bmi\n\n\nThe body mass index (BMI) or Quetelet Index is a measure of the weight of a person scaled according to height. It is used as a simple means of classifying sedentary individuals according to their body fat content. As a rough guideline for adults a BMI of less than 20 implies underweight, over 25 is overweight, and over 30 is obese. It is calculated by taking the weight of the individual in kilograms and dividing by the square of the height in metres. It was originally developed between 1830 and 1850 by the Belgian polymath, Adolphe Quetelet during the course of developing "social physics".

If you are 5'5\nand you r Small Frame ur weight should be 117-130\nand if you r Medium Frame ur weight should be 127-141\nand if you r Large Frame ur weight should be 137-155\n\nAnd you can calculate your BMI using these formulae:\n\nEnglish BMI Formula \nBMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches ) x ( Height in inches ) ) x 703\n \nMetric BMI Formula \nBMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in Meters ) x ( Height in Meters ) ) \n\nBMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.\n\nBMI can be used to indicate if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal. A healthy BMI score is between 20 and 25. A score below 20 indicates that you may be underweight; a value above 25 indicates that you may be overweight.

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).

it depends on the height of someone.  Let's say that you are about 5 feet tall.  Then it could be anywhere from about 100-135.  Body types can make u look different too, some people look better at different weights, therefore everyone has their own ideal body weight.

There's factors such as height/age that affect it. I personally do not believe that the basic formulas they use for that and for body mass index are up to date. I'm 6'1" and when I was in the army at 18 they said I should weigh around 180 lbs. At 180lbs. I looked sickly because of how skinny I was. My comfortable weight is at about 200 lbs.

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!

You may find charts or graphs that gives general numbers but that is not accurate.  It depends on how much muscle mass you have, how active you are.   They go by height and weight but a very muscular person will weigh alot more than a sedentary person.  You should be able to tell by looking in a mirror.  Don't get caught up in the numbers!

Regrettably, yes, you are overweight and facing moderate health risk. \nAccording to the BMI (Body Mass Index) classification, for your height of 5' 6", your ideal weight should range bet. 54 kg - 67 kg (i.e. you can multiply by 2.23, meaning bet. 120 lbs - 149 lbs.)

there is no "best weight" or "best height" for teenage females. There IS- best weight based on your height. Search for a BMI (body mass index) calculator online. It will let you know what a healthy weight is for your current height.
