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.

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

to know what you should weight:\nfor women, at 5 feet tall start at 100 pounds, then for every inch add five pounds (then add ten pounds if you have a large frame, let it stay the same if you have a medium frame, and subtract ten if you have a small frame)\nfor men, do the same except they should start at 110 at five feet tall, and then add six pounds for every inch.\n\n--- to find out how many calories you can take to stay at your current weight, multiply your current weight times fifteen and that'show many calories you can eat per day to stay at that weight. to lose weight, subtract five hundred calories per day to lose one pound a week, or subtract seven hundred and fifty calories to lose 1 and a half pounds a week, and one thousand calories to loose two pounds a week. good luck

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.

Go here:\n\nhttp://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/\n\nType in your height (5'6") and then some weights (type in your weight now and then add or subtract 10 pounds). You should have a Body Mass Index (BMI) below 25.\n\nYou should weigh no more than 155 pounds.\n\nA low BMI is also unhealthy. You should be no less than 115 pounds (BMI should be at least over 18.5).\n\nSo your ideal weight range is 115-155 pounds.

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.

Not hardly - for every inch over 5 feet you should have 3 to 5  pounds if you are physically and expect to be nutritionally fit.

on average if you are 5 feet you should be approx 100 pounds. you should be about 5 pounds for every additional inch. \n\nyou should be around 120, doctors suggest about 5% more to remain healthy (about 126) if you were to be 20-29% you are considered overweight (127-155), when you reach 30% (156-or more) more than what is suggested you are considered obese

Well, I am 5'7 1/2 and my weight has ranged from 118 lbs (size 2) to 191 lbs (size 16-18). My best weight was around 135 (size 6). I also have gained curves with those figures, so it really depends on your body shape. I also have a small frame. With medium build probably around 125-145 is nice.
