About 110-115. But it really is an individual thing. Love your body just the way it is! All of the proportions will come in time. I have had friends who were small and lumpy or tall and stick-thin at that age, and they all grew into beautiful women.

"A recommended weight according to height is the wrong answer. Thats right weight is extremely overrated. It's about your muscle to fat ratio. What matters is keeping your body fat percentage under about 35% for a woman and 25% for a guy. \nWhy? Muscle weighs more than fat. If your body composition is 80% muscle then you may possibly weigh more than the recommended weight. This doesn't mean you are overweight, and it certainly doesn't mean you are unhealthy. \n\nI am an example of that, I am 6'6 250 lbs with 13% body fat (good for a guy). According to the charts I'm overweight, but if you see me you would guess I am about 200 lbs. Thats what muscle mass does it makes you look a lot smaller than what you weigh.\n\nThink of this a muscle cell is a thick dense heavy rubber band.\nThink of a fat cell as a water balloon that can shrink or expand with no limit as to how big it can be.\n\nThe water balloon would take up way more space than rubber bands, but wouldn't weight as much. This is how people can look small but if they are muscular they could weigh more. \n\nIn truth the height and weight chart was something created in the 1950's and it was based on a 150lb person who was sedentary and lived near the equator. Which means its relevance to most Americans is none. Trust the BMI ratio more, which is the ratio of muscle to fat, that gives a more accurate measurement of how much weight is appropriate for you. \n\n\nBMI indicates your health risks by comparing your height and weight. Males with a BMI above 27.8 and women over 27.3 are considered overweight. Males with a BMI less than 20.7 and women below 19.1 are classified as underweight.\n\nThere are limitations to BMI so it's important to realize that it is only an estimation of body fat. People who have valid reasons for maintaining weight outside of normal ranges (pregnant or breast feeding women, competitive athletes, body builders and people who are chronically ill) may experience inaccurate BMI values. People with a high percentage of muscle mass may appear overweight using BMI because muscle is more dense than fat.\n\nHere is a link to calculate your BMI: http://apexfitness.com/html/tools/fit_calc/bmi/ "

I am guessing 30-40%.\n\nmuscle - 30-40%\nfat - 15 - 20%\nskeletal wt + blood and other fluids + internal organs - 40-50%

Depends on too many things... Like wether your body type is ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph. See this for more info:\n\nhttp://www.yazinc.com/publications/index_10.html\n\nRead the whole article and you may be suprised at what you learn! This article may change your outlook as it is dense with information.\n\nAlso your bodyfat ratio comes into play. An attractive ratio for women is about 14% up to about 21%. Women can carry even more and still look good and be firm. Below 12% isn't great for women in the long term unless your the rare woman that just genetically wants to stay there. \n\nWorry about your bodyfat ratio more than raw weight. And DON'T pay any attention to those STUPID BMI scales. They are as arbitrary as "ideal weight for height" crap. Most spas and gyms have certified trainers that can do a caliper test for bodyfat %. Mine does it for a $15 fee. When I do it regularly she discounts to $10 per.\n\nJust eat balanced and work out. You'll do fine!

You are technically a little bit overweight, but only by about 5lb. They say between 95lb and 128lb is a healthy weight for your height. But it also depends on your build and how much muscle you have. \n\nHave your body fat percentage checked. Considering you are around 40, it should be no more than 32%. Also if your waist is no more than 32 inches, that is pretty good too. HTH : )

Perhaps the fat body?

What are you eating? In order to show off your abs, your bodyfat needs to be around the 5 - 10% range, depending on your body type. Get your bodyfat tested, find a personal trainer, and watch your nutrition carefully.

Your weight can vary. It's a low percentage of body fat that will allow your muscles to show. You shouldn't aim for a number on the scale. Everybody is different in their physical structure. Go by body fat percentage and just by how you feel and look.

ok here are my calculations\n\nthe average female is 130lbs which is tranlated into 58,967 grams the female ussally has 20 percent body fat so 11,783 grams are fat but 25 percent is bone matter (which is none consumable) so you have to take that part out as well, so you would have 32,432 gram for protien so the average human female would have 235,865 calories for some sick or starving bastered\n\nthe average male weighs 175 lbs which would tranlate into 79,378 grams but has 17 percent body fat (13,494 gram of fat)and again you would have to take out 25 percent for the bones. so you would have 46,039 grams of protein left after you take out body fat and the bone stucture.  so the average human male would have 305,590 calories for some furry woodland creatures\n\nthis is my cacualation...if it is not totally accurate i think it would be close...technically you can eat part of the bone but most people don't (you can eat the morrow)\n\nyou know something...i think i just earn my name (weirdnutcase)

BMI isn't the same thing as body fat.  \nI would trust a scale to tell me my BMI as long as it knew how tall I was, because it's a simple math formula. But body fat percentage depends on other things than your height and weight.

What is considered medically overweight is not done with a tape measure.  Body fat% is what is used by Physiologist to determine weather or not you're overweight.\n\nIf you are at 32 inches and of average height for a woman somewhere around 5'7 or 5'8 I'd say you're pretty close to being overweight.  If you're taller then that, the less likely you are overweight.

First of all I don't know that you're not a kid so I don't know how to advise you. Secondly a thirty inch waist is normal and I don't think it would be healthy to reduce your waist by 50 percent. That is pretty drastic. Talk to your doctor....that's my advice.

Of course, you have to work your abs alot, but you need to have under 10% body fat to be able to see them.
