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).

As a rule of thumb, when I grew up we figured a decent weight was height (in cm) - 100. For your ideal weight you were supposed to subtract 10% if you're male and 15% if female. \nCompared to modern BMI standards this is a bit to generous - they expect you to be thinner, but it certainly worked well for me (when I am at my perfect BMI people desperately want to feed me, I am way too thin).  Since there are also differences in individual build, there is always more leeway than any of weight-height table seem to be willing to give you. \nJudging from personal experience, I feel that you're at worst SLIGHTLY overweight (but perhaps not at all). Fat or obese - NEVER.

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.

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)

Most medical charts say 120-160 lb is the "healthy" range.  But other factors need to be considered such as body type (pear, apple, etc), muscle mass, bone structure (small, medium, large) etc.  You hit the nail on the head-- being happy with yourself is as important as what a chart says you "should" be.

I am 5'4, and weigh 130.  I would like to weigh about 120-125 which would be about a size 8 for me.  It depends on your build, I suppose.

It is hard to give you an average weight without looking at many other factors (such as build). The best way to calculate your ideal body mass is to use the BMI calculations. This is the Body Mass Index. If your weight falls within the 18.5 - 24.9 weight range you are of a normal weight.\nYou can calculate your BMI here. \nhttp://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/\nHope this helps!

A BMI (Body Max Index)calculation  may help. It can tell you if you are in the average weight for your height. This is by no means a perfect measure, as it doesn't take into account individual factors, like %muscle, body shape, but is usually accepted as a reasonable comment on body shape\n\nThe calculation is in Imperial weights\nBMI = (Weight in Pounds divide by      \n(Height in inches) x (Height in inches)) x 703 \n\nMetric\nBMI = Weight in Kilograms divide by           \n(Height in Meters) x (Height in Meters) \n\nA figue between 19 and 25 is a normal healthy weight\n\nI've also included an online calculator to do the calculation for you. The top link is imperial measures, the bottom is metric

I would say that the most ideal weight for you is when you can stand in front of the mirror and say you are happy with the way you look.  Who cares about the scales.  If your healthy and happy, that's all that matters!

It depends on your age but for a female between the ages of i think 15-25 it would be 125. There are lots of places online you can look up your ideal weight. just search "ideal weight calculator" there are tons of um.

Basically you need to first find out what your ideal weight should be.\n\nThen determine how many calories a person of your age and ideal weight should be consuming.\n\nThen figure out how many calories you are currently consuming.\n\nIf you are consuming more calories than you should be at your ideal weight, then subtract those #s and now you know how many calories you should be burning in your work out.\n\nIf you join a gym, they should have a trainer on staff to help you figure this out.
