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.

Ideal weight for that height of a grown woman is 98-132 pounds.  She should definitely not try to lose weight, but gain muscle tone if she is not pleased with how she looks.  She should not diet, but she should eat healthy and exercise.  If she is a teenager and still growing, 90 pounds is probably not unhealthy and she can expect to gain more weight as she gets older, but losing weight could be bad for her!

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.

The ideal weight for a women who is 5'1" is anything from 106-140lbs.  You are below that and you're fine.  Don't forget that you're still only 16 and your body doesn't stop growing until you're 18.  What happens with teenagers bodies is that the internal organs grow to full size first of all (which is why teenagers usually get puppy fat) and then their bodies stretch to full size to accomodate the organs.  At 16, you will still be going through this process.  They don't even take BMI into consideration at this point because you've not finished growing yet.\n\nThings that are said to you as an impressionable child can often get imprinted on your brain and are hard to shift.  Please try to shift this.  Whenever you remember those words, just shift your thoughts and tell yourself how wonderful you are and how wonderful you look.  \n\nYour friends say you're not fat and you are within the normal weight range for your height.  So, you're not fat .. it's official!  :)\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

112 is awfully light for someone that's 5'7". It really depends on your body type I guess. Just be careful and healthy about it.

An adult human colon should weigh around 3 to 5 pounds.

being around 6'2 or 3"  myself and being male and looking for a tall woman and knowing my own weight to be around 222lbs i would say anything around 200 give or take 20 pounds is totally acceptable, healthy and attractive.

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.

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!

Please do not persist on this dangerous course.  At 5'2" 115 pounds, I looked great, which means you don't need to lose any weight.  You might want to actually gain some weight.  I'm sure that you are beautiful the way you are.  Don't fall into the media's trap of what a woman should look like.

atleast 5ft 6inches.. more so if you are in west..all the best!! be healthy 'not' anorexic :-)

If you want to use an easy thing to guess. \n\nIf the person is 5 feet tall, they should weigh 100 pounds. \n\nFor each inch of height above 5 feet, they add 5 pounds. \n\nEg:  I am 5 foot 6 inches, so I should weigh 130 pounds. (approximately).  but don't make a big deal about it, if she stays active, she will burn the calories she intakes.  It is if she is not active, and eating poor choices, that you may need to suggest activities that will help keep her burning fuel. \n\nGood luck.  Self esteem begins at home.

At 5'7" and 120 pounds your BMI calculates to 19.1. Depending on who you talk to you are either at the very bottom of the normal scale or just below. \n\nI am hoping you are a small boned lady and this is your ideal weight. Please don't try to lose any more.\n\nIt is great that you feel better about yourself. As for healthy I am not sure. Again it depends on you and your body. How do you feel, how is your energy and stamina?\n\nEven more important, how are you going to maintain your weight and still get the nutrition your body needs?

Good grief, most of the girls in my granddaughters fifth grade class weigh 82 pounds or more. That is not healthy for someone who is five feet tall.\n \nIs it anorexic?  You probably would have to be anorexic to weigh only 82 pounds at five feet tall.\n\nYou have to eat a nutritonal diet or your organs will wither up and quit working.\n\nIt killed Karen Carpenter

When I was 12, I was 5'3" and I weighed 110lbs.  I remember being healthy, not to fat or thin.  It all depends on your body type.  Those extra few inches could afford you an extra 15-20 lbs.
