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.

You are the perfect weight....a good weight for a 5'9 woman is 155-165.  I know because I am 5'9 as well!!  You're perfect just the way you are...don't worry about it!!

Between 103 and 134 pounds, assuming you are female (males at 4'11" are off the chart). It depends on your body frame. Age also plays a factor.

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.

You haven't stated your height. If you are over 5' 7" tall then 10 stone is an acceptable weight. If you work out a lot then you need to remember that muscle is heavier than fat. If you don't feel or look fat then be happy!\nAs you are 5' 6", you don't have anything to worry about. With plenty of exercise any excess weight will disappear over the next couple of years.

you are actually underweight... \nto calculate for ideal body weight is start with 100 pounds with a 5"0 frame... then add 5 pounds per inch. since you're 5"0 (100 lbs) and 8", 8x5 = 40 so that's 140 lbs for you. and don't forget, there is like a 15 to 20 allowance for that (usually for older women). \nhowever im concerned about your perception of your own body. just eat healthy to maintain that weight, but don't starve yourself. you need to incorporate protein in your diet and it looks like you haven't been eating much -- eat a little bit more and take mulitivitamins. drink lots of water to prevent dehydration.

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

The general formula for a female is 100lbs + 5lbs for each inch over 5ft tall.  So for you sister her "ideal" weight would be 140lbs.  Keep in mind that this is just a guideline.  Other factors which will affect this are genetics, bone structure and muscle mass.  Small bone structure will obviously weight less.  And since muscle weighs more than fat, a more muscular person will weigh more than the same physical size person with a higher % bodyfat.  My guess is your sister sounds like she is pretty thin, with a small bone structure and not much muscle mass.  And I would think she would benefit from starting a full body resistance exercise routine to add a little more healthy muscle mass and probably improve your body shape as well (muscle gives shape to the body).

You didn't specify age or male/famale.\nIf you are a child, then 100 pounds is about right for 5'2".\nIf you are an adult, you might be under-weight.\nCheck out the chart at the link.

According to a health book I read, you're somewhat underweight. Here's how you find your correct weight. 5' tall= 100 pounds. Then add 5 pounds/inch, so you'd weigh 125 lbs., then measure around your wrist, over the bone, and add or subtract 5 lbs. for each 1/2 inch under or over 5".

According to http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/iwc (copy-pasted from the site):\n\nAccording to your height of 5' 5" your ideal healthy weight is 125 pounds. Your recommended weight range is between 119 and 149 pounds.\n\nThis was calculated using Hamwi formula, a simple formula commonly used by many clinicians.\n\nThese are recommended weights. Talk with your doctor about what weight is best for you and before undertaking any new diet or exercise programs.\n\nYou can learn more about BMI and see what it is for your current weight by checking out our Body Mass calculator.

If you are 5' 1" to 5' 5" you are a perfect weight regardless of age..\n\nI was 6 and a half stone to 8 stone all my adult life until I went through menopause. Now aged 48 I am weighting between 8.8 and 9.3 and I wish I weighed in at 8 stone I would love it. I am 5'4" tall or 160 cm.

My goodness!! At 126 lbs., and wearing a size 5 jeans, you are anything BUT overweight. Of course you aren't overweight, unless you are only 4' 8"!! Then you'd probably have a problem!! Sweetheart, be happy you 126 lbs. I haven't seen that weight since birth!! LOL

Are you asking what the proper weight is or height \nIf weight them that is a hard question everyone is built different \nI am 6'1" and the doctors say I should be about 175 but I will never be under 200  \nMuscle and body build can be a hard thing to judge.\nI hope that you are happy with the way you are and don't get sucked into what everyone thinks you should be or how you should look \nIf you were asking about height then I think that 5'1" sounds about right
