age 22 height 5.6, what is an ideal weight for me .

Accepted Answer

Around 130 pounds: A person 5 feet 6 inches tall can weigh around 130 pounds, give or take.

Question 6

what is the ideal weight for a woman who is 5ft 8 inches?

Accepted Answer

About 140 plus/minus: The ideal weight is determined other factors in addition to height and gender, such as muscle mass. A reasonable starting point for a woman is to start with 100 lbs for the first 5 feet, and add 5 lbs for each additional inch, so 100 + (5*8) equals 140. A bmi of 25 would be about 164 pounds and with lots of muscle you might even go higher. Also, down to about 120, or a bmi of 18.5 would be ok.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Lots of answers: You can look many different places and get many different answers.  Based on the life insurance table that I have it is 145-159 lbs (female) and 154-167 (male).

Question 8

i'm 25 years old and im 5'7".. what should my ideal weight be?

Accepted Answer

You decide: "ideal weight" charts are based on fallacies.  If we believed them, then most triathletes would be "underweight" and most professional football players -- fantastic athletes -- would be "overweight."  your ideal weight is whatever looks and feels right to you and enables you to perform your chosen sport(s) best.

Question 9

meme t

hi,i want to know what is the ideal weight for me,thank you?

Accepted Answer

Depends upon height: Check out http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. Ideal weight depends upon height when calculating body mass index (BMI). Normal is 18.5-24.9. This assumes average muscle mass. If you have more muscle than most, you might calculate as overweight, perhaps even obese, despite having less body fat. But in general, BMI is good place to start for non-athletes.

Question 10

would like to know my ideal weight im 54yrs height 5ft 3in weight 10st?

Accepted Answer

If you: Are a female, your "ideal" weight would be about 115 #; if you're a male it would be about 124# -- but those numbers do not mean that's what you should weigh. Check w/your doctor. You currently weigh about 140#.
