What is the perfect weight?
371355
There is no perfect weight for a 5'1" 19 year old.  It depends on your bone structure and how much you exercise.  Truth is, you start working out more, you'll probably gain some weight, because at your height and weight, you can't have a lot of fat to lose, and you'll gain muscle from working out.  And you'll still look good.  (Remember, the BMI is not designed to handle athletes -- it assumes an average body composition, which you aren't going to have if you're exercising every day.)  Looking good is not about weight, it's about shape, health, and attitude.  \n\nShape: Having a few pounds in the right places is the difference between hard-bodied and voluptuous, both of which can look great.  Fewer people tend to be attracted to excessive flab, but standards vary as to what is excessive.  Check out some Indian or Persian art (or Peter Paul Rubens) for a different standard of feminine beauty than what you'd see on the cover of Cosmopolitan.  \n\nHealth: it does you no good to reach your ideal body shape if you wreck your health doing it.  Even if you look good, you'll feel rotten.  More likely, though, you'll look ok in silhouette but pretty scary in full light.  Your eyes and hair will be dull, your skin will be a mess, and you'll lack the energy and vitality that make a woman truly attractive.  Far better to get yourself as healthy as you reasonably can, and let your healthy body pick its own shape.  Anybody that doesn't like that shape, whatever it is, is not for you.  Someone who values your shape more than your health isn't worth wasting time on anyway.\n\nAttitude: all of the above is for nothing if you are insecure and afraid of how people view you.  That fear makes a real difference in your demeanor.  Take it from a man: the woman who *knows*, down to her bones, that she's radiantly attractive, always is, no matter what she looks like.  How do you get there?  Think on this: God made you.  When you were just a handful of cells inside your mother, He crafted you just the way you are.  Your body is not perfect -- in this life, no one's body is.  But the God who set the stars in the sky, who dreamt up the idea of trees and dolphins, who gave us sunsets and oceans and rain -- that God loves the way you are made.  Who else's opinion (even yours) compares to that?  If some stupid boy can't figure out that you're beautiful, the problem is not with you; it's with him.

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.

NO - honey, you are beautiful. A general rule of thumb for weight is 100lbs for 5' and 5 lbs for each inch over 5' - so 120 for 5' 4". That means you're perfect - probably stunning with all of that muscle!

170 pounds is actually under the correct weight for your height. 170 pounds=77.111844kgs, this means that you have a long way to go before you are overweight. I am 41 years old, 6ft 1inch tall and 80kgs and i am under the correct weight for my height. Don't panic about the weight, keep eating healthy stuff though.

I'm not quite sure, but according to the website I found, you're pretty much average...but I could always be wrong... Check it out for yourself: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/met.htm

Any weight that is in proportion with the body height.  A few extra pounds doesn't matter either.

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.

the rule is 100lbs at 5' then add 5 lbs for every inch after...so ideally (though most of us arent ideal) you should weigh 155.

I believe most people would like to weigh the appropriate number of kgs or lbs for their height and weight (not skinny or fat).

According to the guidelines set up by the AMA (American medical association and ADA American Dietetic Association)  125 is you ideal body weight if you are on the small boned size if you are large boned you can expect to weigh about 10% more 12.5 pounds more which would give you 137.5 pounds. give or take a couple of pounds.  \n\nAre you active?  Do you eat a balanced diet?  Do you include fresh fruits and vegetables and lots of fiber in your diet?  These things when part of a healthy diet will result in weight loss.  I would need to talk with you more and ask certain questions to find out for sure.

Between 52-66kg (114-145lbs - I think) based on the Body Mass Index.  Hope this helps.

I think you're one of the few I've seen who actually thought of stating frame-type when asking for advice on ideal weight.  Good thinking because your frame-type most definitely influences your ideal weight range regardless of height.  \n\nKeep in mind that body composition is a far better indicator of overall health that weight according to your height (or BMI which is a poor indicator of overall health).\n\nMoreover, try not to get fixed on one number.  An ideal weight range, is more flexible and will allow you to fluctuate between your summer and winter weight.  An ideal range for your height/frame is about 130-140.  This is only an estimate as you could exceed this range if you have dense muscle/bone or high percentage of lean muscle mass.  \n\nSince you're an engineer, you'll probably enjoy plugging numbers into the following calculators to assess and track your progress.  \n\nCalculate your Ideal Body Weight (Female)\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/ideal_weight_woman.html\n\nEstimate Adult Body Fat Percentage \nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bodyfat.html\n\nTarget Weight / Body Composition\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/target_weight.html\n\nWaist-Hip Ratio \nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/waist_hip_ratio.html

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 technical answer based on the Hamwei method (the formula used in hospitals to determin ideal body weight) is 115 pounds.  This does not take into account genetics, frame size, or lean muscle vs. fat ratio.

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.
