What is the perfect weight?
825138
I'd say probably around 126lbs (near 9 stone), but a little more or a little less won't make much difference.  \n\nTo be honest, it depends a lot on your frame.  If you're broad shouldered or have large breasts, they weigh quite a lot, and a low weight will make you look kinda disproportionate.  It also depends what weight you're happy at - if you're all light-headed and feinty at the bottom end of your healthy weight scale, then that's not too sexy!  But, similarly, if you're at the top end of your healthy weight scale and you're feeling heavy and sluggish, then that's no good either.  \n\nI've seen some VERY slim people, but most of them had a small frame and were very, very sporty (like one girl would get up at 4am every morning in the summer to go surfing, would go to work and them spend all evening surfing or skateboarding!) and some of them did look kinda disproportionately skinny - they were an off-white-blue color from lack of nutrient and their bones stuck out mega-yucky!\n\nI'd say focus on being happy with what you see in the mirror.  Don't worry about what the perfect weight is - just try to find a balence that's right for you and your lifestyle.

I think the same way about myself. I used one of those BMI calculators, and it said that my weight is perfect. The thing is, those BMI calculators are not really accurate, because everyone has different bone structure. The best way to know if you are overweight, and how much, is to visit your physician. :-)

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

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

The previous answerer has the right idea but the wrong details.\n\nThe four parts should weigh 1, 3, 9 and 27 pounds.  The logic is that the desired weight is written in "balanced ternary" notation, where the values of the digit positions are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, . . . (that's "ternary"), but the allowed digit values instead of being 0, 1, 2 (that's regular ternary) are -1, 0, 1 (that's balanced ternary).  Then the digit values for any desired total weight written down in balanced ternary tell you whether the weight for that column is to go in one pan, go in the other pan, or stay on the floor.

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

The ideal weight for your height is between 114 to 135. Sounds like your a little underweight. I wish I had that problem lol..

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!
