worry about what the perfect weight is - just try to find a balence that's right for you and your lifestyle.
